Actually, I'd bet that OO will do a lot of what M$ Publisher will do, it just 
won't hold your hand while you do it. You will need to learn some basics 
about laying out a document.

I may have to eat my words though, in the next month I'll be moving some 
price flyers and ads from WordPro and PageMaker to OO. If there are no font 
issues and I can create a good PDF to go to print, I'll be a happy camper.
