Yes, I downloaded the Windows XP free 60-day trial version of MS
Publisher, and ran it in my Windows XP VMware session, which runs on my
laptop under FC6.  It has long since expired, but is still installed.

sending me the .pub file, but was clueless as to how to have sent me a
PDF of it instead, after all, we were critiquing what he had done, not
modifying it.
