PagePlus 4 review

Verdict

Powerful, full-featured, loads of extras and very good value, but lacks some of the hand-holding that Publisher provides.

Review Date: 1 Dec 1996

Reviewed By: Phil Evans

Price when reviewed: (£100 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
5 stars out of 6

As with Publisher, printed documentation is minimal. There's a clip-art and font guide that's about an inch thick, and a Companion which introduces the product and gives some guidelines on what you can do with it, as well as explaining the concepts behind DTP. Unfortunately there's very little information given on how the program itself actually works.

If you're looking for a slightly more advanced DTP interface but don't want to cripple yourself financially by going for one of the more expensive packages, then PagePlus is a good buy. It doesn't have the Web publishing frills of Publisher, but for the professional or at least the pro-am user, it's a better choice.
