The seller's rubric says: "Whether you're an advertising manager or a small business owner, you'll find Art Text to be a powerful tool."

Quite wrong. If you're the advertising manager, your job is to buy advertising from people who know how to do it, or instruct your own graphic designer to do the design for you in-house. Cutesy Word Art (which is what this really is) will just show up your product as being amateurish.

This is a fun app, not a professional design solution. Use it for hobbies, clubs, personal pages, whatever. Just don't let it near your business.

I've had the same problem as Pieter-Opie and on the same date (7/2/09). As a result haven't been able to "test drive" what appears to be a really great program. In addition, anybody know if this is compatible with Adobe Indesign?
