I'm pretty happy with Draw as a desktop publishing program, even though it's not the best one out there. It seems to have a good balance between features and usabiity. I'd rather lay out documents in Draw than Inkscape, and I'd rather draw in Draw than Scribus. The missing feature that would make the most difference for me, would be the ability to flow text from one frame to another. It shouldn't be hard to add it, because that functionality is already in Writer. There is already an issue to add this feature, which I've voted on in the past. In my opinion, this is really the only piece missing to be able to use Draw as a reasonable desktop publisher. > My tiny recommendation so far is changing the shape of the default page > something other than A4 (I've already discussed the full reasons in another > post) to stop confusion with a DTP. I like A4 (or letter) as the default. When I'm using Draw to create a document I'm going to print, it makes sense. And when I'm creating a drawing that I'm going to paste into another document, the paper size doesn't matter. If the defaults changed to something else, I'd just change them back. By the way, I had a quick look at your (very empty) website, Cyroxamp, and you seem to have a flair for the artistic. Well done! Adrian
