It is at best a mix. There are functions of Publisher that OpenOffice Writer does not have (such as column flow into non-contiguous pages) but that might not matter to you. And Publisher tends to depend on Word as a choice source of content to import into Publisher. Publisher 2016 is included with the desktop applications provided under Office 365 Home and Personal (along with Access). That's how I happen to have it (except with 365 Business). If you only need a non-business subscription to Office 365, those would seem to be useful. If you are still running Publisher, it should be easy enough to install Apache OpenOffice and do your own comparison testing. And there are many Desktop Publishing Software products around, and a few are free. Without knowing more about your needs, other than as a beginner, it is difficult to recommend particular options among them. Just remember, however you approach this, to always keep progressive backups and be careful how you close your work and shut down your computer, avoiding any kind of loss of your work to only the most recent changes. - Dennis > > -----Original Message----- > From: Wade Smart [mailto:wadesm...@gmail.com] > Sent: Friday, September 09, 2016 8:04 AM > To: users@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Re: MS Office Publisher > > On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 6:41 AM, toki <toki.kant...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 08/09/2016 23:58, Terry Hocevar wrote: > >> Do you have a similar product or recommendation for beginner > newsletter publisher? > > > > Write will do a better job than anything MSPublisher could ever dream > > of being able to do. > > > > > > jonathon > > I think Toki said a beginner to publishing, not a specific product. > > Toki, check out http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ Its a linux mag but they > talk about the tech they use to produce it.
