------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Aug 13 07:05:10 +0000 2008 ------- http://www.scribus.net/ is a publishing tool for linux and other operating systems like Mac and Windows but it requires Ghostscript. (preference: GPL Ghostscript) at http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ it uses a text-file format, so that makes things easy to fix if something goes wrong. however, OOo needs a publisher that is compatible with Microsoft Publisher (at least Microsoft Publisher 2003). could this please be implemented? One of the things that changes between versions of publisher is the printing features. the print setup and print dialog gets more and more complicated as time goes on. Another key needed feature is the ability to save to backrev versions of publisher (and warn about any features in the document [such as printability] that are incompatible with the old version, and do you want to save anyway?) Publisher 2000 page setup could not put multiple items on 1 sheet, and therefore it does not have vertical gap and horizontal gap settings either. This can affect the layout of the document if you are backreving from 2003 or 2007. You could in 2003. I don't know what 2007 is like, but I am sure they really changed the file format in 2007 the way everybody has been talking. in 2003, you put in your document size (H & V). and paper type and landscape/portrait. there is a button that lets you change the copies per sheet. from there, vertical and horizontal gap, side and top margins, and a radio button that selects between multiple or 1 document per sheet. MS publisher figures out how many copies per sheet there are going to be (such as 2x5 business cards for example). Blank Document types: Full Page, Web Page, Postcard, Business Card, Book Fold, Side Fold Card, Top Fold Card, Tent Card, Poster (made up of multiple sheets), Banner (made up of multiple sheets), Index Card. Publication Types in Page Setup: Full Page, Banner, Booklet, Business Card, Custom, Envelope, Folded Card, Index Card, Label, Postcard, Poster. If you want to see what 2000 is like, a training cd is cheap on ebay. cheaper than buying the program itself. I know of an office that is still using Office 2000 and Publisher 2000. backrev is important. please make this a part of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
