OOo will do just fine. Publisher's main features are working with frames which was Word's primary weakpoint. You can build a brochure, flyer, newsletter etc., with OOo as you can with Publisher (at least the older versions). So, you might say that OOo has an MS Publisher equivalent already built in. OOo might not have all of the ready made templates that Publisher does, and it may take some learning to accomplish the task, but OOo can do just about anything that Publisher can do. Scribus is good (I use it on occassion), but memory & CPU intensive. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
