One of the ways that Publisher versions 2002 – 2007 gloss over the limitations of HTML is with a technology called VML. It was time for Publisher to change as well. The browser landscape, the available site authoring tools, and user expectations of an online presence have all changed greatly in recent years. Publisher 2007 does some of each of these with the general effect that the web authoring experience is not as rich as what a web-specific tool could deliver. Gloss over the differences and do the best it can to render to the constraints of the eventual output format.Force a user decision about whether the output will be print or web and present different features and experiences for the two.
All of these things behave differently on the web. When designing for paper, you know what size page your content will appear on, you know what fonts are available and where text will wrap and you can be relatively confident that colors will be consistent from one copy to the next. The web and print are differentĭesigning for paper and designing for the web are very different. As part of this focus, we have removed the ability to author new web sites from the Publisher catalog. With Publisher 2010, we sharpened our focus to deliver great experiences and results for print, PDF and XPS, and email output. Jeff was the Group Program Manager for Publisher and Text Services during the development and release of Publisher 2010.įor a number of versions, Publisher has filled a gap as an easy-to-use web site authoring tool sitting between the template-based web-hosted offerings and the designer-oriented desktop HTML editors. Today’s post on the reduction in web publication capability in Publisher 2010 comes to us from Jeff Bell.
