I use both. Scribus allows me to build PDF forms easily (OpenOffice will also allow you to build and save PDF forms). Only problem is you cannot save the filled in form, only print the form after you fill it in.
I do all my word processing in OpenOffice (saved as Word doc for people still needing word doc format). I use the whole open office suite. I've created presentations and the spreadsheet. I use Scribus for PDF forms, Cards, and other Items I use for Desktop Publishing including a monthly club bulletin that used to be done in Publisher. -- Russ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
