We have a graphics person here who has PhotoShop on his PC. I guess he could
get by with Paint and PhotoEditor, but no one questions his need for a
higher-level software to do his job. Luckily, they also feel that a writer
deserves a professional package too.

Ola,
That has to be the best argument for Frame over Word that I have seen to
date! By the same token, I suppose engineers could manage to use Word's
drawing capabilities for their drawings, but it would certainly tie their
hands behind their back. Word is a powerful program with some good
capabilities, but it isn't always the best software for the job.
I'm going to save your e-mail in case I ever need to justify Frame. Your
statement about Paint and PhotoEditor is hard to argue with.
Have a great day!
Donna
