Free "Publisher" type prog available?

[Guest John]

My friend doesn't have Publisher but her daughter is using Publisher for a

school project.

 

Is any similar programme available for a free download that will enable her

to tweak her project at home?

AFAIK only Publisher will open and write to Publisher files. And AFAIK,

there is no free version of MS Publisher available. You have to buy it.

I'm not sure what the purpose of that link was, but learning any of

those programs is a pretty steep learning curve just to "tweak"

programs; or if Studio would even open them.

 

Unfortunately I don't think you'll find any freebie Publisher like

programs, or at least not ones that will open & allow editing of

Publisher files. It's completely propietary and hard to find out

anything about.

 

However, is she is a student, MS does have student editions of Publisher

for almost reasonable prices, and they can be downloaded in the form of

trial versions to get a quick start with it.
