Jack –
If you are just starting out in the area of DTP you probably don't need
the High End packages (ProPage & Pagestream), but one good one is
PageSetter II by Gold Disk. It has almost all the features of ProPage
except Color, Kerning, and (I thinking)Postscript support. But seeing as
you mentioned that you were outputting to a 24wire dot matrix these
features probably aren't need.
Pagesetter retails for $129.00 and is an excellent value for what it can
do. I produce a club newsletter once a month using PPage and a 24 wire
STAR XB2410 – the end result is very good and very professional looking.
You can get the same results with Pagesetter. Pagesetter DOES use Gold
Disk's additional CG Fonts so you have a very good selection of fonts
available to you.
If you like, E-Mail me your mailing address and I will send you a copy
of our newsletter and some other samples that I have of DTP work with these
two packages.

For Jack's benefit. You can get PageStream for $130. from the mailorder
sources. I'm not getting how it's "high end". It may be too much program
for Jack's purposes, but the money is right…And most of us expand our
expectations when we get into something…PageStream is "a pain in the
port" in many ways but it can do a LOT and much of it well…
