Microsoft publisher is a very handy piece of software for creating items such as leaflets, posters and other such documents. It allow you to use many templates and reset styles making life so much easier than doing it all from scratch.
The Layout... The layout of publisher is now very similar to how it was previously and is the only one of the four main office programmes in the office 2007 range to remain virtually unchanged with regards to its layout. The first menu has changed somewhat and as apposed to a double click to start modifying and creating a document from a preset template you now have to click a small button that says create, a feature that took me some time to get my head around as there is nothing to tell you how it works making life extraordinaily dificult if you are used to how that menu was before. There is also now an option to have more pages than before too, and the menu of things to create is pretty much the same. The main and most noticable change is the coloured background but this looks quite nice and does not affect the usage of the programme
New Features... There are not really any new features to the 2007 version that the 2003 version did not have, which although it is a let down it makes life relatively simple.
Installation... Installing the product is incredibly simple but beware, you need time on your side as it takes a very long time. The loading time is also a problem when you start it up after installation. The installation is poor in this respect but otherwise not too bad.
Pricewise... Microsoft word is included in the lowest edition of office 2007 which costs around £100, however for other more advanced versions with more programmes on it it can cost up to several hundred. This really is just an additional cost for an unnecessary product.
Reccomendations... The programme is good and much better than the equivelent programme on microsoft works, and therefore I would reccomend purchase of this programme for home use and business use, if itu is appropriate for use. I do question however, wether for home use it is worth purchasing as it has to be purchased with the other microsoft office programmes and can be costly. I can not really sway you one way or the other but will say that if you want it in the home and won't use it very often and other office prorammes aren't required try to make do with the equivelent programme and templates on microsoft works.
I hope you found this review helpful and if you require any more information please leave me a comment and I will update the review accordingly. Thanks.
