Pros: Can find no redeeming grace for this product for anything other than amateur use!
Cons: It's a total waste of time to use Publisher to create a web site!
Summary: After many hours of working on a web site with Publisher, I finally - after multiple attempts - got it to upload to the web. Unfortunately, the hyperlinks created automatically in the nav bars by Publisher are so screwed up, my site is useless. This is ... read more

Pros: Easy to use, lots of wizards, Good integration with MS Office
Cons: Doesn't make the best web pages, tricky printing, pricey in comparison
Summary: I first started using this software when Publisher 97 came out. The 2000 release is an improvement, but for what it does, I think you can do better. You don't have to be a power user to benefit from this software, but if you are a Microsoft Word power ... read more

Pros: PUBLISHER 2000 can give you great and successful web sites.
Cons: PUBLISHER 2000 is not meant to replace lack of taste or brains.
Summary: You read right. PUBLISHER 2000 can do a lot more than just what the wizards offer you to do. Wizards are excellent; but still, they are meant to give you an idea on how much you can achieve and how to achieve it.
A heck of a good ... read more

Pros: CYMK formatted images can be used
Cons: Knowledge of the shortcut keys is essential
Summary: I purchased MS Publisher a couple of years ago when I was asked to design a test pamphlet for a small business. The program was quick to get into, however to do in-depth design work I kept having to look in the owners manual for instructions.

Pros: Ease of use
Cons: Prejudice
Summary: I know, I also like to bash Microsoft. I do it frequently as part of my computer consulting work. My line is simple: If Microsoft put out good software without bugs, then nobody would need my services.
Well, Publisher is different from many ... read more
