Publisher 2010 is driving me around the twist.
I am not alone in making this observation.
For my latest poster, I just gave up.
I went back Publisher 2003 for the initial layout. I did almost everything there, until I was ready to make some PDFs of the poster. Publisher 2010’s PDF export is fast and excellent, and I still like using that. There are one or two other last minutes that I might tweak in Publisher 2010; fixing typos and the like.
But going so far backwards is pretty sad.

Move to Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign. I don't think Publisher is color managed. Without color management, professional quality output is difficult to achieve.
True.
That said, I personally have not had a case for a conference poster where that high level of precision with the colours was needed.
If I needed precise colours, I would probably use CorelDRAW! I'm a long time user of Corel, and have used it for posters. My experience (until now) was that doing layouts was quicker in Publisher.
