StarOffice is certainly capable of doing that kinda thing, although prolly not as easily as PageMaker. FrameMaker is much better at it, although i think i remember the Linux version of Framemaker being EOL about ayear ago. The gimp might also be good for this, if she's leaning more towards graphics than text. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
