What kinds of publications can I create in Publisher?

Publisher features pre-designed publications, also called publication wizards, for many types of business and marketing publications. Each of these pre-designed publications is available in many different designs. You can browse through the selection of pre-designed publications by publication type or by design style.

If you want to create a publication quickly, you can select the publication design that you want, add your own content and graphics, and then customize the publication's design, layout, color schemes, and font schemes.
