Meanwhile, my niece has been exposed to Microsoft Publisher at school :-(

Before the Software For Students deals, Publisher was a stupefyingly expensive package to buy for home practice
use, and hence was pirated about widely.

One could argue it was hardly worth paying for...

Dunno, its quite adequate for say club newletters etc.

But so is PagePlus at a fraction of the price,

It costs peanuts off ebay.

And you are much more likely to be able to find
someone else who uses Publisher than PagePlus.

of for that matter any of the word processors from the last fifteen years or so. You can probably get copies of
Wordperfect or Lotus word pro free with air miles these days ;-)

Plenty of free copies of Publisher too.

And isn't a patch on Quark anwyay.

InDesign seems to be sweeping that away now... they rested too long relying on their position as "industry
standard"!
