Updated Publisher in Office 2003

Publisher 2003 provides entry-level desktop publishing features that make it easy for users to create marketing materials, such as business cards, brochures, product literature, and newsletters for print, e-mail, and Web site publishing. With Publisher replacing FrontPage in some editions of Office, Publisher is becoming Microsoft’s entry-level tool for Web site publishing. However, developing a Web site in Publisher means maintaining that site in Publisher throughout its life.

Improvements in Publisher 2003

Microsoft will include Publisher 2003 in several Office 2003 editions, including Office Professional Edition 2003, Professional Enterprise Edition 2003, and Small Business Edition 2003.

The ninth version of Publisher since 1991, Publisher 2003 does not contain any radically new features. Incremental improvements were made in a variety of areas, including new Master Design Sets (which ensure a consistent look and feel between publications), the ability to create publications for e-mail delivery, improved compatibility with other Office programs, and improved support for sending publications to commercial printers.
