Hi Deb,

Are you referring to the "Publishing Layout" in Word, or an actual separate Publisher application included with MS Office? Which version of Office do you have?

On my PC, I have MS Office which includes the application "Publisher"... This is what I used for many years and kept for the ease of it. On my (newer) Mac, I have Office 8 for Mac which does not have Publisher... although Word does have the option to work in "Publishing Layout"... and I see that it does do just about the same job as my old favorite "Publisher".

Bottom line.... I think you are correct... If I work in Word on my Mac and choose Publishing Layout, I can accomplish the same results. I just need to become familiar with how it works. I feel silly for having overlooked this option for so long... I guess because I have both the PC and the Mac on my desk, I just stuck to my old ways. Thanks for getting me to explore Word.

I am working on short tutorials for enameling techniques and metal working techniques for my students. Eventually... The plan is to post PDFs on my blog.

I just discovered how easy it is to use screen capture (am I slow or what?!) and this will be very useful for the instructions I am writing to help beginning photographers with the photos they take of their jewelry.
