Microsoft Publisher is simple and sleek!
I use Microsoft Publisher for all of my newsletters and reports as well as invitations and ads.
- Extremely user-friendly.
- Easily converts to image files and PDF.
- Simple maneuverability.
- Less expensive alternative to high-end graphics programs.
- Would like more built-in graphics.
- Would like smaller file size.
- Would like the ability to curve text.
- Fantastic looking publisher pieces without high cost software.
- Efficient for productivity.
- No real learning curve.
I have also used Adobe PageMaker for desktop publishing and simple design work but have found Publisher to be so much simpler to use. The navigation is easy, the interface is clean and the program is intuitive for even the most novice of users. The templates that come along with Publisher are also far better than PageMaker's.

Microsoft Publisher Simple to Use
I use Microsoft Publisher to create course flyers. Microsoft Publisher is used on an individual basis across the organization.
- Easy create newsletters and flyers
- Many templates to choose from
- It doesn't have similar layout as other Microsoft applications such as Word and PowerPoint.
- A little expensive compared to publishing software.
- Less time consuming
I think Microsoft Publisher a correctly used to create invitation cards, flyers, and newsletters with the ability to choose from various templates. This feature is not available in Adobe Acrobat DC.

Microsoft Publisher for eNewsletter
Right now, we use Microsoft Publisher, specifically in one department, which is the safety department. Every month we have meeting minutes recorded from our safety meeting and post the minutes on our website. I use Microsoft Publisher to edit the minutes into an eNewsletter to send out to all employees and make them aware of new safety action items
- Developing eNewsletters
- Mass email sending
- Some of its interface felt a little dated
- Limited integration from other Microsoft programs
- Positive because it comes with Microsoft Business Premium
- Microsoft Publisher is easy to get into cost and time-wise
Microsoft Publisher has a powerful editing program. I would consider it Microsoft word and outlook came together. Microsoft Publisher offers many unique features that aren’t found in either Microsoft Word or Outlook. Being able to automate templates and save email list have made a big difference.
