It's only real draback is that it doesn't have a CYMK palette (for legal reasons). > Adobe Pagemaker This is more difficult. You can try an advanced word processor, like StarOffice (StarOffice 6.0 is set to hit beta next month). Kword, a simple word processor, shares much in common with DTP apps. > Macromedia Dreamweaver A real blind spot for GNU/Linux. Good HTML editors abound (like SCREEM, Bluefish and Quanta+), but there are few WYSIWYG editors. The best at present are Netscape/Mozilla Composer, Amaya (http://www.w3.org/Amaya/) and IBM Homepage Builder (http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/hpbuilder/linux/index.html). Of these, IBM Homepage Builder has by far the most features, but it costs money and it is a port from Windows (using Winelib). A 60-day trial version is available for download. Once again, StarOffice can also be used as an HTML editor. From my experience, it has better HTML support than MS Word. > Any help would be appreciated. > > Thanks! -- Sridhar Dhanapalan.
