Office 2010 - Publisher

Office Publisher 2010


Microsoft Office Publisher 2010 is a Desktop Publishing software (DTP). By nature DTPs have always been very expensive and, although Microsoft’s Publisher is well known, it has to be said that it is at the low end of the market, a professional publisher is more likely to use a product like Adobe InDesign (and pay the price, Amazon has just informed me that for a mere £637.76 I can be the proud owner of InDesign CS4).

What Microsoft Office Publisher does is put high quality desktop publishing software in the hands of small businesses and ordinary people producing posters, business cards, newsletters and a countless list of other media (actually the list isn’t endless so I’ll be showing a complete list of Publisher templates later). I won’t be using a template for the example that will follow after an overview of the program.

In Office Publisher 2007, which didn’t have the Ribbon, Design Gallery Objects were/are accessible from the Insert menu, Insert > Design Gallery Object > Design Gallery. Office Publisher 2010, on the Insert Tab, has the Group Building Blocks. The categories of Building Blocks (Design Objects) are:
