Adobe HomePublisher Makes Powerful Desktop Publishing Easy

Adobe HomePublisher offers a complete publishing solution for creating
professional-looking documents for the home and office. The program
includes more than 50 AutoCreate templates for laying out fliers,
brochures, labels, calendars, business cards, newsletters and more. These
"intelligent" templates enable users to automatically assemble
ready-to-print documents in minutes.

"Adobe HomePublisher has been a big help in successfully getting my company
off the ground," said Pat McElwee, founder of Life Space Concepts in
Ithaca, New York, a consulting firm specializing in life care decisions
for the elderly. "I often use the AutoCreate templates in HomePublisher to
quickly select and create the type of document I want. Then, I can print
out just the amount I need, without having to place a large order from a
commercial printer."

Adobe HomePublisher simplifies the process of designing personal or
business projects by automating several features and providing easy-to-use
controls for formatting. The AutoFlow feature automatically adds pages to
accommodate the length of any placed text. The program's enhanced Text
Ruler provides improved access to text formatting options such as font,
style and size. And, the preview feature gives interactive and visual
feedback to allow for perfect documents every time.

In addition, Adobe HomePublisher features a fully integrated word processor
with built-in spell check, thesaurus and search-and-replace tools. Plus,
the program's powerful color and graphics controls allow users to easily
work with QuickTime movies, spot colors and scanned images within their
documents.

"Using Adobe HomePublisher and my home printer, I can easily and
inexpensively create custom-ized business cards, brochures, envelopes and
letters that introduce my services to a potential client," said McElwee.
"The documents look great, and they don't cost a fortune. Adobe
HomePublisher is a valuable, easy-to-use tool that has been ideal for my
small business publishing needs."
