Reads and writes Word format extremely well. Cost: $0This is best if your layout needs are relatively simple. Unlike Word, it makes real and consistent use of styles which is a godsend once you hit more than a dozen pages.A more involved way that makes publishers happier is to use Scribus 1.0 (Linux); it's a true desktop publishing package and has support for prepress stuff as well as very nice PDF production.  As a 1.0 product it might be a little rough around the edges but it should be sufficient for 80% of the PDFs I see. Cost: $0</blockquote>
