It all depends upon what type of publishing you are trying to do. OOo can do most of the things that Word can do, and some things that are impossible to do with MSWord. OOo can do most of the things that MS Publisher can do. Since you are asking for a comparison with Microsoft Office, and/or Microsoft Publisher, OOo will probably be more than adequate for your needs. However, OOo is not a substitute for a professional quality Desktop Publishing Program. If you need a professional quality Desktop Publishing program, then Scribus is the FLOSS tool of choice. Note: MS Publisher files are incompatible with all other programs. https://www.pdfonline.com/convert_pdf.asp will convert most publisher files to PDF format. For most projects, WRITE is the OOo Component that emulates Publisher. For some projects, DRAW is the OOo Component that emulates Publisher. Which component to use depends upon what you are trying to create. #### Your message was sent to a public mailing list. Answers are provided by volunteers.

Furthermore,OOo can not compensate for the defective and flawed security measures used by Microsoft. As such, before using this product for exams that require faulty and defective software, ensure that you will not be unjustly penalized for the incompetence of the organization that requires the use of software that is known to be flawed, defective, bug-ridden, and fails to meet ISO file format standards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
