Does this program open Publisher 3.0 files? I know the Publisher 3.0 is just a rebranded version of Serif PagePlus. Is it backward compatible? Thanks.

I can't answer the question because I am having a very difficult time figuring how to use this software all together!

Whether or not an upgrade is worthwhile depends greatly upon your document requirements. X7 is the first version of WP to allow more than 9 documents to be open at once. I have opened as many as 18 documents without problem. The ebook publisher now does Epub format in addition to mobi. X7 also enhances the ability to publish a WP document to HTML keeping its formatting. X7 also intoruduces new shipping macros that enhance some aspects of the functionality. I personnally like the favourites macro that allows you to easily access frequently used documents from a toolbar menu. All of these features have been stable for me and work quite well. On the whole I like X7 better, but whether or not you need any of the new features enough to upgrade is up to you..

I have great results with the "Repetier" software. The typical problem is "homing" the printer. For this I found useful to get familiar with the basic G-Code homing codes. Note that there are two types: (a) the ones that move the printer to its home position and then (b) the ones that tell the printer that now it is a the "0.0" position. What I found confusing at the beginning is that after you have invoked the (a) commands, the printer does not assume to be at the "0.0" position, and therefore you need to use the (b) commands. For (a) look at the G28 code in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code. Make sure that you can use these codes first, from the manual commands window in Repetier. Hope this helps. This is a great printer. I managed to get prints of similar quality to the Makerbot 2X. It requires however, like most 3D printers, a bit of tinkering; which after all is part of the fun of it.

Yes, I am working with it and had no problems. I just installed it a few weeks ago, following the procedure in the manual, then the firmware was automatically updated and then connected to the computer with the drivers and apps previously installed from the cd. I printed from word, open office, gimp, illustrator, chrome, adobe reader, and all of them worked fine, I am using it with a usb cable but because I need to test large heavy graphics, but the speed when printing wireless was as fast as usb for letter size documents. The drivers are current. No compatibility problems or popups.

Microsoft discontinued selling stand-alone products such as Publisher; if you want it you will need to get the entire package (rather expensive) which, incidentally, no longer comes on a CD hence is almost impossible to install by yourself. I can't address the compatibility - I just don't know. In the end it was a very expensive lesson for me. I wish you the best of luck!

I just purchased this new version but I have publisher 98 and I still installs over and over again and runs fine on windows 8. Office I upgrade software every 4-5 years and , I upgrade computers around every 2 years and all my Microsoft software reinstalls.

Hi, Anybody have trouble with the software aspect? I am running into trouble with the driver intalls, in particular the DLLs, and the worst is driver CNMBR333, even with the updated drivers. I already email tech suppport and they responded quickly but their solution didnt work. I wont hear again till tommorow but since so many others here are enthused about what is definitley a quality printer that even make standard paper printouts seem like photo paper, I though maybe someone with a bit more experience with install issues might be able to help.Thank You Regardless

3.0 is a newer version, hasn't been sitting on the shelf as long. Both are discontinued.

The bundled software is Presto Pagemanager 9, from NewSoft. NewSoft has a fairly highly regarded OCR product, but as this short review notes, the OCR in Pagemanager does not seem to be as good. Personally, I haven't used the OCR function, but I use scan to multi-page pdf on a daily basis and that's pretty bullet proof.

In theory yes. I use Manga Studio, Krita, and GIMP. Between those three, the .psd file conversion has no flaws I've found. The real test is how they handle fonts between the two programs. I have no Photoshop, so I cannot verify if it works or not. Just make sure to save images you want to work on between the programs as .psd and IN THEROY, it should work just fine.

Tony, You can save files from Publisher 2003 into the 2012 software but you can't save the 2010 into the 2003. I prefer to work with Publisher over Word because it's easier to use and is user friendly.

I am using an older version of Express Scribe that is free. What version of Windows are you using?

I use Open Office instead of windows and as long as I save as ppt then I can use it. I have had success with PDF files as well as long as you switch to mouse and toggle over arrows, after the first slid you just hit the toggle to advance slide. I haven't tried other file types though. It does work with new and older versions of windows though. It's very easy to use - I love mine and highly recommend this clicker. I've tried others and have always been disappointed so I splurged and got this one. It was worth every penny.

Myself don't have an older version of Print Artist, but P.A. does have the capabilities to import files from other similar programs. Hope that helps.

The brochure says that Newsoft Presto Page Manager is not compatible with 10.5 Leopard. Do you need that to scan to PDF? That's the main task I'd be using this for, but if there's no compatible 10.5 Leopard software, I don't want to buy it. Thanks

I am just a casual user of Word and Publisher. The advantage of keeping with the version that you are currently using is that you probably are familiar enough with it that you know how to do what you need to do. Every upgrade has enough changes to the user interface that it is a pain to have to learn how to the same results with the new version. The only time I upgrade is when the people that I interface with upgrade. I upgraded to Publisher 2007 when the printer that I work with upgraded and no longer supported my previous version. So my advice is to not upgrade unless you have a specific reason to do so. With a new computer I always go with the latest version just because it usually also has an upgraded operating system and I will be having to learn all over again how to do even simple things anyway. If you are sharing files with others, you may need to upgrade just for compatibility.

I think you can only get it included with WP X7. I called Corel, asking about the add-on and they sent me to a non-existent page. Methinks the ebook publisher is no longer available because it is included in SP7
