Target Future Products

Microsoft Publisher 2003

Product Description

Microsoft Publisher (full name Microsoft Office Publisher) is a desktop publishing application from Microsoft. It is often considered to be an entry-level desktop publishing application, and to provide superior control over page elements to Microsoft Word but inferior to page layout programs such as Adobe Systems' InDesign and Quark, Inc.'s QuarkXPress. Publisher 2003 is bundled with Microsoft Office 2003 Small Business and Professional Editions. This reflects Microsoft's emphasis on Publisher as an easy to use and less expensive alternative to the "heavyweights" and also its focus on the small business market where firms do not have dedicated design professionals available to make marketing materials and other documents.
