This is where I jump in. The only reason I still have W$3.1 on my system is M$ Publisher. I do a 20page 1/4'ly bulletin with it. I need a usable DPI that uses frames. Kword is getting there but I've not been able to get it to work because there is no docs at all for it. The guys working on it have great software, but no docs at all.
I agree. Linux needs an application like MS Publisher. It lets me do relatively complex layouts with amazing ease and speed.
Right now the best contender does seem to be KWord. Its capabilities seem rudimentary compared to MS Publisher, but I think it's off to a nice start. For such a young application, KWord is really nice. I have already used it a few times for some of the simpler uses I previously used MS Publisher for. With time I hope it will gradually rival the power of MS Publisher.

HI Bryan et al.... OK, I've got Kword on my system but can't figure out what to do. So here's my question. I want to print landscape with two frames on each page. In each frame should be 2 columns. It should print like this #1 pg 20 pg 1 #2 pg 2 pg 19 #3 pg 18 pg 3 #4 pg 4 pg 17 #5 pg 16 pg 5 #6 pg 6 pg 15 #7 pg 14 pg 7 #8 pg 8 pg 13 #9 pg 12 pg 9 #10 pg 10 pg 11 Of course I print #1 on the back of #2 etc, the staple together and have a nice little bulletin. Can you give me an idea on how to do this with Kword?
