![]() As I mentioned in my previous post, if you are printing things at home or the office, Word will work fine, just like Microsoft Publisher. They are both excellent products.Īs RickyB mentioned, you can use Microsoft Word but I would avoid it if you are making catalogs or brochures. See for yourself which one fits your style. I would recommend that if you are seriously considering InDesign or Quark Xpress, download them both and give them a try. Other people avoid InDesign for those same reasons (some people actually dislike and don't trust Adobe, much like lots of people dislike and don't trust Microsoft). For some people, they like the fact that InDesign comes with Adobe's CS collection and they are used to Adobe's interface (and InDesign plays well with other Adobe products). Which one is better? Only you can decide which tool is the best for you. They both allow you to produce nice, printer friendly layouts (that can actually be printed or exported as a PDF). Sure there are some minor differences but in the end, they both are designed to do the same thing. I have spent vast amounts of time trying to reconstruct pages in InDesign/Xpress because Publisher just isn't a professional layout application (it can't print separations).įor me there isn't much difference between Quark Xpress and Adobe InDesign. I have received Publisher files at a commercial printer and believe me, they are a nightmare. If you are planning on having something printed commercially, then you should step up to a more robust and commercial printer friendly application such as InDesign or Quark Xpress. I would go for Pages but if you "have to" have your old Publisher files, you could always resort to using Parrarels or VMware's Fusion, and then run Publisher inside of a virtual environment. You didn't say what you were using Publisher for? Do you only make fliers for yourself or to printout for your office? If you are using it to make fliers and things that you are going to print on a home printer, you will be fine using Publisher or a similar tool (such as Apple's Pages). Isn't this in the wrong thread? Shouldn't it be in Graphics or at least in Software? ![]()
