Hi,

I was wondering if anybody out  there  has  had  experience  with
these  so-called  "desktop  publishing"  packages,  and what they
thought of them. The ones I've heard of  are  PageMaker,  MacPub-
lisher I and II, and ReadySetGo.

Our group is considering acquiring one of these  for  preparation
of  reports,  papers,  presentations etc. I don't think we'd need
some of the more advanced features of these packages; we're look-
ing  for a more flexible means of laying out text and graphics on
a page than is available in, say, Word.

Please respond via email for suggestions and/or comments.

Thanks.
