A free desktop publishing program

Have you ever wondered why word-processing programs have “cut” and “paste” commands? They go back to the old days of page layout.

Designers would cut out parts of pages and rearrange them. When things were complete, the parts would be glued down.

Aren’t you glad you can use a computer program to do this? Of course, word-processing programs aren’t the best layout tools.

Sure, programs like Word are very capable. But, for a print publication, you need something more powerful. You need a page-layout/desktop-publishing program.

You may hesitate to pay upwards of $1,000 for Quark. That’s a huge investment!

So, maybe you should try Scribus. It's a free page-layout program. It offers many of the features you’ll find in costly software.

For Windows 2000/XP, Mac OS X.

Cost: Free
