Microsoft Publisher 2003 [OLD VERSION]

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 Web site wizards, such as the Easy Web Site Builder, and e-mail wizards, like the e-mail newsletter. 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; and send a single page in an e-mail message or the entire publication as an attachment.

• 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. You can insert empty picture frames as placeholders before you've selected final imagery for your publication.
• Expand your collection of content by downloading templates from Templates on Microsoft Office Online. Organize and access them in the Templates category of the New Publication task pane. Learn more about Office Online.

• 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.

• Use new categories from the New Publication task pane. Choose to 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 a publication. Choose color schemes, font schemes, layout options, and design, and then customize the publication with your own text and graphics.
