Swift Publisher is a powerful Mac alternative to Microsoft Publisher providing the features that are usually found only in expensive DTP packages — Master pages, guide lines, grid, layers, tables and many more.
Isn't this in the wrong thread? Shouldn't it be in Graphics or at least in Software? Thebutchersboy, You didn't say what you were using Publisher for? Do you only make fliers for yourself or to printout for your office?
If you are using it to make fliers and things that you are going to print on a home printer, you will be fine using Publisher or a similar tool (such as Apple's Pages). I would go for Pages but if you 'have to' have your old Publisher files, you could always resort to using Parrarels or VMware's Fusion, and then run Publisher inside of a virtual environment. Just a suggestion. If you are planning on having something printed commercially, then you should step up to a more robust and commercial printer friendly application such as InDesign or Quark Xpress. I have received Publisher files at a commercial printer and believe me, they are a nightmare. I hate Publisher with a passion. I have spent vast amounts of time trying to reconstruct pages in InDesign/Xpress because Publisher just isn't a professional layout application (it can't print separations).
Best of luck. Thebutchersboy, For me there isn't much difference between Quark Xpress and Adobe InDesign. I use both of them daily.
Sure there are some minor differences but in the end, they both are designed to do the same thing. They both allow you to produce nice, printer friendly layouts (that can actually be printed or exported as a PDF). Which one is better?
Only you can decide which tool is the best for you. For some people, they like the fact that InDesign comes with Adobe's CS collection and they are used to Adobe's interface (and InDesign plays well with other Adobe products). Other people avoid InDesign for those same reasons (some people actually dislike and don't trust Adobe, much like lots of people dislike and don't trust Microsoft). Some people prefer Quark's interface. I would recommend that if you are seriously considering InDesign or Quark Xpress, download them both and give them a try. See for yourself which one fits your style. They are both excellent products.
As RickyB mentioned, you can use Microsoft Word but I would avoid it if you are making catalogs or brochures. As I mentioned in my previous post, if you are printing things at home or the office, Word will work fine, just like Microsoft Publisher. Sure you can use Word to make catalogs or brochures but if you are going to have them professionally printed (and the key here is professionally printed) stay away from Word. Commercial printers will tell you that they 'accept' Word files. What they don't tell you is that they actually charge you more because they have to take your Word file and then rebuild it in Xpress, InDesign, or Illustrator so that they can actually print it. Word works well for what it was designed to do, to be a word processor.
If you are going to be doing more than that, try something else. In the end, it all comes down to what you are planning to do and then finding the best tool for the job.
A suitable alternative maybe seen in, an easy-to-use page layout application for desktop publishing on Mac, allowing the creation of professional quality documents with ease, including newsletters, brochures, adverts to name but a few. & a also aid novices to the most experienced of users. It is considered an excellent resource for those who bemoan the fact that MS Publisher is not available on the Mac platform.
From Apple's it is $17.99. Purchasing directly from the website above however gives a 30 day free trial period. The Best option is definitely. But it's also probably the most expensive one.

Publisher For Mac
At this time it is only available by a $50 per month subscription to Adobe's Creative Cloud service. Needless to say, it is much more powerful and advanced than Microsoft Publisher, which is designed for low-end office and small-business newsletter production.
