Microsoft Word is a word processor. It is mainly for creating letters, correspondence, CVs, reports and in general documents that are dominated by the written word. Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing package. It is better suited to creating documents involving graphics such as brochures, calendars, invitations, etc. There are a lot of things that both can do, but for more sophisiticated and professional documents you would use Microsoft Publisher and for more straightforward documents you would use Microsoft Word.
