What you want is Scribus. It is far more powerful than MS Publisher. And I believe the current development version has an import filter for MS Publisher files. Plus, of course, it has import filters for OO/LO writer documents which preserve the styles. But if you are not familiar with page layout apps you may have a learning curve. The important thing to remember is that it is page oriented, so each page should be considered a container. Whatever you put on a page stays on that page until you move it. Text doesn't flow like it does in a word processor. It's a bit like if the only way to place text in an OO/LO document was in frames. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Good Afternoon Group, I'm glad the war is over, I was worried. I had a major catastrophe [I lost my OS] Dec.31 And its taken me 2 weeks to recover. Boy! What a time you all had! This email from Austin brought up a question I haven't asked: Is there a AOO or open-source replacement for Microsoft's Publisher? I've tried Presentation & Draw but can't quite get what I want. Also, I have several xxx.pub files I can't use. Take Care.

Re: Publisher Templates?
Yes, this is quite possible. However, it is not recommended. Scribus does not handle RGB output profiles, and cannot colour manage the workflow. -a -Original Message- From: Rory O'Farrell To: users@openoffice.apache.org CC: uga...@talktalk.net Sent: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:45 Subject: Re: Publisher Templates?

Re: Publisher Templates?
Thanks for the tips. I've decided to go with OO templates. She doesn't need to do desktop publishing, per se. She has very simple requirements. -- ashelt...@gmail.com sites.google.com/site/ashelton3 > On Jan 10, 2014, at 2:15 AM, uga...@talktalk.net wrote: > > > Scribus may not be suitable if you are outputting to an ink-jet printer. > > > > > -Original Message- > From: James Knott > To: users@openoffice.apache.org > Sent: Thu, 9 Jan 2014 21:55 > Subject: Re: Publisher Templates? > > > Austin Shelton wrote: >> A friend of mine is considering switching from her Windows computer to a > Macintosh.

Publisher Templates?
Hi, A friend of mine is considering switching from her Windows computer to a Macintosh. She is stuck because she uses Microsoft Publisher and an equivalent is not available on MacOSX. I am thinking that maybe she could use OO instead. Here's the thing. It seems like I could set up templates in OO (if possible). That's what she uses the most. So my question is: Has anyone developed templates for (for example) greeting cards, business cards, etc? Can you share your templates with us?
