By the way, when do I need Publisher? What can it do that Word can not? I had MS Office 97 installed on my PC in 1999 and I used Publisher and Word sometimes, but everything I did with Publisher was possible to do with Word too, the big difference for me at that time was that the Publisher files were much bigger which was a big issue for me back then when the HDDs were much smaller than today and 3½" diskettes and 100 MB Zip drives were still frequently used by some people, including me.

I just downloaded Scribus. While it doesn't act just like MS Publisher, it looks like a pretty good program. Can't wait to put something together and print it out.
