Templates are available for all the apps mentioned, but the prominent Microsoft automation/mindreading, wizards and such, is largely absent when using Writer/Draw/Scribus. If you use Publisher’s templates, be prepared to do a lot more of the work yourself.
other material requiring advanced structure or graphical functionalityįor DTP work I often find it best to use a wordprocessor (Writer) for the content production, and then import my files into the DTP app. Limited support for pixel map graphics, 3D objects, special color handling. All graphical shapes support inclusion and formatting of text, inside the shape as well as along the line/contour. Linked frames for continuations/forwards. If you have many Publisher files that you need to open then OpenOffice is likely a great option (as BobTheFisherman suggests). The support for page styles makes it a lot better for this kind of work, compared to other wordprocessing software I have used. But LibreOffice goes further by enabling you to use a modern open standard, the OpenDocument Format (ODF). For newsletters and books, Writer is usually fine. What to use depends largely on the use case. While not a part of LibreOffice, it works well in conjunction with this suite. 
Scribus (not part of LibreOffice) is the go-to OpenSource DTP app. LibreOffice does not have a dedicated DTP app.
