What does Swift Publisher 5 do? Swift Publisher is your all-purpose page layout and desktop publisher for Windows. Doesn't matter what pallette I choose, blue is the color I get. I click on a different color and nothing changes. I don't want blue, so I click on that box and the color chooser opens up. Example: I add a rectangle to a document and choose that I want to fill that rectangle with color, so I click the checkbox. A huge number of the problems in app work.I have been using this app for a while now and it doesn't do some really basic things. I’ve purchased several desktop publishers that seem to be similar upon viewing on the app store, but they end up being difficult to learn or navigate, not at all intuitive, and I’ve never found even one app that can do all that Swift can do. For personal use, it’s super easy to create backgrounds or headers for any/all social media apps, birthday cards, labels, making & addressing holiday cards, “first day of school” chalkboard signs, and more. This is by far the most used app I have across all areas of my life making marketing materials for work such as newsletters, brochures, or post cards. I’ve been using Swift Publisher for a few years now, and have never been disappointed. This has really helped me be more productive with church publications. And the automatic booklet print function really takes the stress our of making sure you have your pages in the right order.

So intuitive (it behaves just like an Apple-produced app) and straightforward. Well, I had to get a funeral bulletin ready in a short amount of time, so I tried Swift Publisher. Our church office PC has MS Publisher, and I’ve been able to fumble my way through it (you really need to take a class for it, it’s got so many functions). I’ve never had much experience with desktop publishers, but I understand that they’re supposed to be easier and better than a word processor when page formatting is a top priority. The text areas are small, requiring only a few sentences (but there are options for longer items, too). I picked out a template, then used the pre-defined text areas to fill in the content.

The hard part is writing the content (a blank page is a scary thing), but the examples provided in Swift Publisher’s template gallery make even that task less daunting. I pulled together a tri-fold brochure in no time, completely from scratch. This app makes it incredibly easy to create marketing materials like brochures, newsletters, etc. Very glad I bought Swift Publisher it is well worth the price.
