Not as far as I know. However, the "Draw" component of OOo (OpenOffice.org) can be used for simple desktop publishing. If you need something more advanced than publisher, then install "Scribus" from http://www.scribus.net If you only use Outlook for email & calendar, then Mozilla Thunderbird and Calendar http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird might meet your needs.
