Well, the reason I asked is because I have Publisher 98. I was wanting to ask if there are enough differences between the newer versions and the one I have to warrant getting a new version. But it would have to be a stand alone version that I got because for some reason this time of year causes terrible budget problems. I am building a catalog, btw. Publisher 98 is getting the job done... but slowly and tediously. I realize that the task you are trying to accomplish would likely influence the decision.

In 2000 you did. * It's part of the OFFICE FAMILY...NOT the suite under most all circumstances. * It IS part of Office 2003 Small Business Edition...assuming a SOHO would want to publish their own letterhead, business cards, stationery, etc. * It is NOT part of Office 2003 Pro...as the general office user is assumed NOT to need it...so it is sold separately. -------------------------------------------- Dian D.
