My wife would like to be able to make some posters. For now, I'm limited to a 24 pin, dot matrix printer (Epson LQ-850). In the near future, I'm looking at going to a color desk jet (HP or Canon). Would I be better off getting a paint program (DPaint or Personal Paint) or going with a desktop publishing package. I can only afford one. The program must be extremely easy to use, or she won't bother. She wants to be able to integrate text and graphics (clip art). Would a word processor work? I have excellence!, but it won't let you wrap text around a graphic. Steve
