WILLIAM25  Terrific software for home publishing or professional publishing. At $99, this software is a bargain and is every bit as good as InDesign or QuarkXpress (which costs hundreds of $$$$ more). The Oro version is costly but the Desktop version of MultiAd is just what the doctor ordered.  
(Version 7.0.5)

ZOEMS  I've worked with Creator since the late 80s. This is the program that should've been the "Quark-Killer" . The relatively new desktop version is a good program at only $100. Definately worth the price. There are some features missing that are included in the professional version ($500), but there are workarounds and the adverage user might not even miss them.  
(Version 7.0.1)

ROLAND  User friendly and there are features not seen from other layout programs. Great ad builder!   
(Version 6.5.7)

PETE RUSSELL  I've been a Creator fan for more than 10 years now. It's largely used in newspaper environs but it's much, much more powerful than just a ad-builder program. In fact, it's much easier to use than Quark and more intuitive. Typographically it's precision is also equal to InDesign.

Do yourself a favour and check out Creator, as it's a bargain. Okay, I hear you saying that no one uses it...well think again, as it's export features allow you to create EPS files and PDFs on the fly!

Creator's been my fiendishly fast friend for years and I think will remain my favourite DTP and ad makeup program.  
(Version 6.5.7)

WILLIAM  Solid, reliable, easy to use. As good as Quark but for far less at $149 for the desktop version.
