    I believe this is the Open Source (free) program that is closest to Publisher:

    OpenOffice doesn't contain an equivalent to Publisher. As f1Charlie said Scribus is the closest free version. Obviously you can get Publisher free but that would be illegal. :naughty:

    You can create templates in OpenOffice Writer (or Word if you have MS Office), depending on what you want ot do that may work well enough.

    Nothing to do with Beatles or Beetles.

    I've just always liked the word Scarab.
