I always found it weird when people used word in the way youre supposed to use publisher for.

Publisher litterally exists for people to have better control of page layout and image control.

Publisher is more limiting in many more ways than word and is very old in the tooth.

I have luck using word and publisher together to make some things. Recently I worked with designers to make a workflow for creating and updating a catalog for a customer, that used excel and publisher like an extreme version of mailmerge in word.

All of this stuff is antiquated but people have access to these tools so sometimes we make stuff in them because of who is using it.
