Word or Publisher?: Use Crabby's Special Recipe to Decide

Tags:
business management

Overview Both Word and Publisher are suitable for even the beginner computer user, and both are pretty flexible when it comes to creating, well, just about anything (except for a database, a spreadsheet, or a few other things). Both can utilize text, images, and various complicated types of formatting. For someone who wants to create a business card can do it in either program. For those who want to create a newsletter, the same rule holds true: Either program can handle the job. In fact, there is a whole list of tasks that either program can handle quite nicely. However, one of these programs is better when dealing with a lot of graphics and one is better for legal documents and more text-intensive projects.
