Platform PC/Windows
Description I have always gone between MS Publisher, which I keep a current version of, and Print Shop, which I find the graphics much easier to use, as well as the page layouts. I print my own business cards, a new one every 50 or so and all my greeting cards as well as Xmas tags, and recently some CD covers and light switch plate covers. I also do a brochure for the dog boarding/training kennel where I work.
Tips/Advice Alway start with programs that do the things you are interested in. If they don't hold your interest, you won't learn all the ins and outs of using your software to it's fullest.
