Yup! That's what I use it for most of the time. I browse the ideas and then create them in other apps. However, I should say that I USED to do that. Publisher 2003 (new version) is actually pretty good and I've found myself using it more and more...rather than taking the time to redo it. I've also used Publisher to create a couple quickie web sites. However, I admit that I later kicked myself and wondered why the hell I didn't do it right the first time in Dreamweaver...after I had to redo them in DW later cos' updating a site with Pub is just impossible! In fact, in my Custom Calendar article (http://www.mousetrax.com/calendar.html) I recommend that if you have Publisher...swipe part of the design from that, versus making your own Calendar in Word.
