Nifty site to find alternatives - http://www.osalt.com/publisher And as icarolongo mentioned those are your best bet; LibreOffice Writer or Drawing, and Scribus.

As far as I know there is NO equivalent to Microsoft Publisher. Some people have mentioned Scribus, but Scribus is the equivalent of a complete Desktop Publishing, say InDesign or Quark. Maybe LibreOffice Writer has some of the functions, but none of the templates. Also, you should think

Glabel is really really good. I will use that from now on. I just printed a label to identify a usb hdd. The thing to make your own design is great, better than publisher. If I had known about this when I was printing labels for a optical disk with publisher... What happened is a used the

Hi Axgb, I've read that Libreoffice Draw can be used as an alternative to Microsoft Publisher. It definitely has the capabilities to open and edit Publisher files anyway. Also Scribus is supposed to be good. Hope this helps! Steve

WebM is perfectly good for non-web use. But yes, they can all export Theora, and same goes for WebM and Matroska. PiTiVi has a tendency to fail to export many of the formats it's supposed to support, though, and I've gotten mixed results with it (and sometimes it crashes or locks up, so make

Why don't we make a topic specific about it? And in the Spanish forums they're planning to make videos to promote free software as well as Trisquel. Why don't we begin as well? I mean, we can begin by discussing what software can we use to edit our videos! :D

For labels, I have used glabels in the past. (I haven't needed to print a label in quite a while.) I don't know how it compares to Microsoft Publisher though, since I've never used that.

Scribus i think is an alternative for that software. Give it a try, maybe you find what you need.

No free video editing software is as good as the good proprietary video editing software. But some choices are PiTiVi, OpenShot, Lombard, and LiVES. I've used all of those except Lombard; OpenShot is more or less as good as Windows Movie Maker; PiTiVi has advanced features, but often has
