My issue relates to Microsoft Publisher 2013 working in Office 365 and its inability to check in and check out files in a similar way to Word, Excel or Powerpoint. I manage an Office 365 Enterprise E1 account (non-profits) for a charity and most work is carried out by volunteers with limited IT experience.
-->This app type makes it easy for you to assign Office 365 2016 apps to macOS devices. By using this app type, you can install Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. To help keep the apps more secure and up to date, the apps come with Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU). The apps that you want are displayed as one app in the list of apps in the Intune console.
Before you start
Before you begin adding Office 365 to macOS devices, understand the following details:
- Devices to which you deploy these apps must be running macOS 10.10 or later.
- Intune supports adding the Office apps that are included with Office 2016 for Mac suite only.
- If any Office apps are open when Intune installs the app suite, users might lose data from unsaved files.

Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing application from Microsoft, differing from Microsoft Word in that the emphasis is placed on page layout and design rather than text composition and proofing.
Overview[edit]
Publisher is included in higher-end editions of Microsoft Office, reflecting Microsoft's emphasis on the application as an easy-to-use and less expensive alternative to the 'heavyweights' with a focus on the small-business market, where firms do not have dedicated design professionals available to make marketing materials and other documents.[3][4] However, it has a relatively small share of the desktop publishing market, which is dominated by Adobe InDesign and formerly by QuarkXPress.[3]
While most Microsoft Office apps adopted ribbons for their user interface starting with Microsoft Office 2007, Publisher retained its toolbars and did not adopt ribbons until Microsoft Office 2010.[5]
Compatibility[edit]
LibreOffice has supported Publisher's proprietary file format (.pub) since February 2013.[6]Corel Draw X4 features read-only support.
Publisher supports numerous other file formats, including the Enhanced Metafile (EMF) format, which is supported on Windows platforms. The Microsoft Publisher trial version can be used to view .pub files beyond the trial period.[7]
Adobe PageMaker also saved files with a .pub extension, but the two file formats were unrelated and incompatible.
