Buy the Pro in one Go - Be Careful With The Pro Upgrade! - Gates Will Land you in the Guano! If, like me, you bought the 2003 Standard version and then the 2003 Pro Upgrade you ll be mightily anti-Gatesware, even if you weren t before. It is not possible to upgrade from Standard 2003 to Pro 2003. It simply won t load because the 2003 Standard programme is not an approved pre-cursor to the 2003 Pro. Yes really, and I am £200 worse of because of it, not to mention the frustration of 2 hours lost installing and removing it 3 times and the scrabbling around on the PC finding out why. Bless Google, turned up a site with the reason (see above) on the first attempt. Buy the Pro in one go if you need it. Excellent programme but beware the Ides of Gates.

The latest version is better than previous versions. It will allow you to use image files to add to templates. Template sizes however can get quicte large, but the image quality is excellent. I use this to draw diagrams to transfer into Powerpoint for presentations. The latest version is easy to use never crashes and the output quality is excellent. Can t see how they will improve on this.Bad points are template sizes are getting bigger, plus you can t save template beyond 2002. If you were able to save as version 2000 this would be betterApart from that its excellent
