   I want to buy software to do flyers, short manuals and newsletters.
   I have been using word 5.1, but I don't like the way it handles large
   tiff and eps files.  Would a low end dtp product like personal press
   or publish it easy handle what I want to do, or do I need to use
   Something like Pagemaker or QuarkXPress?  On the low end, which is
   better personal press or publish it easy? Are there others I should
   consider?  Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have Personal Press 2.0, but it's not in front of me right now, so I can't
answer all of your questions.  However, I can warn you that it does have bugs,
some of which are rather serious.  On at least 2 occasions, it actually lost
pieces of my document.  I have since learned to be *very* careful with it.  I
make frequent backup copies of my document, just in case.  And I no longer type
ahead while doing any file I/O, because I was doing that one of the times it
lost stuff.  I don't remember about the other time(s).

It has other less serious but still annoying bugs.  Its screen updates are
often sloppy and/or incomplete.  Character, line, and paragraph formatting are
flaky and often unpredictable, although persistence on my part has always been
able to overcome the problem.

Personal Press is a nicely featured program, and it does about everything that
a low-end publisher needs.  I just wish that Aldus had finished debugging it
before they shipped it.  If I had to buy another package, I would take a close
look at any alternatives.
