I love its templates and graphics. > > **Cons**: I couldn't find any as of now. It fufill all my the requirements . ----- ### "Great Publisher for most businesses" — 4.0/5 > **Mike** | *January 27, 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can jump right into using Publisher with little learning curve. This is in contrast to InDesign or Affinity that requires a bigger learning curve. Does everything most businesses would ever need. > > **Cons**: There are very few cons but one would be that it is not a collaborative document. > > I have tried to switch to other new Publishing platforms and I always end up coming back to Publisher. ----- ### "MS-Publisher Review" — 3.0/5 > **Caroline** | *September 1, 2024* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very simple to use, especially for those new to graphic design. > > **Cons**: It is too simple, with limited graphic design tools. > > I used to use it when I was new to graphic design. I still use it when introducing interns to graphic design. It is really simple and easy to use if you want to layout a simple publication. ----- ### "Excellent Design Program for Newbies" — 4.0/5 > **Ashley** | *June 7, 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Publisher is an excellent tool for creative assignments. It had all of the functions that I needed. The software was easy to learn, thus making it great for beginners. > > **Cons**: I used Microsoft Publisher in my daily work for over 10 years. I recently switched to an Apple computer, but Publisher was not available for Mac. I was disappointed because I used Publisher more than any other software by far\! > > I would highly recommend Publisher for its available features and ease of use. ----- ### "app for design of pages, magazines, etc." — 4.0/5 > **Maycol** | *May 10, 2023* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I feel that it is a very complete app for newspaper/magazine style editing work, as well as being easy to use. > > **Cons**: It is a bit expensive, as usual in office packages. > > I used it for various school work on a magazine and the production of a newspaper. It made it very easy for me to edit the pages, so I could give it the style I wanted. It is a bit complex if used "professionally", but if you understand the basics of the app you can do a lot of things. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2057948/microsoft-publisher?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2057948/microsoft-publisher) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
