History of Microsoft Publisher

HISTORY OF MICROSOFT PUBLISHER
Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing program designed by Microsoft. The

program is included in the most complete versions of the Microsoft Office suite.
Editorial works on a system of design templates that allows users to easily create a
variety of projects, some of which include personal diaries, calendars, greeting
cards, newsletters and brochures of all kinds. Publisher is a low-end, but powerful
desktop publishing tool more geared toward the home user than the professional.
HISTORY
Microsoft released the first version of Publisher in 1991. Adobe's PageMaker came
out in 1985, securing its position as a leader in the field long before Publisher.
The beginnings go back to the 90s of Microsoft Office Publisher, the date when the
first version of this application was published, which was a great implementation
within the range of products offered by the company. Its launch was quite complete
for those times. It would take two more years for a new edition to be launched on
the market. Likewise, new versions emerged, including Publisher 3.0, 97, 98, 2000
and 2002. In 2003, a new challenge was posed: the software would be renamed
from Microsoft Publisher to Microsoft Office Publisher. Along with this new and
innovative changes would be implemented. For the new name, Microsoft Office
Publisher 2003 and 2007 have already appeared. In this new stage, it is postulated
as an important competition for programs such as Adobe In Design and Quark
Xpress, given the number of options to work with, resembling these two.
However, recent versions of the product have greater capability in relation to

separation and processing of various (levels of) colors. Microsoft Publisher 2007
also includes the ability to export files in PDF format, with the possibility of
including or embedding one's own fonts within them (thus guaranteeing their
faithful reproduction on computers that do not have too many fonts installed,
particularly those that are not so popular).
Publisher is included among the high-end of Microsoft Office programs. This
reflects Microsoft's emphasis on positioning its product as a relatively cheap
alternative to the two industry heavyweights. It is also focused on the small
business market, which usually does not have professionals specifically dedicated
to the design and layout of pages and documents.
CHARACTERISTICS
Microsoft Publisher is a powerful desktop publishing tool that allows users to create
almost any publishing project, either from scratch or from one of the hundreds of
available templates. The program includes text editing and layout tools, graphic
effects tools, and easy-to-use layout features found in most desktop software, but
XML storyboard editing is not supported.
