Free Mac Desktop Publishing

Saturday August 16, 2008
OpenOffice.org, although technically not desktop publishing software, makes my list of free options for Windows users. Now Mac-native versions of OpenOffice.org and the very similar StarOffice (not free but cheaper than Microsoft) are on the way giving Mac users a couple of free options for basic desktop publishing and heavy-duty word processing, presentation creation, and other tasks. Then there's also Scribus, another freebie for multiple platforms. Mac has some low-cost options too such as The Print Shop for Mac.

Mac users, what other free and low-cost desktop publishing software do you use?
