When I worked at the DCC for a while, I had to use Publisher (I think it 
was version 2003). This is all that the admin staff seem to have for 
doing pre-production DTP work. Staff who have to design their own 
posters, newsletters and other publications have to use this and then 
email the files to the publishing / printing arm of the DCC for production.

Having just started using Scribus, I would say this is much easier / 
quicker once you get used to it.
