Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Office Publisher 2003 is a desktop publishing package, designed to enable non-professionals to put together publications that look good. Typical uses are for greetings cards, newsletters, advertisements, invitations and leaflets. Part of the Office 2003 family, Publisher 2003 shares a common look and feel with applications such as Word and Excel.
One of the best things in Office Publisher 2003 is its huge range of pre-built designs. There is a fantastic range, the quality is good, and you can apply one of numerous colour scheme or font schemes to add variety. Overall there is a reasonable chance your Publisher design will not be exactly the same as the one from your friend or colleague. Office Publisher 2003 also gives access to an extensive clip-art library, both on CD and online. That means you do not have to be artistic or have design skills, although if you are that way inclined you can start with a blank publication and create your own design. The interface is elegant and easy to use, and a powerful set of tools is on offer. The 2003 version resolves a long-standing Publisher problem, in that you can now justify multiple columns vertically as well as horizontally. There is also better support for commercial printing, including separations and composite CMYK Postscript output.
Office Publisher 2003 is a superb package, but it is best suited for short documents such as leaflets and advertisements, rather than long documents such as books and manuals. There's no support for indexes, cross-references or tables of contents. Office Publisher 2003 can also be used to create websites, sometimes with good results, but as a Web tool it's inflexible. Within its true target area though, Office Publisher 2003 is brilliant. --Tim Anderson

I really don't hate Microsoft. I work on Windows all the time. At work, I always use Office 2003. Excel is a wonderful tool (though OpenOffice Calc is just as good).
So when I say that Publisher is poor, I hope you realise I'm not your typical Bill Gates basher. But Microsoft have never really got it together with easy-to-use DTPs. Publisher is awkward and counter-intuitive.
Two alternative products are to be preferred. For those who want an easy package, with lots of pre-written templates, get Serif's PagePlus 11. It costs less than Publisher, and does a whole lot more.
An even better product - but you have to make all your own templates - is the open source Scribus.

I use Publisher alot in my teaching as it is very simple to use by those new to PC's. Lots of templates to choose from if you want to do DTP "painting by numbers" and lot of familiar goodies like WordArt etc. It is even nice to use when starting with a blank page if all you want to do is produce simple posters, flyers etc.
However, try to do anything approaching serious DTP layout and Publisher is an awful pain. There is no layering to make it easy to work with overlaping images and only very basic tools for the creation of multi-page documents. In fact it does nothing that can't be done in Word with a little practice. Also, at £130 it is very expensive for such a basic application. My advice is check out other packages particulaly those from Serif (available from amazon)

AFter taking a couple of hours to print a birthday card (and still not done successfully), I have had no end of problems from not printing in the right order, to not being able to select the right paper size in Publisher (can in printer dialog, but that messes up the printing). My only reconmnedation is look else where, if you could get Scribus for Windows I would reconmend this.

Very good buy
Publisher 2003 is far more advanced than the 2002 version. It has a brand new start screen and lots more templates.
