Scribus is the best than even Publisher, because Scribus support layers while MS Publisher does not. Scribus is one of my favorite Graphics Package although you can also use inkscape vector.<br><br>You can also prefer to implement local policy in your Microsoft PC, go to start>run> then type mmc which you can set some policies on your local pc...I know your running Microsoft Softwares in your environment so I advice to check-out on the best way of managing the specific pc from viruses than just running away from the problem.<br>

</div> Hi Yasini,<br>
<br>
You are absolutely correct, and that is a very reasonable reason<br>
not to run windows. Apologies if that was stated in your original<br>
mail as a motivation, and if I didn't pay attention :)<br>
<br>
It would therefore be best to attempt Wine/Crossover, and possibly<br>
learn Scribus.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Phil<br>
