  Excellent publisher for average user

  by: greytop on 30-Apr-2008 05:34:34 AM

  Pros: Fast, easy and intuitive free programme. Beats dedicated photo publishers hands down with ability to import, rotate and print multiple pictures on a page. Thanks Serif.

  Cons: Minor hiccup: export to .JPG doesn´t seem to work although save as .BMP did.

  This product is powerful enough for professional use! Love it!

  by: dstin1 on 08-Nov-2005 09:22:25 AM

  Pros: I like all the easy steps they've provided in organizing the layout process - one click to get the right font for the right space; the change bar to give you all the stats you need on each page to line it exactly with the other pages; the color groupings and etc. For the mid-level user, this is awesomely FREE! Haven't had the opportunity to use the upper end desktop publishing programs that are out, so can't compare - but it sure beats Microsoft Pub and some of the other programs I've tried. A business can easily use this and get most everything they need to produce publications, brochures and etc.

  Cons: Graphics available. While way different than MS Pub. in style (thank goodness) they are very limited in offering business-type graphics. That's easy to overcome. I'm sure this program has it's limitations, I just haven't had the occasion to discover them yet.

  Serif PagePlus SE 1.0 + OpenOffice.Org 2.0 = Microsoft Office Annihilated

  by: electriic_ink on 06-May-2006 07:39:37 AM

  Pros: This product combined with OpenOffice nullifies the need to pay for an office suite.

  Word => Writer

  Excel => Calc

  Access => Base

  Powerpoint => Impress

  Publisher => Serif Pageplus SE 1.0

  Obviously only the last comes with this download but still I'm so happy :)

  Also, comes with a great deal of templates which are availible to download from

  freeserifsoftware.com/software/pagePlus/design_packs.asp?navProduct=pageplus#2

  It's companies like Serif who deserve a big THANK YOU

  Cons: Unlike OpenOffice, no compatibility for the M$ version. IE: Don't expect to be able to open/save publisher files with this application.

  The aforementioned con is almost neglibile as I rarely have to transport publisher files

  This is an EXCELLENT starter program!!

  by: VoniBear on 15-Nov-2006 06:32:02 PM

  Pros: I love the change bar & the auto fit. I use this program to produce a monthly newsletter and find it to be very user friendly. I also have PagePlus 9, but am just as happy with the PagePlus SE and it is for free!! I tell all my friends about it. I much prefer using it over Publisher!!

  Cons: I'm sure there is something, but I sure can't think of it!
