• Promising but...

  Pros

  Wide variety of templates available, some of which are quite good

  Cons

  Product doesn't appear to be supported now, with the website out of date, templates marked as only working with version 3.0 but I downloaded 4.0, so will they work or not? The included templates aren't enough for me as I'm a pro' writer

  Summary

  They call it "professional" yet the system appears aimed at a single company. For example you HAVE to input an email address in your "profile", which isn't much use if you're like me and will be creating documents for clients. (You can over-ride this though, because later if asks if you want to use your profile or not) My impression of the templates available was that while imaginative and reasonable quality, they seem a little dated and stale. The standard software is about $70 but if you want anything interesting such as white paper, that will cost you another $20 - and no guarantee they'll work, as the website says they are for 3.0 only The site also makes no mention of Windows 7, which is a bit offputting. Overall I think this was probably a good product that has been allowed to wither. I'm not willing to risk the cash on the off-chance the white paper templates will be good and will work with this version and will then work with Windows 7. They probably would be OK but the site appears neglected, which raises the question of support as well. Have to give it a miss I'm afraid

  Pros

  Could not install.

  Cons

  Could install. Need a mininum of 32MB of ram. I guess 3G are too much.

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  When running the PDF process on a very simple Excel spreadsheet the program crashed Excel. When using the Watermark feature on a Word document that has existing header/footer, errors occurred. The TOC doesn't work consistently. Not impressed, PDF functionality seemed limited by comparison.

  There are much better products available at lower cost - very misleading advertising.
