Microsoft Publisher, a very useful piece of software.

For anyone who produces newsletters, invitations or greetings cards, perhaps a restaurant or cafe who produces menu's, this is fantastic.

Being a Microsoft piece of software means that all of the commands , keys and theory you will have already learnt from Word and Excel all applies in Publisher, which means that if you have used Word and Excel, you can open this up and use it to about 90% of it's capability straight away. If you have never used Word or Excel then a) what planet have you been on!? b)you will pick it up very quickly, and be able to transfer that knowledge to other software application in the Microsoft family.

Anyway, Publisher, it's great. The easiest way to start off is with a pre-produced template, let's say for a newsletter. There are dozens of styles to choose from, each one then having dozens of colour options, so within a minute, you can have a design which is very individual. But you can easily add logo's, photo's and of course text by you of the buttons down the left of the screen, adjusting text sizes is easy. One great function is "go to next frame". When you have your layout on screen, lets say you have 2 columns to write your article in, side by side. When you get typing, and the text gets to the bottom of box 1, it automatically flows to box 2. You can adjust the size of both boxes, and the text flows between them, making editing space incredibly easy.

As you can tell, my review here is as a novice user. I use it to produce my company newsletter, whish is pretty basic, but it looks very impressive !.The only problem, when you have your document, all typed up, you can still change the format and style, but this can muck up the whole thing, by adjusting text sizes so that text goes out of boxes etc. so simply, make sure you have the settings you want first, then type. as easy as that !
