Then there's, where you can subscribe to view a whole collection of software tutorials for both Mac and PC, including Publisher.PUBLISH-iT lets you create newletters, brochures, flyers, reports, ads, and almost any other publications. Since Publisher does not produce a comprehensive manual, even online, if you're the type of person who likes to follow directions, you can go onto YouTube and choose from several how-to videos on Publisher, including detailed video series. You can right click with each object (text or graphic) to find out what options show up there. Alternatively, you can open a blank page and experiment with all the different tools/icons on the sidebar or ribbons above (depending on your version of Publisher), or from the menus on the top of the page. If you are an experimenter, there are tons of templates to open and modify in Publisher to see how they work and to find out what tools there are for changing text, colors, backgrounds, shapes, etc.

You can also watch video tutorials, go onto forums and ask questions, or purchase a manual written by a third party. My favorite, because of the type of learner I am, is experimentation. There are four ways to learn to use this software.

  • Uses some of the basic commands of MS Office, so if you don't have Office installed, Publisher will not work well.
  • #DESKTOP PUBLISHING SOFTWARE FOR MAC 2015 PDF#

    This is easily solved by breaking your document into sections, then joining them together when you create an output PDF file, as mentioned above. Anything longer and it starts to hang up.

  • Maximum document size is around 90 pages.
  • This never bothered me, but some people like to put them in the middle of the page (like in textbooks).
  • Automatic page numbers can only be set up in headers or footers.
  • This feature is not automated in Publisher - at least it wasn't when I last used it in 2010.
  • You will need to manually create a Table of Contents, if you need one.
  • The best way to learn Publisher is to experiment with a template, learn from someone else in person, watch a tutorial and experiment from there, or purchase a manual written by a third party.
  • According to some reviewers, it has lousy help support.
  • I only occasionally imported from another software, which was easy to do with text, but not so easy with a formatted page. For me, this was never a problem, since I developed the entirety of all my documents in Publisher.
  • Publisher does not import formats easily from Word.
  • We did this several times with 100+ page contract proposals.
  • You can also split a really long document into a few smaller documents, and join those together when creating the final PDF.
  • Then you can join them together when creating the final PDF document for printing or emailing. This lets you work on the text document without taking a lot of space and time uploading.
  • When your cover page has graphics with a lot of pixels, you can create it as a separate document from the text.
  • You can view your pages on the sidebar, which helps you remember what's on which page when you are inserting new graphics or text blocks.
  • When a document is set up right, it's easy to move pages to a different part of the document, or add or delete pages anywhere in the document.
  • You can create a long document in sections (like chapters), such that text flows automatically from page to page within the section only.
  • Navigation between pages is easy, with a tab for each page that you can entitle.
  • It's easy to align graphics and text boxes, or put text boxes within text boxes (like with quotes) and make text flow around them.
  • You can place a too large graphic in a small box and easily size the photo to the box, or resize the box to fit the photo without enlarging it manually.
  • When the new section moves the existing text down, you'll want this photo to move down too. Then you decide to add another section above it.

    Let's say you insert this photo next to a paragraph describing how to dispose of old toilets.
