I need to draw on your experience with newsletters . . .
I'm helping a client set up an inhouse newsletter on a PC/Windows platform
and have recommended they use Pagemaker. However, their purchasing agent has
pointed out they can purchase Microsoft Publisher for $300 less and is
asking us to justify the additional cost of Pagemaker.
I've never used MS Publisher. Comments from colleagues are: "Gosh, I gave up
that program years ago! It's so limited." "NOBODY uses Microsoft Publisher!"
"I've never even heard of it - I guess that can tell you something about its
quality."
One person told me they thought MS Publisher would not let you re-size
photos. Someone else said the version they used several years ago would not
let you use text blocks of different widths on the same page. I consider
these to be significant limitations.
I would appreciate your comments on Microsoft Publisher as it compares to
Pagemaker.
Thanks for your help!
