Today I had to create a print ad for the XNET Fusion that we are promoting for World eXchange. I used to use MS Publisher for this sort of thing back when I thought Windows was the only option and even though I tried with earlier versions of Open Office I always got a little frustrated and would end up digging out my old Publisher Disks.
Well I have OO 3.0 now which is not even the latest version and it was just too easy.
The earlier versions of OO could not rotate stuff on the page which is the something that I often want to do in promotional material. No problem for OO draw now.
I also used to get frustrated with scaling stuff. It would be very jittery and snap to odd positions.
The point I am trying to make is that if you have tried OO and didnt like it maybe its time to give it another go.
