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.
