1374277 2014-05-07 22:43:00 I sincerely doubt there are many NZ corporates using Google Docs

You're most probably right. Last I heard NZ was something like 93% small businesses (Under 20 people) so there's still a decent chance of people using it :D

1374278 2014-05-08 00:45:00 Still using Office 2007 Pro with a ****, along with Open Office. Between the two they're way more than I need. Greg (193)
1374279 2014-05-08 00:59:00 Just started teaching myself Publisher 2013, at SeniorNet. I want to be able to produce a decent newsletter.
I use Word and Excel 2007 at home. I didn't pay for it though. Equally as happy using Open Office too.

You have my condolences, lakewoodlady. I would not wish MS Publisher on anyone. It is probably the only layout program around that will not work with any other layout program on the market. It's also the one that most printers loathe.

Yes, it does work, but geez its horrible to use. I cut my teeth in QuarkXpress and then moved to Adobe InDesign starting at version 1.5
I'm currently on Adobe Creative Suite (the online pay as you go arrangement)

Good luck with your news letter design :thumbs:

1374280 2014-05-08 01:01:00 Yep, use it a fair bit. A couple of custom templates I have to use only work at all in office, and even then they don't exactly play nice. Nick G (16709)

Make sure you save as a PDF when you send out the newsletter, sending as a .pub file is a common mistake I see, as not everyone has publisher.

I couldn't live without it :)
