I just finished an article for Ministry Tech magazine (if you haven't signed up for the FREE subscription to it, CLICK HERE) and as part of that article talked about how and why years ago I switched from using primarily Adobe PageMaker to MS Publisher to teach and equip church communicators.
As part of that explanation I mentioned an e-book I created years ago to illustrate all you can do with MS Publisher and how in many ways it can equal the design capabilities of far more expensive graphic design and layout programs. I wanted to share the e-book and you can download it by clicking here or on the image at the start of this article.
Some of the material in the book is a little out-dated, as Publisher has continued to improve, but it is still a useful reminder of how flexible and useful this program is for church communicators.
Below is a copy of the page where I redid in MS Publisher an advertisement Adobe PageMaker was using at the time to show how great it was. I was so sick of 
hearing this that one night when I was traveling and teaching seminars I spent about and hour and a half in my hotel room recreating the ad. The downloaded book allows you to see it better but here is a screen shot of the result:
