Our division newsletter is no longer done in publisher. It's on an older version of Quark now. (which I don't know much about).
I'm curious about the Windows native installer for Scribus (I have had a quick play with Scribus on Linux). http://www.scribus.net/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=2&page=1 The person creating our newsletter has long been familiar with Quark, so we might stay with that unless both her and I find some spare time to burn one day :) Everyone has the ability to generate pdfs through a SAMBA print process at both of our offices. Postscript print job converted to pdf and saved to a network share for pickup (with a script that clears that directory nightly). I don't think anyone attempts to email .pub files here anymore. I think some of our training certificates are still created with it.

I'm amazed that people still use this decidedly dog of a program and then have the gall to firstly email the .pub documents around, and secondly wonder why the email was rejected because the file was so huge. Publisher wins hands down for file size bloat - no contest. Friend's don't let friend's use Publisher.
