3.0 out of 5 stars Marketing Plan Pro 4.0 Review, July 10, 2001

By A Customer

Marketing Plan Pro 4.0 is an excellent software that help you write a marketing plan. It gives you instructions and examples that you can follow.

Unfortunately, it seems that the program does have its problems with regards to: formating tables and graphs; exporting into Word; importing file; general text formating; adding new tables and linking it to a new graph; etc.

It has been an absolute WASTE OF TIME typing and entering data into Marketing Plan Pro 4.0. It is better to follow their ideas and type everything in Word. Because the program would be used ONLY as a guide, a book on how to write a plan could be better and cheaper!

3 stars only because of the examples. Otherwise, 1 star.
