Yep, I knew that. I use scribus and inkscape now and then and I didn't even
think about it. Then let me rephrase the question, is there a way to view MS
Publisher files in linux?

I have a department that is interested in switching to linux, except they need
publisher for some certificates. No doubt can be remade I guess, but I'm
trying to save some work for the poor slob who would be stuck re-creating the
cert... (me)
