Microsoft Publisher 2021

Microsoft Publisher 2021 - the single program in the purchase version

Publisher 2021 is the versatile, powerful program from Microsoft for professional desktop publishing. Not only companies, but also private users, such as pupils and students, can use the software to create convincing publications of all kinds - from image editing and layout to the creation of printable templates. In addition to a comprehensive catalog of templates for flyers, brochures and even more extensive catalogs, many tools and effects are available to design and edit them according to individual ideas. Thanks to the intuitive and user-friendly user interface and a clear arrangement of the tools, even inexperienced users and beginners can quickly get started with Publisher 2021 and create print media that meet even the highest demands, but also just logos, icons and other image elements.

As in the other Office programs of the 2021 version, the ribbon look of the ribbon can be individually adapted to your own needs and thus brings a lot of clarity. MS Publisher 2021 is therefore the right partner to implement your creative ideas convincingly and skillfully.

High compatibility with various formats and programs

The layout program naturally also allows the use of the usual file formats, including .JPG and .PDF, as well as Microsoft's own .XPS and .PUB formats; the latter can even be opened with an Adobe layout program. This means that print files created with MS Publisher can also be used with other layout software, which increases the compatibility of Publisher 2021. And the HTML format is available for creating newsletters.

Publisher can also import files from other Office programs, such as Excel charts and tables or already formatted Word texts.

Finally, the practical Pack & Go assistant automatically collects and packages all files associated with a publication and required for printing (e.g. images, graphics and fonts) in a single file, which you then only need to send to a print service or copy store or make available via the Microsoft Cloud.

Brief overview of the new features in Publisher 2021

In addition to many optimizations, this new version of Microsoft Publisher is characterized by extended options for use: For example, Publisher 2021 can also be used on touch-enabled devices with a stylus. Publisher documents can also be shared with others via the Microsoft cloud service OneDrive. Thanks to the reliable real-time updating of the files stored there and the high security standards guaranteed by Data Loss Prevention, working on Publisher layout documents in a team is not only efficient but also secure.

Publisher 2021 offers the following functions and features, among others:

• A separate column is now available in the design area for editing multiple images.
• Images can be intuitively exchanged immediately using drag & drop.
• Numerous new image effects are available: e.g. shadows, glow effects, 3D effects and reflections.
• These can also be used for the design of texts.
• The finished publications can also be saved in JPG format for use with an online photo service or digital print.

Publisher 2021 is normally only available as a fixed component of certain MS Office versions, but at Wiresoft you can also purchase the publication software separately. In order to use the MS Publisher 2021 version on your computer or other Windows-enabled device, the Windows 10 operating system is a mandatory requirement.

In the Wiresoft online store, in addition to the latest Publisher 2021 version, you can also obtain older versions and many other Office programs at a particularly low price as a single-user version, without any software subscription. The following detailed overview shows all the interesting and important new features in Publisher 2021.

The functional scope of Microsoft Publisher 2021

Publisher 2021 has improvements to the already proven existing functions and tools as well as some new features, including freely usable graphics and templates, so that the range of possible applications in this version is even broader than before.

Use design suggestions when designing documents

As soon as you start Publisher 2021 , an extensive catalog of design templates is displayed, which contains suggestions for a variety of different print documents in typical formats: from simple business cards to flyers for mailing to extensive catalogs. Each of the templates can be further customized - colors as well as fonts and formatting can be replaced or supplemented by others. The file of the original template is always retained so that it can be accessed again and again, as the newly designed template is saved as a copy.

Beginners and inexperienced users in particular will appreciate these document presets in order to achieve an appealing print result every time.

Of course, it is also possible to design your own templates and layouts. These can also be saved as a template or master file so that they are immediately available the next time. This saves professionals in particular a great deal of time and ensures that all documents based on them have a consistent look and identical quality.

Use modules for publications

To ensure that documents have a recurring, identical look across different formats and media, so-called building blocks can also be used in Publisher 2021 . These are typical elements such as headings, but also frames, boxes, etc. As with the templates, users can use the building blocks integrated in Publisher or create their own.

Edit images and graphics directly in Publisher 2021

Graphics and photos can be inserted directly from the PC, from the Microsoft ClipArt library or via the Bing image search or from an online photo album. They can be exchanged and replaced at any time using drag & drop. With the ruler function, they can be placed in the desired position with millimeter precision after insertion.

Image files imported into a Publisher document can even be edited afterwards; it is possible to adjust the hue and color intensity as well as crop the image size to the desired format. It is also possible to add various effects such as shadows and reflections to images and text to make them stand out.

The scalable SVG vector graphics available in Publisher 2021 retain their sharpness even when enlarged and therefore always provide a professional representation, while the 3D objects can be rotated as required to obtain the desired view.

Use practical text fields

When laying out longer texts that extend over several pages or are interrupted by images, there are a number of helpful tools available to help you keep track of the layout at all times: For example, if too much text is inserted into a text field, a small box at the bottom right of the frame indicates this with an ellipsis. The existing text field can then either be easily enlarged with the mouse, or several such text fields can be linked together so that the remaining text automatically appears in the next field. This feature is particularly useful for subsequent changes to the text, e.g. if it is shortened or added to.

Personalize Publisher documents and share them with others

To create personalized mailings, the names, photos or web links of all addressees can be added automatically. And to share a draft or finished layout with other employees, their email addresses can be inserted directly into a document, which makes sending even faster. By using Microsoft's OneDrive cloud services in Publisher, it is also possible to save data online so that recipients can access it via a link.

Publisher 2021 has printing options in every quality

Depending on the purpose for which flyers, brochures, invitation cards and other advertising materials, but also purely private print products are to be created, Publisher 2021 offers extensive options for printing and, of course, for the design. This means that printed materials can be created for any target group in the desired quality. For digital printing via an online printing service, Publisher documents can also be saved in the usual .JPG format.

General system requirements for Microsoft Publisher 2021

The office software Publisher 2021 is available for download in two versions: 32-bit and 64-bit. The 64-bit version is installed by default, but only the 32-bit version can be installed on a 32-bit operating system with an x86 processor. Depending on the version selected, individual hardware requirements may differ - for example in terms of RAM and hard disk space. The following minimum requirements must be observed:

• Operating systems:  Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server 2022
• Processor: min. 1.6 GHz or faster
• Hard disk space: min. 4 GB available storage space
• Working memory: min. 4 GB RAM

Buy Microsoft Publisher 2021 cheaply as a standalone program from Wiresoft

MS Publisher is a classic component of some Microsoft Office suites and is therefore not normally available separately, but only together with the other Office programs. At Wiresoft, you can also buy the Publisher software 2021 as a stand-alone program - unlike many other providers of Microsoft software programs - and above all as a purchase version.

Your advantages: This single user license of Publisher 2021 does not oblige you to a time-limited subscription with mandatory updates or possible restrictions on the use of the functions. It is therefore doubly worthwhile for you to buy Publisher 2021 from Wiresoft as a single program, especially if you do not need all the Office programs.

Secure software purchase with Wiresoft: The Publisher 2021 single-user license that you purchase here usually comes from a larger volume license of a company and therefore represents a so-called used software - but in terms of functionality, it is identical to the Publisher program version that is also included in the Office Suite 2021. We can therefore offer you this at a particularly attractive price!

When purchasing used software, you are also not taking any legal risk, as trading in used software is expressly permitted by law. In addition, every Microsoft program available from Wiresoft, whether previously used or unused, has first been tested for its actual and flawless usability, so the Publisher software can be used 100% immediately after your purchase and download to your PC for an unlimited period of time.

As a reputable, reliable software dealer, Wiresoft only offers full versions of programs that are identical to the versions available from Microsoft and do not come from unreliable sources.

Freelancers and SMEs in particular, but also private users, benefit from all the advantages of Publisher 2021 when purchasing software from Wiresoft, because they save money. In addition to MS Publisher, you can also purchase many other Office programs and other Microsoft programs in the Wiresoft software store.
