Members LiveMusic Posted November 14, 2007 Members Share Posted November 14, 2007 I need to produce a program for a show, need to use something like Publisher for making boxes, text effects, etc. I have bought two versions of Publisher but haven't used it in years. I guess mine for Win95 or Win98 wouldn't work with WinXP. Anything free I could use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an early version on a dual boot PC that I'll drag out once in a while to re-print something that's already complete and can't be changed to another format or imported into another program. For free, you might see if "Scribus" will work with a Windows OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a genuine page layout application, but for a one-off deal you can probably manufacture a passable result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daklander Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 Just had the chance to have a look. The MS Publisher I have is Publisher98 and it works fine running XP or Win2K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
