Does Microsoft want customers to use this
program? To open the package took
an hour. [Special tamper-proof clear
plastic.] Preparing copy was no
problem,
as I had years of experience with the Word Star
program on earlier computers,
preparing books, newspaper copy and graduate student
dissertations.
I had difficulty editing, fitting articles into a
column and making other
corrections. No doubt,
lack of experience with the program contributed to my
frustration.
A problem arose just before deadline, when my
printer jammed. It would’ve cost
more to repair it than to buy a new one. I could find no
one who had Publisher 2002
in his/her computer, so corrections could not be
made. This meant that the
first draft had to be used. I cannot understand why
Microsoft does not find
it practical to make the new program compatible with
Publisher 2000.
Within a week, I bought a new printer, but too
late. For me, Publisher 2000
is OK [I prefer version 2000.]
