MS Publisher replacements?

[Tom Emerson]

APLUG could use a collection of pages & links to software and 
recommendations on the web site.

Another app, Microsoft Publisher, available on the Microsoft Office 
Professional CD and is also available stand-alone.  (A desktop publishing 
app).

We were this -> <-  close to rolling out OpenOffice.org for a client, they 
said no when they realized an MS Publisher equivelant was not part of 
OpenOffice.org.  Egg on our faces, we didn't have an answer at that 
moment.

Any good desktop publishing packages out there?
