Keeping in touch and
communicating with customers is essential for any business. A
complete business publishing and marketing materials solution,
Publisher 2003 can help you reach out to customers. With
Publisher 2003, it's easier than ever to design, create, and
publish professional marketing and communication materials
in-house.
Publisher 2003 is a comprehensive solution for creating and
publishing a wide variety of publications for desktop printing,
commercial printing, e-mail distribution, or viewing on the Web.
- Create a comprehensive selection of business publications
using new wizards, such as the Easy Web Site Builder and the
E-Mail Newsletter wizard. Or, create print publications,
including brochures, newsletters, postcards, CD or DVD labels,
and other publications.
- Create personal publications using an expanded collection of
templates, including personal stationery sets and professionally
designed greeting cards and invitations.
- Automatically create a publication that merges pictures and
text from a data source (like Microsoft Excel or Microsoft
Access) using Catalog Merge to create publications ranging from
a datasheet to a sophisticated catalog.
- Work more flexibly with commercial printers for higher quality
and larger quantity print jobs, with new support for
process-color - or cyan-magenta-yellow-black (CMYK) - composite
postscript files.
- Make the most of the time you invest in your work by
publishing a single publication in multiple ways: Print it to
your desktop printer; take it to a commercial printer; save it
to the Web; or send a single page in an e-mail message or the
entire publication as an attachment.
Publisher 2003 provides all the help you need for professional
results. Start from professionally designed templates that you
can customize with color schemes, font schemes, various layout
options, and your own design sense. Or, start from blank
publications and get creative with sophisticated typography and
page layout tools.
- Promote a consistent identity across all your business
communication materials when you select from 10 new Master
Design Sets (for a total of 45). Master Design Sets are
collections of commonly used business publication templates
(including newsletters, postcards, flyers, Web sites, e-mail
announcements, and other publications), each with its own
design.
- Identify unintended printing and Web site problems and get
help fixing them using the enhanced Design Checker.
- Enjoy increased control over your publication with improved
Layout Guides, Baseline Alignment and Baseline Guides, the Page
Sorter, and support for multiple Master Pages.
- Benefit from increased flexibility during the planning and
layout phase. Insert empty picture frames as placeholders before
selecting final imagery for your publication.
- Expand your collection of content by downloading Templates on
Office Online. Organize and access them in the Templates
category of the New Publication task pane.
Work productively across Microsoft Office System programs.
Publisher 2003 looks and works like other programs in the
Microsoft Office System, making it easier than ever to use the
right Office tool for the task, while still making the most of
your knowledge and experience with the Microsoft Office System.
Its features include:
- Paragraph-formatting consistency with Microsoft Office Word
2003, including indents and spacing, and line and paragraph
breaks.
- A new Bullets and Numbering dialog box.
- The ability to find and replace text across stories and text
boxes.
- Backward compatibility so you can open Publisher 2003 files in
Publisher 2002 and share your files more easily.
Getting started is easier than ever with the simplified Start
screen in Publisher 2003.
- Use new categories from the New Publication task pane. Start
your design by publication type (for print, e-mail, or the Web),
by a specific Design Set, or from a blank publication.
- Use the Quick Publication Options task pane to customize your
publication. Choose color schemes, font schemes, layout options,
and a design, and then customize the publication with your own
text and graphics.
