Good Points
I started using PagePlus 11 on the recommendation of a friend to design my wedding invitations and get them printed properly by a print house. I had ocassionally used the industry standard programs through work but couldn't afford them for my home PC and found PagePlus the ideal alternative.
Bad Points
I can't really think of any - I'm sure it's not as advanced as the industry standard programs but then most people don't need it to be anyway and PagePlus is more affordable.
General Comments
I would definitely recommend PagePlus to anyone looking for desktop publishing software. I used some of the templates, which are easy to follow and customisable, to get ideas and the basis for my invitations and worked through some of the tutorials to become more familiar with the program. I found it much easier to use than the industry standard programs I'd dabbled with at work and the results I achieved were brilliant. The interface is really straightforward and there's a context toolbar so you can adjust properties of the selected tool without having to go through the menus, which saves time.
