Jim,

Corel 8 has just about moved into the world of true DTP.  In WP8 I can
point and click ANYwhere on the page and start typing at that spot, or
insert an object.  So by using different sized and shaped text boxes,
and by layering my pix and text, I can approximate most of the
features of PageMaker or MS Publisher.
