I've tried and tried. We have one staff member who loves it. It seems
like the only way you could handle it is to run publisher under wine.
>From what I've read, publisher is out of favor, even within the MS
community. A dead horse. Nothing else can read it's format. What it
seems to be handy at as is composing multi-fold pamphlets, without
resorting to nasty templates. Otherwise, MS Word would do the job as
well. But what the hey, we can just send our money to the world's
richest white guy. <sighs>  

The office has just learned to not pass such things to me. I guess that
is a minor victory of sort. :) Ric
