I learned DTP with ProPage, and I like the degree of control it gives me, although the program can be frustrating at times. A while back I set up a system for a restaurant that would be using Microsoft Publisher on a Windows based machine. It's a entry- to medium powered DTP program. Fiddling around with it, I was amazed at how simple it made many tasks . . . like putting a graphic border around a text box, for instance, or getting the prices on menu items to all line up at the end of a string of dots, like this: Salmon . . . . . . . . . $ 14.95 Snapper . . . . . . . . . 7.95 etc. . . . It lacks many of the "fine-tuning" controls that I take for granted in PPage, but for simpler printing jobs I find myself reaching for that DOS PC . . . I'd recommend that you pick up a copy and see ways of making 80% of the most common DTP operations one-step instead of multi- step. -Roger
