Create visually compelling publications
Publisher 2010 provides a broad range of new and improved tools that
help you look like a design genius and create content that's sure to
impress.
- Use improved picture-editing tools--including the ability to pan, zoom, and crop your images and picture placeholders--that make it a snap to replace images while preserving the layout of your page. Easily fine-tune every picture to help your publication look its absolute best.
- Design and reorganize pages like a pro with new object alignment technology. This technology provides visual guides to help you effortlessly align and position your content, but it always leaves the final layout up to you.
- Create dynamic publications in very little time when you insert and customize prebuilt building blocks of content, both built-in and from the Publisher community, directly from Publisher 2010. Choose from an array of page parts--such as sidebars and stories--as well as calendars, borders, advertisements, and more.
- Give your text the appearance of expert typesetting with new OpenType typography. Publisher 2010 provides support for the ligatures, stylistic sets, and other professional typography features available in many OpenType fonts. Use built-in or custom OpenType fonts to create text as impactful as images with just a couple of clicks.1
- The extraordinary new integrated print experience in Publisher 2010 enables you to view a full-page print preview with a host of page layout tools and adjustable print settings. The new print experience is just one of many features available from the new Microsoft Office Backstage view. Backstage view replaces the traditional File menu to provide a centralized, organized space for all of your publication management tasks.
- The improved, customizable Ribbon is now available in Publisher to make easily accessible the commands you need most. Create custom tabs or even customize built-in tabs. With Publisher 2010, you're in control.
- Compile, edit, and manage your customer or contacts list directly in Publisher, using the easy and efficient Mailings tab on the Publisher 2010 Ribbon.
- Access the Design Checker from the new Backstage view to automatically review your publication for many common errors before you share it. Get options for fixing them quickly and easily. Then, return to Backstage view when the publication is ready to go and save it to whatever format you need for easy sharing--from PDF or XPS to a range of image formats, such as JPEG or PNG.

The Best and Easiset to Use Desktop Publishing Program Gets Even Better
I have been using Publisher for about 10 years and have come to rely
on it, primarily for business documents such as training guides and
promotional items for my software business. I think that the 2010
Version of Publisher is a worthwhile upgrade from previous versions.
I happen to be one of the people who like the "Ribbon" interface
that was introduced in MS Word 2007 and has now been extended to
Publisher. I can easily find most common tools and features on the
ribbon and customize it as required if there is a ribbon element missing
from those I use frequently. There is a much improved "File" tab (or
"Backstage View" as MS calls it) with easier access to various printing,
saving and sending options. Unlike another review I read here, I had no
problems whatsoever printing both paper and .PDF versions of my
Publisher documents on both my Xerox and Epson printers with zero
configuration*. In fact, printing is improved as there is now top-level
control over things such as duplexing (double-siding- if your printer
supports it) without having to set a default printer for a document and
then go into the Printer Properties to select features. There is also a
great new, accurate and large print preview right next to all of the
Publisher printer controls.
Other improvements include better font previews including support
for OpenType fonts. I find that the layout tools are improved too, with
better accuracy and display of the alignment of various document
elements. There are some great new templates and more available online.
Photo/graphic editing tools are also improved, and the whole program
just seems easier to work with while it works better for me. I also find
that more web services than ever (Internet faxing and printing
services) accept the upload of Publisher documents in their native
format, without the need to export them into .PDF or other formats.
I am impressed with the 2010 version of Publisher and recommend it
as a worthwhile upgrade or as an excellent new product for desktop
publishing for everything from postcards and training manuals to
greeting cards and signs. I bought mine as part of MS Office 2010
Professional Suite as opposed to buying it as a standalone item, but I
think it's worthwhile either way.
Publisher is easily one of my favorite pieces of software (and I use
a lot of software). I wholeheartedly recommend it if you have need of a
great desktop publishing app.
*(As an aside, I sell and support a specialized piece of law
software. We have thousands of users who have no printing issues, but I
know of a handful who cannot print .PDFs with our built-in .PDF add-on,
no matter what we have tried. We usually then have them install a
different, free PDF printer software. I believe that such quirks are a
result of some corruption of the installation and/or of a corruption of
the Windows operating system. Let's face it, if the user base is many
thousands- and for a product like Publisher, many hundreds of thousands,
and a few people can't print, what do you blame- the software or the
environment it is installed into?)
Good Program
I've used Publisher for about 10 years and upgraded to 2010 from
2000. I definately recommend the upgrade to anyone using 2000. Although
I've used the program for a long time it has been for the same purpose,
writing a monthly newsletter that includes text and photographs and is
emailed in pdf format. The improvements in Publisher make my job much
easier and faster. For example, I can save my file as a pdf and
Publisher compresses files as well as the Adobe Acrobat Professional
program I was using for that purpose. The difference is Publisher is
faster. In fact, the program seems much more responsive than 2000 for
pretty much everything I do. I'm not a big fan of the "ribbon" interface
but I like using one standard interface and since I have Office 2007
this program provides that continuity. In terms of function, the ribbon
makes most things a little easier and a few things a little harder. That
said, I have 10 years with the old interface and a few weeks with the
new. I'll adjust quickly. Still the ribbon is a case of fixing something
that wasn't broke rather than fixing something that is broken. I'm
talking about the help feature which IMO isn't and has never been very
helpful.
I had no problems loading the program and no problems with printing.
I'm using Win 7 and have a fairly new computer. I ordered from Amazon. I
always seem to have a good experience with Amazon and this was no
exception. Fast delivery and produce arrived in perfect condition.
Best Publisher ever!
This is the best version of Microsoft Publisher I have ever used.
It makes it so easy to set the artwork for my business cards and
brochures in a very quick manner. I have used several desk top
publishing programs over the years, including a past version of
Publisher, but I will be using this one exclusively from now on due to
the ease of use.
