Internet Publisher

Internet Publisher -- As great as the idea of a Word Processor/Web Browser/HTML Editor combination sounds, the result, this time from Novell, again fails to deliver . While not quite as slow as Internet Assistant from Microsoft, Internet Publisher (IP) is only of use for those just beginning to create only the most simple of web documents. While Netscape is included with Internet Publisher, Netscape's best features are left untapped by IP. You won't find help for creating forms, advanced tables, background images, and similar features in IP; you'll have to discover how to code these items yourself. I generally like the idea behind both Internet Assistant and Internet Publisher; however, the functionality and features in both of these programs leaves a lot to be desired. These programs are both targeted towards the 'net novice that is just beginning to discover and learn about HTML. Both are functional for this target market, but if you're seriously looking for a way to make quick, good-looking web pages, I'd have to recommend WEB Wizard over either of these clients. And if you already have some experience creating HTML documents, I thoroughly recommend checking out a program like HotDog, HTML Writer, or WebEdit over either Internet Publisher or Internet Assistant. Pros: The first Word Processor/Web Browser/HTML Editor combo for WordPerfect users Cons: Slow, only helps the most novice users create simple HTML documents New: Simple tables can now easily be created with IP, center tag added Version Reviewed: 6.1 Date of Review: 9/10/95 apps conference Main Menu
