Hi Wade, I am looking to replace MS Publisher with something less expensive and 
easier to get. I am pretty good using Publisher. Does Write work like Word or 
Publisher or a mix? I was looking for a specific product or something to move 
to.

I think Toki said a beginner to publishing, not a specific product.

Toki, check out http://fullcirclemagazine.org/  Its a linux mag but they talk 
about the tech they use to produce it. Write is one one of their tools. I think 
they even have a article series about publishing.

That is exactly what I can do in Publisher and what I need. Thanks Dennis.

I hesitate to query an expert, and I'm not sure exactly what you mean here.
But in OpenOffice Writer I can:
o Create two frames - which can be on unrelated pages, of course.
o Link the frames.
o Insert text into the first frame - which then flows into the other.
o Select the text (so in both frames).
o Insert a section with multiple columns. The single section contains all
the text and is divided between the linked frames.

Does that achieve what you describe?
