Review by Robert Herschede

If you are a beginner at desktop publishing, or just want to put a personal touch on your calendars and other documents, Microsoft Publisher 2002 is the right choice for you! You will find that it is easy to get started using Publisher, because Microsoft has given you a plethora of templates around almost any type of document you could want. These templates are fully customizable, however so you will not need to worry about being stuck with one look. I prefer Adobe InDesign, however, because I have more flexibility and power to design the document I want. Honestly, I only use Publisher because an organization I am with has decided to use that. If I were new to publishing, however, I would find InDesign overly complicated and prefer the simplicity of Publisher. Don’t get me wrong, just because Publisher is not as powerful, doesn’t mean you can’t create nice looking documents… If you are experienced, go to Adobe. If not, Publisher is right for you!
