Scribus is a free desktop publishing application that's been compared to InDesign, much like The GIMP has been compared to Photoshop and OpenOffice compared to Microsoft Office. It's free and powerful. However, if you've never used professional page layout applications, it can be a bit overwhelming when you first open it up and try to create something. Scribus tutorials may not be quite as plentiful as those for InDesign or QuarkXPress but they are out there. I've rounded up some that I think you may find useful in getting up and running quickly with Scribus.
Have you tried Scribus? What do you find most difficult about learning or using the program?
Thank you so much.
this site has been so wonderful and helpful. i will definitely be coming back again and again.
