![]() ![]() That's not to say it's a bad app, but only the most die-hard of Microsoft Office users would consider it over the competition.Īs part of an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft Publisher makes a lot more sense, but it remains a second-string program that's hard to find even on the Microsoft Office website. ![]() In fact, you could get the whole Affinity suite of three apps for just $10 more than Microsoft Publisher. If you're a Microsoft Office 365 subscriber, the chances are you've got Microsoft Publisher already. It is possible to buy it directly, but at $140 you need a very good reason to buy it over Affinity Publisher ($50). The program also seems to be outside of the integrated Office help system, saddled instead with an old-fashioned system that takes two clicks - one on the Help menu header, then a second Help button on the ribbon - to even access. What's missing from Microsoft Publisher, but present in other Office apps, are things like mobile or web apps for viewing documents, or OneDrive collaboration between multiple users. ![]() Publisher serves a niche for documents that are too complex for Word, but don't require their designer to sign up for an InDesign subscription. And while it's certainly possible to create an image-rich document in Word, you'll have a better time in Publisher, and may end up with a better result too. Professional features such as text running around artwork, or the use of Pantone and CMYK colors, are neatly integrated.
