MS Word, Open Office Writer and similiar programs are word processors. Scribus is a publishing program. You cannot compare the two. (Is this a homework question?) Google for the differences. > On http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Similar_Programs it states that > Publisher is joke, but what exactly makes it that? I think what is implied is that Publisher is not a Desk Top Publishing program in the true sense of the phrase. I think if you spent a little time examining the Edit->Properties of Scribus and compare those with Publisher, you will have a better understanding of the differences. Owen
