	from Jacci Howard Bear Trial software is a great way to get a feel for what programs work best. Generally I like the ones that just have a function or two disabled. For some reason those 30-day trials make me feel pressured although if you're in a hurry they are a good option because they are fully functioning.

Take it for a Spin
Professional level desktop publishing software is expensive. Reading reviews and getting the opinions of others are great tools to help you decide where to spend your money, but hands-on experience is even better. Fortunately, many software publishers make it easy to testdrive their products through free trial versions (which usually have some features disabled) and fully-functional time-limited copies. Before you start downloading all those free trials, get some tips on evaluating software with trial versions then go download.

Opening an Office 2000 Publisher File
Speaking of trial software... In the forum Faith suggests downloading the free trial version of Publisher to use it to open up other Publisher files. Good option for those who don't have the program the file was originally created from and don't want to buy the software for this one-time purpose.
