The current version is 2.4.1, see: http://download.openoffice.org/index.html OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.4.1 provides additional security updates/fixes, improved performance, and additional features. I highly recommend that you update to the latest version; click on the green "Download OpenOffice.org" tab to start the download. > > I cannot find a counterpart to microsoft publisher.

As some others on this list have already told you, you can perform many of the same (and in most cases many more) functions in OOo as you can in MS Publisher. You can indeed create flyers and mailers, newsletters, and more. Please review the following links that will help you do this: <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual> http://support.openoffice.org/index.html http://documentation.openoffice.org/ http://documentation.openoffice.org/Samples_Templates/index.html http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/ http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/taxonomy/term/36 http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/SunTemplatepack_1 http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pubooo http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/microsoft_office/page/2/ http://www.kaaredyret.dk/openoffice_links.html Should you actually require a professional dedicated Desktop Publishing program, Scribus (as recommended by others) is free and opensource. For commercial DTP I'd recommend Adobe. That said, there is no reason that you cannot continue to use your existing MS Publisher (if you have a licenced copy) and use OOo as well.
