I have recently come across a need for a Desktop Publisher for both home and personal use. I have just begun checking into the multitudes of Desktop Publishers available and have been overwhelmed by the number and price ranges available. Before I start investigating into each and every one of these, I would like to get some feedback, pro and/or con, for whatever Desktop Publisher anyone owns and/or uses. If this is a rehashed topic, then I beg your patience, and please email responses. If this is a new topic, please post responses. I think this is a useful query. Thanks in advance. -- Bob Jackson (rdj@ttrde) 312-982-3578 AT&T Information Systems Computer Systems Division, 5555 Touhy Ave., Skokie, IL 60077 PATH: ...!ihnp4!ttrde!rdj

It can merge documents and drawings (both bitmapped and 'object oriented'), from an incredible number of sources, including all the popular word processing and 'paint' type programs, and is designed to run under Microsoft Windows, although that is *not* a requirement. All things considered, PageMaker and a laser printer (of HP quality or better) can produce some outstanding publications.
