Microsoft Publisher goes beyond making desktop publishing easy to learn and use by automating the design process itself. From PageWizard™ assistants that step users through creating the most common publications to Tippages that provide hints about more efficient ways to work, Publisher gives people help during every aspect of the design process.

1. Publisher’s 20 PageWizard design assistants automatically create newsletters, flyers, brochures, forms, letterhead, signs, business cards, greeting cards and invitations, calendars, envelopes, banners, labels, resumes, and even specialty items such as menus, posters, bookmarks, origami, and paper airplanes! Publisher’s task-based approach presents users with step-by-step options for designing publications such as newsletters, brochures, and flyers. All users need to do to finish the publication is add their own words.
