4.0 out of 5 stars Proper review, August 23, 2010

By 

Matthew Moats (LYNNWOOD, WA, US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Serif PagePlus Essentials [Download] (Software Download)

I'd give this about 3.5 stars normally, however i gave it an additional .5 due to an illiterate reviewer that gave it a one star review. Instructions for a free program?...gee gosh, what a rip.

My reasoning for 3.5 stars is that the program has a large selection of graphics available, however, it seems to be the less than sterling "office clipart" grade. For a free program, of course it's worth it, and don't get me wrong, you could make a great looking product with this, it's just easier with something a bit higher grade. Perfect for casual invitations, fun flyers, giving something a little more edge that a 20 point black and white page.

The learning zone is a great asset for beginners!

Product key is listed on product report page after download. There's a little yellow button that is labeled "product key." Its too bad that first guy couldn't find it. If you can find it, try hitting ctrl+F to use the find function, then type in "product key" and it will highlight the spot on the webpage where you can go to find it.

This is a good free product. Easy to download and install. Product key is prompted after download. First reviewer was not awake when he gave it an unfairly low mark. This is a typical stripped down publishing program. It's decent and it's free.
