Microsoft Publisher Pros and Cons

Our team likes irregular cropping, good control on layers in this software. We are using it in marketing department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most important feature which is absent in Microsoft publisher is that we don't have any control on size of file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really like the templates that are provided. Calendars have been very handy, business cards are useful, posters and fliers are good and I have even used the Resume in a pinch plus various other things I could do some editing to to make it my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trying to transfer to other Microsoft programs is glitchy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Publisher to write three newsletters, make flyers, create teaching journals, and so much more. I appreciate that a photo stays where I place it, that I can wrap words into columns and on to additional pages with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that Publisher is being DISCONTINUED. At least we have leadtime to find an alternative, but I am sorely diappointed at the efforts I must now take to convert legacy documents and the learning curve for a new product after over 20 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can easily add images and text without messing up the whole document - its way easier to use than word for flyers, brochures etc. I use it for everything- including converting images to pdf and vice versa. It is so easy to use and implement anyone can do it from a beginner to a computer whiz. If you have any trouble you can always contact customer support. Publisher integrates with Adobe well. I use this app daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I do not like about Publisher- it is my favorite microsoft product out of all of their apps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about MS Publisher is that it has a loads of selections for the user to choose from. From the sizes to different templates available offline. It also gives ease of access when it comes to integration of other applications such Excel which has a complex program. The features and functions are easy to understand and use as well.

What I dislike about MS Publisher is that it is solely available in Microsoft Windows operating system. I have received a lot of inquiry back when I work for Microsoft; where is MS Publisher for MacOS. Which is a bummer, since other companies do wanted to use it but has limited access to it.

I have used Publisher for years, however, since the uptick of Zoom meetings and presentation, Publisher has become an incredible tool. My main love for it is the slideshows. I can put together a presentation on writing, for instance, and as I am sharing my Zoom screen, I can easily scroll from page to page. While a .pdf can also do the same thing, Publisher offers amazing design features, along with being able to embed video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything I dislike about Microsoft Publisher. I find it very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is more cheaper than InDesign. It is user-friendly although there are still some room for additional features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The process of arranging layouts are not too accurate. The program interface can improve for more access to the necessary tools. The elements are also limited and navigating through the program is kind of a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The publisher is especially useful when we need to create a quick and simple project where we focus on practical solutions. The product contains a lot of ready-made templates and elements to use. Integration with Office365 makes sharing or printing projects very effective and safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently, Publisher is starting to lose its distance from the competition and is slightly left behind. It offers fewer attractive visualizations or unique solutions, e.g. those generated using AI, relying instead on proven templates. The graphical interface is also unattractive compared to Canva, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a simple and plain interface. User friendly. It is easily ready to use thanks to its very flexible and ready-made templates. It has a flexible structure that guides you. You can make objects such as business cards, marketing documents, brochures quickly and easily.It makes all your processes faster and easier. You will get more Professional processes.

More plugins can be added. The template library can be upgraded or kept ready in the system. Much more flexible shortcuts can be added to the interface. Of course, these explanations are not shortcomings, but user-based requests to make them more customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the best is that it can be manipalted as part of the office suite and it has the same or similar shortcuts that the most common software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is not a dislike, this is more like a way to see that something is missing, As I see it Publisher could be one of the best software out in the market , but it needs more tools and more promotion, I can bet that there are some daylly computer users that don't know about it or don't know what is for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
