"MICROSOFT PUBLISHER"

     It usually comes pre-packaged with Microsoft Office and it allows non-design professionals to make nice looking newsletters, flyers and other publications with a short learning curve. It is good for that administrative assistant tasked with creating a flyer or newsletter but desktop publishing isn’t a regular duty. It isn’t standard publishing software but it is available to someone who creates publications occasionally and it looks and behaves like all Office products. Publisher publications can be converted to PDF and most printers can work with that format. Publisher is a readily available tool to complete an assigned task. It isn’t the best tool but in the work world you have to use the tools that are available rather than the tools you want.
