<<Publisher has maybe 10% of the
tools required to actually "publish.">>

Yep, I have it cuz I teach it at the senior center where they have a
ball making greeting cards, etc. with it...and that's what MS should
promote it as, IMO, and NOT as a desktop publishing program and
CERTAINLY not something to use to make web pages.....eeeeeeeek!!

And that was not a slur against senior centers.....I love teaching at
these places!!  And one of my favorite things to teach them is
Publisher....they love it!

Better yet, why ruin a good thing, maybe they should just get out and
stay
out of the "Publishing" business altogether.
Concentrate on refining (used loosely) what they have now.  Why be a
handyman, when you have the power to be a specialist?  I have publisher
only
because the school children use it for doing newsletters for school.
Otherwise I use a "real" publishing program.  Publisher has maybe 10% of
the
tools required to actually "publish."
I'm sure it is the same for the rest of the population.

Ahhh, Publisher....yet another bugaboo

When will MS realize they need to make some desktop publishing software
that can compete with Quark?

I'm embarassed to even tell the DeskTop publishing whizzes that I even
own Publisher LOL

That has been my major complaint with DB oriented software in general.
Dian thinks I'm loony when I say it but I genuinely feel that DB apps
like Access are an attempt to make large amounts of data even more
unreadable. Even some phone book applications out there seem to be more
interested in getting the data than presenting a reasonable way to work
with it.

You've my sympathy, Glenda, but patience for the DB world is very well
exhausted in me.<g> And Linda, the Publisher folks think *they* are the
forgotten child.<g>
