If you don't mind laying out some money try WordPerfect Corps'
DrawPerfect. It may be one ot THE underrated packages around. It is a
simple but very effective drawing program which is as similar re look
& feel to WP51 as possible. I have developed several nice graphics
with it and recommend it. Unfortunately, I don't have time to
experiment nearly as much as I would like to.
BTW Can anybody else out there help me with a related query? I would
like to know if there is a source of good quality clip art over the
network, preferably in .WPG format, but any other major format (which
DrawPerfect can translate) will be appreciated.
Thanks

Time is such a valuable commodity because they're not making it any more.
