Is There A Publisher Already On Software For Windows
Is There A Publisher Already On Professional Publisher Theres

I run bootcamp like Gary because I can never get documents that consistently look as good as they do on Publisher.

Unfortunately the answer is no, there has never been a Macintosh version of publisher, and this article tries to explain why, and what the options are.

Is There A Publisher Already On Software For Windows

Microsoft Publisher is a very popular piece of software for Windows computers.

It fills of a gap on Windows computers because Microsoft Office does not have the capability to do page layout like Apple Pages does.

As you think about more alternatives to Microsoft publisher for a window computer, Adobe PageMaker and InDesign are too expensive and complex for most everyday users.

So when people want to do a simple newsletter, but one thats too complicated for Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher fills the gap nicely.

Microsoft Word documents tend to look pretty bland whereas publisher allows you to spruce them up a bit.

Microsoft publisher fills a gap on Windows computers that does not exist in OSX Now lets think about the Macintosh computer, there is no such gap.

Apple Pages can do pretty much everything Publisher can do So a Macintosh user has no need for Microsoft Publisher.

Is There A Publisher Already On Professional Publisher Theres

Apple Pages can produce some quite spectacular documents very simply, and unless you are a professional publisher theres really not the need to step up to PageMaker or InDesign.

This does not really leave a market for Microsoft Publisher on the Macintosh computer, except for Macintosh users to be able to read a publisher document that was created on a PC So while this would be a nice convenience for Macintosh users, I dont imagine it is a large market for Microsoft Publisher.

Microsoft Word is a professional word-processing application that in many ways is superior to Apple pages, and was superior to Apple works and Claris Works.

If you are writing large or complex documents there is and always has been a huge market for Microsoft Word on the Apple Computer.

If you are waiting for a version of Microsoft Publisher to appear for Macintosh computer, I would not be holding your breath.

They havent quite nailed it because there are quite often formatting issues ( its a bit like trying to open a complex Word document in Pages) but most of the time you can see whats in the document and grab the parts that you need.

The other option is to use one of these solutions I have described in this article.

This will give you a PDF version of the Microsoft Publisher document that retains all its original formatting.

You cant really do anything with the PDF version unless you own Adobe Pagemaker, but you will be able to accurately view and print the Microsoft publisher document.

Its more a utility of neither Publisher or Pages being able to be used on the other operating system that has been the issue for us.
