Microsoft Publisher vs. Other HTML Programs

1. Microsoft Publisher will allow you save in html BUT you are not able to open it back up to make changes. Hello!

2. Publisher does not allow users to create a web site without a template.

3. I like how Publisher allows users to create a link that is your bookmarks.

4. Publisher does allow the user to put neat graphics onto the page a bit easier.

5. You are able to use the buttons and text boxes like you do to other programs.

6. Some programs do not allow users to put WordArt onto the web pages like Publisher does, are able in Microsoft Word though but not FrontPage 2000.

7. The tabbing is hard especially when you are trying to have a multiple tabbing list.

8. Publisher does allow the user to scan a picture in directly to the web page that is under construction.

9. No special components like hit counter, scrolling marquee, and banners.

10. You cannot easily make a link for another site into a new window.

11. I could not find a way to do frames of any sort.

12. Some other HTML programs will not allow the user to rotate pictures to a degree like Publisher can. The other programs can only allow the user to rotate 90-degree increments.
