A word regarding Word

[rolanni]

I would just like to say to the person in ITS who informed me that Microsoft Word is the Very Best Program for secretaries to lay posters out with, and, no, the college was not going to allow me to purchase a "lay Out pro GRAM" (pronunciation and emphasis original to the conversation) so I could do my job in a reasonable manner?

I'd just like to say to this person -- Word. Sucks. Very. Large. Rocks. And I hope your stock in MicroSmurf plummets.

Thank you.

A combination of Inkscape and Scribus are good bets. I helped a local friary get set up with this, and the brother I spoke with was very happy for the change. He had been laying out their newsletter with Publisher and he was not amused.
