What are your recommendations for inexpensive, easy to learn and good (is this an oxymoron?)PC software to do newsletter, wrap around photo text, and different kinds of cards, such as business and greeting cards? I'm working with an Epson Stylus Photo 700. Your help is really appreciated.

For an inexpensive general purpose newsletter & greeting card package, you might consider Borderbund's PrintShop Deluxe, version 6, (or later?) (www.printshop.com) You can probably find it for under $50, with a rebate maybe $35 or less. It has nice templates for newsletters and cards and such. It will do calendars, postcards, brochures, labels, Business cards, certificates.

There's even software included that will let you master self- contained slideshows on CD, a photo organizer, and some web tools I have never used. Quite a bargain.

I agree with Printship Deluxe.....it is a quality program. Another good one is Microsoft Publisher.
