Not that I'm a cheap skate, but cost is a factor for a retiree that still coaches football. Thanks!

I find Power Point easier to use than Page Maker and there are a few more things I can do with it like add video clips to show they guys after they see it on the screen or on a paper.

I use the draw feature in MS Word. However, when I draw too many lines & circle they jump to different areas on the page for some reason. How can I fix that problem??

I don't know if you can do this in Word, but if you can "Group" all the objects together then they won't move around. To try this, select all the objects you want to Group, right click, then select "Grouping" ---> "Group".

You give up some of the text and writing features in Excel, but the drawing tools are much better, IMO. I used to draw the plays in Excel then cut and paste to Word because it had better text layout features and tables, but it became too much of a pain to go back and forth between applications. Now I just do it all in Excel.
