I can vouch for scribus, its quite good and very actively developed.

Hi Heracles,
Maybe Scribus (http://www.scribus.net) is a better option than
OpenOffice. I haven't used it, but I have heard it is good and stable,
and it is available for most of the Linux distributions (and other
platforms).
Have a nice day.

Hi All,
I've recently taken back the job of creating the monthly magazine for a
computer club I have been a member of since 1982. The person who gave me
a couple of years rest used windows and word so I will have to recreate
the templates from scratch probably. The magazine is 24 pages for which
the format is fairly fixed.
Page 1 is a cover with graphics and some text, Page 2 has an index
(which obviously changes monthly) and other fixed text and page 24 is
basically fixed with only a small part (Dates) of its text changing monthly.
Pages 3 to 23 (where all the new content is placed) are set up as 2
columns with a footer but no header.
I used to use Open Office and made it in four parts which I combined and
created a pdf for the printer when I did it in the past but I was
wondering if there might be a simpler way to set up a template for the
whole magazine as one unit and just make the minor changes and drop in
the new body text each month.
Any recommendation would be appreciated.
Heracles
