(Does it have to be "free" as in zero cost?) As far as DTP features go I'd recommend PageStream. http://www.grasshopperllc.com Other than low-end DTP work, don't use MS Publisher for anything else. My wife's boss insisted their simple web site be done in publisher. It looked OK, but I wondered why it took so long for the pages to load. I looked at the html and discovered that when Publisher exports to HTML it generates horribly bloated HTML and unnecessarily converts some text boxes to bitmaps. I rebuilt their web site using straight HTML and the new version was about 1 percent of the size of the Publisher version. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
