2.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money!, September 20, 2002

I recently purchased this item thinking it would be much better than the previous versin I had (#12). The problem here is there is hardly no diference. There is not as many graphics. You have to go online to get the graphics if you want them. And also, when you start the program, it tries to automatically connect to the internet. I think version 12 was much better and has almost all the same features as this new version and a lot more graphics on the CD's without having to go to the internet. Personally, if you're satisfied with version 12, there is no need to waste money on this new version.

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Software - Does edit photos, March 27, 2003

This is terrible software. I gave it two stars because it does edit photos and I needed that feature, but, overall I am very sorry that I spent my money before looking at these reviews.

The interface is AWFUL! For example, if you want to add a rectangle you would think you would just click on a rectangle tool and draw it. Nope! Instead you click on "Insert Shape", then you get a dialog box of possible shapes. You have to select the shape you want and the color in this dialog box. Then you click OK. Now you have a rectangle that you can reshape.

The Wizards are OK, but the designs are very lame and unprofessional. The system creates some integrated letterhead and business cards, but you wouldn't want to use them.

I bought this ... figuring, ...how much worse can it be than Microsoft Publisher 2000? Afterall, this isn't rocket science. The answer was MUCH worse!

1.0 out of 5 stars Is there an award for Worst Software Imaginable?, January 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Print Shop Pro Publisher Deluxe 15 (CD-ROM)

This is great if you want to send a note to your Aunt Helen. Anything more substantial and it is full of quirks and bugs. Huge Waste of Money----the programmers should be lined up and shown the door or preferably worse.
