Microsoft Publisher is an entry-level graphic design program included in some versions of Microsoft Office. It is considered ideal for small business because it is user friendly and does not demand prior knowledge about the application or graphic design in general. Publisher includes templates for many types of common business needs, such as business cards, brochures, address labels and calendars. Microsoft offers the options to directly mail the file, export it as another file type or upload it to the cloud and publish online.

Export is another great feature and as this is a publishing app saves your publication as a compressed file and as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.

• You can create a PDF/XPS that preserves fonts, formatting and images without changing content and is available on the web with free viewers.
• Publish to HTML
• Instantly change the file type ie earlier version, PDF, template and a number of image file types.
• Pack and Go gathers all of the images, fonts, colors and anything else included in your publication, and compresses and packages it together for you to take to a commercial printer or to move the publication file to another computer.
