It was a good match. I've spent time with Word and discovered layers of features but couldn't easily and consistently locate them. This systematic approach to publisher not only informs me about the layers of publisher but also how I can more consistently locate word icons and features. A two for one learning experience because there is so much carry over between Word and Publisher
