Microsoft Publisher 2003 Description:

Microsoft Publisher 2003 review:
5 stars (User Friendly!) - If you are looking to create brochures, newsletters, calendars, etc. and can use any of the Microsoft applications, Publisher is the tool for you! I've used Publisher at work for the last five years and finally purchased for home use and I'm glad I did. I plan on using it for family projects and holiday cards and greetings. Publisher is worth the price.
1 stars (What a disappointment !!!!!) - I have been using Publisher 98 for some years and decided to upgrade to 2003. I have never had any problems with 98 and been very satisfied. Publisher 2003 is a whole different ballgame. I purchased it because of the webpage publishing and found that I could not successfully publish using 2003. I worked with a Microsoft specialist for over 2 weeks and we could not get the software to work properly. For me, Publisher 2003 is useless. I have gone back to using the old version and have absolutely no problems publishing my webpage to the internet.




5 stars (User-friendly, great for everyone-even beginners!) - I have been using Publisher (in its various incarnations) for several years now. One thing that I really like about this particular version is that you can edit a text box in Word. This sounds very complex, but it makes life very easy when you need to use a list with bullets, and can't get the spacing to work in just Publisher. That feature is a really nice addition.



Even though I usually create my own greeting cards, I really like the quick layouts. When I'm crunched for time, Publisher 2003 makes it very easy to print the right card and make it your own. As far as graphics go, you have access to a huge collection of graphics from the Office clip art website. I have found graphics for every occassion, and then some!



Above all, Publisher 2003 is quite easy to use. The program offers a good "help" section with tips, suggestions and solutions to your questions.
