Depends on how you tell them. "You ought to do it this way" doesn't
work, obviously. "Here's another way of doing what you want, may be
easier for you" usually does.

Try Opening the file with the free LibreOffice.
It worked for me.

There is a sample Publisher file here.

https://cdn.online-convert.com/examp...ub/example.pub

Pull it into your copy of LibreOffice and
tell us what you think. Is it preserving
the look and feel ? Can you do anything
useful in there ?

I've tried it here.

Yes it's looks good here.
You can probably do anything in Libre Draw that Publisher can.
You'll have a little learning curve.

formatting and alteration.

EG, have you tried to simply convert a PDF page of
dense text into two columns? Nobody knows how!
Yet MS Word does it in a two steps.


use the proper tools and it's no steps. the computer does it for you.



I've never figured it out. I've given up in
despair!

So then.., why not just design for those people in MS Word???

Because he's not as intelligent as you are;* His IQ is 19; your IQ is

Lest the blind lead the blind, I point out that
Publisher has a better "table" formation, and
allows greater flexibility in moving pictures
around the cells.* Better Text Box too.

MSWord cannot seem to form a 4-cell table where
the margins go to the ends of the sheet, but
Publisher does.

My customers are all out to save money on label
printing for their short-run deliveries.* These
labels are of thin PET "laser" stock (A4) lanced
to 16/8/4/2 per A4 sheet, and work well in color
laser printers.* They do not wrinkle in damp
weather.

Commercial printing companies want runs of 500 or
more, and this is impossible with hundreds of
label types.** With the above system the customer
is burdened with stock of but one A4 sheet.

My preference is to use MS Excel or LO Calc. Excel has more granular
control positioning images/shapes/objects than Calc does, but both offer
superior 'table' layouts over the other components of MSO/LO hands down!

Note that anything you do in either spreadsheet app can easily be dropped
into their respective word processing counterpart without loss of quality
or content by either linking or embedding.

Good luck,


I've been using Avery's label products/software for about 20 years. Awesome
stuff for available label templates.

I do custom labels design more than standard, mostly on clear full-size sheets
which get cut out using a plotter since they are usually irregular shape. Using
a spreadsheet configured like graph paper makes designing very easy; -
embedding the design in a word processor is just for client convenience for
their own printing. I can print or plot up to tabloid size paper; - printer has
pass-thru capability (HP7610).


I use Avery stock for business-card printing.
They're way too expensive for everything else.

Seems VistaPrint is even cheaper when you compare qty/ink/card costs.

FWIW: (beyond the scope here)
I used to use Avery stock for address/product/shipping labels during the
80's/90's but when the custom label designing took off it demanded more
decal-like media and so clear labels and adhesive-backed vinyl became the
standard materials that clients wanted. Finding sizes was the main challenge
and so large sheets and/or rolls became common inventory simply due to them
being most convenient.

Common label stock is pre-cut to label size; my custom decals got cut-to-form
on a plotter which eventually evolved to using a 3-axis 40x60 cnc table for the
sheet/roll stock.
