Hey there. Absolutely love the translation to mac. It's beautiful. But what do you suggest for those adobe products that are very home-ec type for creating birthday cards, signs, ect. I tried doing this in word, but it won't let me position images anywhere (or text or anything for that matter) overlapping each other. What about Adobe Elements? I'm goign to get that in the bundle with the pen I'm getting, and wondered if that was the thing I was looking for. Or if there was a way to overlap and reposition stuff in word or something like that. (I have Office 2004)

    If you want to make creative greeting cards take a look at EasyCard, look on VersionTracker.com or MacUpDate.com. It's a really great program for creating very professional greeting cards of all types.

    The Print Shop may fill the bill.

    How much control are you looking for? Print Shop is good for more ready-made layouts, as is Portraits and Prints. Something like Create is better for original work and more flexible design ideas.

    Ah ha! Thanks once again. I'm going to look into that EasyCard as far as cards go though. Thanks a million everyone!
