Since I switched from Windows and MS Office to linux ten years ago I have not needed to use Adobe Indesign or Pagemaker for layout, but my layouts (since then) have mostly been plain text book layout, with the exception of a few 32 page illustrated brochures, which OO Writer handled well.

Try OO, it is free.

Swift Publisher belongs to BeLight Software and it is a best alternative for Microsoft Publisher.

However I would also recommend iStudio Publisher which is also a great alternative.

Enrich text and images with state-of-the-art effects, import photos, and print to nearly any format.

Whether youre a team of one or a team of five, our brand templating platform makes it easy to create content and build your brand in the new design democracy.

There is nothing to download, no licensing fee, and youll always have the most up-to-date version automatically.

Whether you need text from a Google Doc or a photo from Facebook or Dropbox, you can import it directly into Lucidpress.

Use our Indesign Import feature to import existing InDesign files and convert them to Lucidpress templates.

If this option isnt available, you can use an online file converter such as Zamzar to convert the Publisher file to a PDF or Word file.
