Microsoft Publisher is an editor and layout tool for printed and digital publications that’s part of the Microsoft Office productivity suite.
With Microsoft Publisher you can create, edit, customize and share all sorts of marketing material with ease of use and professional results. From simple greeting cards to more elaborate newsletters, Microsoft Publisher includes everything you need for your work.
One of the most outstanding elements in Microsoft Publisher is the amount of templates it includes to get you started; you’ll find one for almost anything: brochures, business cards, calendars, labels, flyers, award certificates and more. Besides this material, Microsoft Publisher also lets you work with images, clipart and predefined shapes.
The text and image tools included in Microsoft Publisher make document layout easier and more creative. You can see results in real time as you change text fonts and apply new colors. And once the document is finished, Microsoft Publisher gives you a wide range of options to save or export it, such as PDF or JPG. On the downside, the program still lacks support for InDesign and QuarkXpress documents.

"MS Publisher is a pain"
While publisher produced quite good results it has several major defects including usability. 1:The templates are in US 'English' and you have to change the language in each text box to your language individually. 2: Thre is no 'drag & drop' facility to allow you to change the order of stories. 3: It is very difficult to extend the size of a story box 4: There are no fields such as Page Number and cross reference that exist in word
