Hi all

I'm a newbie to this forum, so be gentle with me!:rotfl:

Just wanted to know if there are any free trials for Microsoft Publisher (apart from Microsoft itself)!

I've got some docs. I want to print for my college work, and would like to try and make them a little bit more snazzy:D

Any suggestions folks??

Publisher is a Microsoft program, Dont come with Open Office or anything free.

So, is there anything similar?

Sooler already suggested Scribus which is the nearest equivalent you're going to get for free.

Is there any specific reason why you wouldn't want to use the trial from Microsoft? It is their product after all and so is the main place to get their trials.

if you use a trial of publisher you wont be able to access the documents afterwards unless you convirt them. If you have office there is very little you can do with publiisher that you can't do with powerpoint or word. powerpoint allows you to do similar layout with text boxes, images etc, just select A4 portrait in the page set up. You can also set up some pretty good templates in word, use colours text boxes etc. the help section to find what you are after.
