You can do more in PagePlus than you can in DSA. As you said yourself, Karen, DSA is the best bits from other Serif software. Pageplus has all the bits from itself and a lot more from its other software. I built a full website in it as opposed to using their webplus program and I've done quite a bit of drawing, usually done in Drawplus. I had DSA2 and found Pageplus much easier to use. DSA, in my opinion, is awkward compared to their other software. It relies too much on digikits that you have to go and download (even the free ones in some cases - why couldn't they just put them in the program to start with, and a chap from Serif I spoke to the other day agreed with me telling me he couldn't understand why they hadn't just put them on a resource CD like with their other programs). I have been using Serif software for years (at least eight) and DSA is so unlike their other software I even queried with the chap I spoke to whether Serif programmers even made it (a fair amount of their programs and items are other makers programs and items bearing the Serif name - their A5 tablet for instance is really a Wacom Volito, but with that version you get loads of bundled software you don't get with the Serif one).
