Re: [seul-edu] Linux DTP



Richard,
    I checked out the "Impress" program, supposedly DTP, and wanted to give a followup report. While the graphics capabilitites are excellent, as far as DTP it's just a basic program you might use to create cards and one-page flyers. The text capabilities are extremely limited -- just a few lines here and there, with no capability to make and link frames. It would be extremely hard to create anything like a newsletter or booklet with it.
    Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Hi

>    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.

You could take a look at
