I would suggest that you could use punisher under windows to create a postscript file for viewing in linux. Another possibility would be to use publisher and free-pdf or another pdf printer driver in winders to create a pdf file that you can view anywhere and "might" be able to edit w/ kword.
Good luck
I don't completely agree with you. It takes some work but I've redone my Bullitin (4 pages) using Scribus and as it grows I think it will be better than MS Pub. Take a look at it at www.scribus.com if I'm not mistaken. --
www.scribus.com got nothing, perhaps www.scribus.net was what you had in mind.

I agree Scribus is a great program and growing by leaps and bounds. Although I can't bear to use Punishers wizard based system it can be quite effective for those that aren't driven nuts by it (my wife and daughter for example). This is what I meant when I suggested that there is no replacement for this (horrid) program in linux. Scribus uses templates but this is still quite diferent than the wizards of punisher and create-a-card. The original poster was trying to view/edit punisher documents with linux. As far as I know Scribus does not recognize msPublisher files (either). Hence the suggestion I made. Self Horn Blowing Mode ON I put together a *.desktop file (wmf-converter) that will allow you to convert the wmf files that Publisher to eps for use in linux applications. (Note the real work is done by image magik, I just created a menu entry to make things easier) search for wmf at kde-look.org if you are interested. I suggest that it be used in conjunction with the wmf-thumbnail-plugin also available at kde-look.org. Self Horn Blowing Mode OFF See ya -- dh Don't shop at ZipZoomFly.com!
