His primary interest would be in something that would allow him to do fairly simple file creation and editing, report generation, editing and printing (for school) and possibly some graphics (for banners, cards, invitations, etc.). I would be most appreciative to anyone who has used any of the currently available software packages for giving me their opinions (both pro and con) before we buy something. What would be ideal would be to find a good starter package that would allow my son to do most of what he wants with minimal time to learn how to use it. So, if you have any suggestions, advice, comments, etc., please post a reply. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond. Ron Byrd AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville, Il. rsbrd!ihlpy
