It was "okay" to make that sign to keep the coffee station clean in the
office *IF* you print to a local printer.

Word was and is better for that kind of thing.

I used to do pre-press for a newspaper. We did a lot of print jobs for other
people. We hated to see a print job come in using Publisher format. We hated
it so much that we inserted a line into the standard print job form saying
that we accepted Word, RTF, Word Perfect, Quark, PageMaker, PDF, and InDesign
but not Publisher documents.
