Visible Margins
As a heavy user of Publisher I am learning my way through Word in view of the upcoming cancelation of Publisher.
One of the first things to strike me is the inability to make margins visible.
Anyone found a way?
I have tried text boundaries but it does not really help.
I know Word is not a graphics package but I do not see much else within Office 365.
A pity there is not another MS product to fill the gap!
Or is there?
As for alternatives to Publisher, Microsoft hasn’t released a direct replacement. They suggest using Word, PowerPoint, or Microsoft Designer for layout tasks, but none of these match Publisher’s desktop publishing capabilities. If you’re looking for something more powerful, you might consider:
- Canva for quick, template-based design
- Affinity Publisher for professional desktop publishing
- Scribus if you prefer open-source tools
