Re: [seul-edu] Linux DTP

Kevin,

    Even though I've heard the name Star Office before, I've never tried it. (I don't know anybody else in my area who even has Linux, let alone Star Office.) I had assumed that the word processor part of it was like WordPerfect, which, while it's a good word processor, doesn't let you work with multiple frames per page, linking and autoflowing frames, etc. I will give Star Office a try.

    Thanks,

What's the matter with StarOffice? StarWriter has most of these features, doesn't it?

To Anybody:

    In my high school DTP class I am presently using the beta version of Framemaker. However, it expires 12/31. The academic purchase price after then is over $700. The principal already said no.

    I have no idea how I'm supposed to teach a DTP class without DTP software. I checked out the www.chilliware.net site Doug posted a few weeks ago, but their DTP product will not be shipped until January. I'm trying to get a demo.

    Meanwhile, If anybody is going to Comdex, please keep you eyes open for DTP demos, promos, etc. I will gladly pay shipping, handling, etc.

Thanks, .
