MS Publisher
My SO called me up while my dad and I were finishing-up on car’s tune-up. Apparently, she was having trouble doing some layout parts in MS Publisher, which I didn’t have and never used.
After the tune-up, and lunch, I went back home and did some research and finally figured out what she was trying to do. Afterwards, I tried to discuss with her on how to do it. It was rather confusing, not because what she was trying to do was all that hard, but because I didn’t know anything about MS Publisher.
My only background in print and publishing software was NewsMaster (and those old greeting card making software), and very little PageMaker. After PageMaker, I had very little idea on how publishing software evolved. I did hear that the in-thing to use was Adobe InHouse, and I knew that MS Publisher was a similar product, but that’s it. Apparently, my SO was having trouble ‘coz she was used to using an old version of MS Publisher, and the new version handled what she wanted to do differently.
Based on my research, things seemed pretty consistent with similar layout options in MS Word and such, but I guess the old Publisher was quite different. Given this, I’d probably struggle myself if I used the old version.
Now, if only I could start figuring out Adobe Photoshop…
