Is it worth buying Microsoft Publisher?

Answer by  Turkwork (1150)

I own microsoft publisher. It is a very good publishing program. I got it by accident when I purchased Microsoft Office 2007 Professional. It has excellent capabilities with a nice clip art library and lot's of creative options for making fliers, business cards, posters, or any project you want to add graphics to.

No. Open Office is a free, open source replacement for all MS Office programs, including Publisher. The interfaces are familiar, almost exactly replicating the ones in MS Office.
