[stylist] Publishing/editing software

Bridgit,

The Power Point thing  at this point is speculative, though I did get 
one again in the email from a supplier and I think there' ssimpley is 
a user  navigation breakdown :). I need to first learn the key 
strokes  and layout of the screens, but at this point motivation is 
more on the other topic. As long as I know PPT is doable, I'm fine 
with it for now.   Yes the structured layout for various works. You 
know,  resume's are laid out differently than blog text or articles, 
though a poor example as there are several ways of laying out 
resume's. But that is the gist, it'd be good to see sample works of 
as many different kinds so I can go back and examine them. I learn 
best by example, even in conversation I need examples  for example hhahaha.
Thanks.

Brad
