You may have other Microsoft apps installed on your Mac, and AutoUpdate will continue providing updates just for those apps. If you download Office from the Mac App Store, then the App Store will provide you with future updates of Office. If you are an educator or student, you can get both rather cheap, comparatively. Microsoft AutoUpdate is only used to get updates for apps that you download directly from Microsoft. For the graduate course I am taking, they just use Word and Office suite programs so I am slowly learning them but I would advise anyone that has an option to stay with Quark or InDesign. I am not familiar with Office 2008 nor the version of Publisher suggested. After over 20 yrs working with it, and programs such as Illustrator and Photoshop, I find myself after 6 years dabbling in Word off and on, on the Mac, a pain. You will need to purchase Microsoft Windows to run Publisher. I was able to easily manipulate the items and have the program do what I needed it to do. You can run Microsoft Publisher on your Mac either in Apple Boot Camp or in Parallels Desktop. Quark is easy to use, I started using it a day I had to create a full page add for a auto dealership and learn the program at the same time with no training. As it stands now, I would discourage anyone using Word as a layout program however, it is great as a word processor. Trying to do anything in Word I find myself extremely frustrated wanting the program to do more and more easily like the DTP programs. I have used DTP programs such as PageMaker, Quark, and InDesign professionally.
