Microsoft provides all the tools and features you need to publish your work through Microsoft Word. Microsoft Publisher also comes free with Windows and requires no additional software to be installed. This program allows you to create digital publications such as booklets, manuals, brochures and catalogs all in Microsoft Word compatible fonts and styles.
Microsoft Publisher is basically a desktop publishing tool from Microsoft, different from Microsoft Word in the sense that the emphasis is put on visual design and page layout instead of proofing and actual text writing.
