Most
SAGATUG members are aware of the fact that the Interface has been produced
using Microsoft Publisher. I had been
using MS Publisher 98 until a few issues ago.
Now I’m using Publisher
Deluxe with Photo Editing. There’s a big
difference between the two. Publisher 98
was not nearly as user friendly and easy to learn as this newer version. For some reason, Publisher 98 was different
from its sibling Windows software. I
often could not import text or graphics from other software or the Internet, so
I imported them into MS Word. Word will
import just about anything, so I formatted the text, and then imported it into
Publisher 98. Publisher Deluxe can not
only do that, but it also includes a photo editor.
One of the most notable
differences is that it works more like Microsoft Office, with the same
commands. However, while the new
Publisher Deluxe is much easier to use for importing text, as mentioned
above, occasionally I tried to import
text from a website. But instead of the
new text appearing where I wanted it in my Publisher Deluxe document, the page
went blank wiping out everything that was already there. However, as soon as I hit the “undo” toolbar
icon, everything went back to the way it was.
I haven’t figured out why it does that, but it does, so I just went back
to importing text via Microsoft Word.
Generally, a great
improvement, and faster too.
