I have all of the programs you mentioned, Spring Board pub is very very slow
(i have version 1.1 version 2 is supposed to be better) Publish-it is okay.
I would suggest you get appleworks 2.1 and timeout superfonts.  That way you
don't have to convert your files and you get to use a faster program than
the graphics orientied ones.  If you need 2 column formated text, get columnist
(which i uploaded to comp.binaries.apple2 awhile back) or a macro set for
ultra macros which will do all of the converting for you.
