[sb]

i've had the '07 trial, but now it's time to buy. i've heard '03 is better.??

Did you ask why that person thought 2003 was better? It's your money - what
did *you* think about 2007? Why do you want to purchase outdated software?

You've probably heard that from '03 users because they don't like the
fact that MS diddled with the menus in '07.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed with either version, but when I
decided to replace my Pub 2000, I decided to go with the most recent
version on principle alone.

Actually Publisher 2007 doesn't have the new ribbon.

True, but the Page Setup/Print Setup system has been diddled with (again).

I ain't gotta clue what you're talking about ;-)

True, but it's not as radically different as the ribbon is to the old
layout. I consider that a minor change. ;-)

I wish they had left the page and print setup alone. The page setup works, but
then the custom printer setup does not. Or the printer setup works, but the page
setup doesn't. HP did release some Vista drivers, but it didn't help.

I have boxes of 7 x 10 cards that I have used for years in Publisher, I cannot
get my printers to setup this size page in Publisher 2007. Publisher wants to
print on standard paper with crop marks.
