Getting to know PublisherPublisher offers templates and other tools to help you create a variety of publications, including brochures, newsletters, business cards, and menus.

Advantage One of the advantages of Publisher is that it offers more control over certain aspects of your publication. For instance, Publisher offers a work environment that makes it easy to work with documents in a variety of sizes and shapes. It also has a larger variety of tools to help you arrange and align text, images, and other objects within the page margins.

Disadvantage However, while Publisher does have certain advantages, it also has the disadvantage of being the least developed program in the Office 2007 suite. It does not include the theme colors, advanced image editing tools, or many of the other new features present in Word and PowerPoint 2010.
