Most of the things you would need as far as page layout and graphic design can 
be done using a combination of Writer and Draw. There are quite a few 
drawbacks, however. A big one is color management; there isn't an easy way to 
work with multiple palettes or a special color scheme (especially if you need 
to do CMYK work). Also, it lacks things such as custom borders (esp. using 
clipart), template collections, and all those wizards that Publisher 
supports. Sometimes you just have to be creative...

Cheers,

Eron
