On the topic of how to get Publisher files into Scribus, I think Trevor has to tell his friends who send him their Publisher files that he can't open those files, does not have a program that opens Publisher files, and will not spend hundreds for a computer and OS that could handle those files.
When I was putting out newsletters, I made it clear that only TXT and DOC submissions would be considered. Just about everyone on every platform can create TXT and DOC files. You don't need Microsoft Word in order to produce a DOC file. So if someone wants to submit a file for publication, they simply MUST learn how to get a file into an acceptable format. As the saying goes, it's not rocket science, generally File menu, Save as and find the format in the list, or File menu, Export and find the format in the list. It's pretty standard practice to specify that only certain file formats are acceptable. The burden is on the producer of the files, not the one receiving them and certainly not on the developers of Scribus or any other DTP program to accommodate them. --Judy M.
