For those of us who have never chosen to use M$ products <g> - is Publisher a DTP package? If so, it depends on what she is doing with it. If all you need is frame-based layout, you can do that quite well in kword. If you want something nearer to full DTP, try scribus. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. It takes a while to find your way around, but most things are possible. Anne
