Publisher's future?

[Brian Kvalheim - [MS MVP]]

Hi RichardS. ([email protected]),

you posted:

|| 1) What do the big boys have mostly (InDesign and Quark)
|| that makes them stand out from Publisher (no funny remarks
|| here)?

Two completely different products.

|| 2) Do you think MSPublisher will ever be able to play with
|| the big boys?

No. And they don't want to.

|| 3) I'm fairly well adept w/Publisher to have created a
|| newsletter business w/pretty good success. I'm not
|| intimidated by Quark or InDesign, but not interested in
|| the long learning curve. So, I'm wondering if it's worth
|| waiting for a more sophisticated version or if what the
|| others offer are qualities that I'll never need anyway.

Publisher will continue to add features, but it will not match the abilities
of the products you mention.

|| Any and all opinions would be appreciated. I respect your
|| responses and enjoy this group.

The future looks great for Publisher. Each version continues to improve year
after year.

[kenandana]

would you use serif for web design as opposed to publisher?
having gone through all versions of publisher to 2000, I am now finding it a bit limited, due to all the search engine algorithm changes.
Before, November 16th, I could design my website in publisher and just leave all alone and I was ranked at position 3 or 4, but since the changes I need to optimise a great deal to keep up with everything.
I am thinking of trying serif 9, and when I saw you mention it, I wondered if you have used it for web design, I would value any imput you are able to give.

I would recommend jumping to FrontPage for your web design. FrontPage is far
superior for your needs compared to Publisher and Serif PP for web design.

Serif has a forum (as well as NGs) where you can ask specific questions
about PP's capabilities, as well as WebPlus -
http://www.serif.com/forum/default.asp

I don't do web pages but most of the comments about its features seem to
be positive.

There will be a new version of Serif WebPlus 9.0 in the not to distant future which will have a large range of awesome new features.

I gave up using Publisher for web work a while ago.

I heard Dreamweaver had fallen off the rocks a bit. Is that factual. I
don't use it so have no idea.

many thanks for all your imput, I just feel more than a little sad having to
leave a product after using it for so many years, when it only came on
"floppies" as well as having to relearn another piece of software.
Is frontpage as easy to use, or is it purely html?

Many like myself do not like FrontPage.
