Another nice flowchart package is Micrografx FlowCharter (now Optima
Flow). The available options, import/export filters, and the ability to
do a keyword search on your clip art/graphics pallete (using Media
Manager) make it a great asset.
>CorelDraw - can't remember
I use Corel Draw and really enjoy the flexibility of the tools. There
are also very good export and import filters.
>MicroGrafx Designer - can't remember
Excellent program for technical layout.
Corel PhotoPaint and Micrografx Picture Publisher are also good
photo-editing programs.
