Scribus is a nice publishing program. However, still not as advanced as other more professional programs like quark xpress and indesign. Scribus has the basis tools and features while quark and indesign have more advanced features. But still, it is open source and free! :)

@jasonscottpage no problem

Thanks for the demo.

i'm a teacher
i use it in a class to write a page for a newspaper
it's surely better than publisher for this goal, and the boys learned how to use it enjoing themself and finding a lot of ways to do a layout

Scribus is terrible. Clunky, confusing and annoying. I would rather pay for Indesign than use a free thing that is as annoying as this. I tried it several times on different computers. Sorry, some freeware is great. I am very pro open source software but Scribus and other open source software don't even come close to replacing InDesign.

Freeware != Free Open Source Software

ok scribus is great but WHERE ARE THE TEMPLATES? Come one does anyone still release software without templates or some sort of a wizard?

Scribus is designed and marketed to mimick the features and behaviors of a professional layout program such as QuarkXpress or InDesign.
Scribus is not akin to MS-Publisher, nor is MS-Publisher or the like used in the industry.

Ok I'm starting on Scribus, no previous DTP experience.
If I want to print at Kinko's or OfficeMax,what file type is best to output the final work.

print to PDF. If scribus does not export or print to pdf (maybe a plugin required), install something like PrimoPDF (freeware).
