Having been an original Pagemaker and Corel, I'm so glad to see Serif attacking these markets. But I wanted to pass on some of my experience from the past. Most major applications feature one of two "key" object types. For DTP it's linking columns which can run over multiple pages. For Illustration programs, it's a bezier bounded, filled shape. By adding these objects types to a different application, you can take over that applications function. We've seen this with Photoshops support for bezier splines and thus lessening the need to Illustrator. I witnessed the same thing with CorelDraw and Pagemaker. CorelDraw would handle illustrations and Pagemaker, page layout. However, by the addition just two features into CorelDraw, I stopped using Pagemaker all together and could use Draw for everything. This being multiple pages and linked columns. For Serif, if they would add multiple pages and linked text columns, there would be little need for a separate Publisher application. Dave Edwards
