Do Use PagePlus Primarily:
As a Freelance DesignerMy Review
I create multi-page newsletters with ease using images and text. Saving the newsletters as PDF lets me include hyperlinks for my readers. Greeting cards are so much fun to make using the layers and exact positioning controls.
I have used Publisher and ADobe products in the past, and can incorporate images from Photoshop into PagePlus4, gaining the best of both worlds; Publisher-not so much.
The learning curve of Page Plus is just above flat: if you can use a word processor you can use PagePlus4 the day you install it. It has become my word processor, displacing Word Perfect and Word.
