If you go to this page on the Openoffice.org site, you will find details of 
companies who provide Open Office on a cd.  They make a small charge for this, 
which may vary depending on whether they also offer support.  I cannot vouch 
for any of them, and Open Office does not endorse them but makes a page 
available for contact information.  Here is the page:

http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/index.html#cdrom

Other ways to get Open Office are perhaps on the cover CD with many computer 
magazines, although you may not get the latest version that way.  Or you can 
try asking a friend with a faster connection to download it for you and put it 
on a USB stick or burn it to a CD for you.  Just make sure (s)he has the same 
operating system.  I'm assuming you have Windows, so get your friend to 
download the Windows version.  It doesn't matter which version of Windows you 
have.

Other users may be able to suggest other ways of getting Open Office.

I suggest you join our mailing list - go to this page:

you'll find lots of other users who try to help newcomers with using Open 
Office, everything from 'how do I start it' to more detailed technical 
questions.

Good luck with Open Office.

[users] RE: Need another program equivalent to Microsoft offering

2008-01-31 Thread rmachen
Is there a version of Microsoft's Publisher available in the Open Office family 
of products? Will it open and save files in a version of Publisher?  I would 
like to get if it is available, so if it is, I would appreciate knowing how to 
find it and obtain.

Thanks,

RMachen

No, there is not. Only Publisher will open .pub files.
There is a free Desktop publish program called Scribus which will do the 
same thing as Publisher. But I do not know how many other programs can read 
Scribus file formats.

Only Publisher can open Publisher files.  You can do many of it's 
functions in OpenOffice or you may want to consider Scribus.
