I am looking for an opensource (ideally) programme which will do the same kind of thing as MS Publisher. Does anyone know of one?

rach try option 16 on the right of the page that will come up from the following link. There are two open source DTP options there, but I have never used them.

Serif give out freeware of their older versions at:

www.freeserifsoftware.com

The page seems unobtainable just now, but will probably return before long. Their programmes are very good - I have used them for years.

Hope this helps................Throstle

An open-source desktop publishing package? Scribus is the only one that springs to mind. There's also something of the sort to be found within the OpenOffice.org suite, in the form of the somewhat inscrutably-named Draw.

Scribus isn't yet available for Windows, although it is being ported. You could always try it on a Linux live CD, or go the whole hog, make your computer dual-boot, and break your ties to Microsoft!

Found a great free vocab-learning program called Interlex:

http://www.vocab.co.uk/index.htm

Can set it for many languages, enter your own vocab lists, easily import lists the author supplies on the site, and be tested in e.g. either english or spanish, typing in the words, or multi-choice. Also, it's easy to type in accents, as all you do is right-click and this brings up a box where you can choose the accented letter you need. Really good program.
