    What exactly does Quark Express do? Maybe then I might be able to help :p

    I went to the website but it didn't tell me what it did, it just kept yelling at me about buying it for ONLY $899 :blah:


    I think somebody went cahoots on my sig while I was away . . .

    I didn't put that last bit in there . . . .

    I know it's down.. If it was changed why didn't they just remove it from my sig altogether. . ?

    Hmmm.....

    Ah okay, well I'm not sure, but I believe KOffice has a publisher of sorts. Although that'll need Linux, and if your using MS Publisher . . . ?

    Maybe www.openoffice.org has what you are looking for, and also comes in a Windows flavor.

    Sorry I can't be much more help than that.
