At first glance, Microsoft Word and Publisher appear to perform the same tasks. Both of these programs offer a way to combine text with images and formatting, but Word tends to have limitations. That is where Publisher shines. It is a much better tool for creating precision publications that need to go to a print shop such as: booklets, corporate reports, business cards, posters, pamphlets, and greeting cards.
Many organizations have the need for such documents, but can’t afford the high price software from Adobe like InDesign and Photoshop. Publisher comes standard with many versions of the Microsoft office suite and has an easy learning curve. That makes it the perfect desktop publishing program for organizations on a budget.
