Exactly. The price immediately doubled as soon as Microsoft bought it. A half-assed attempt to Officeize it was made, so it acts kinda like Office, and kinda like something else. It is slow running under Windows, and practically unusable under Win4Lin. (For reference, this was a 550 MHz PIII with 256 MB of RAM.) As far as the program itself goes, it is pretty nice. I sometimes find myself fighting the UI, but I suspect that is because I haven't RTFM from cover-to-cover like I should have. The huge collection of artwork it comes with is, of course, the major bonus feature -- to the point where finding what you are looking in the haystack for becomes an obstacle! -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
