I also have loved SmartDraw in the past. I installed the new version and my initial reaction of joy has been replaced with disappointment.

The negatives for me;
1. Working area! Way too small! And why are we now stuck with choosing a paper size? that's very limiting!
2. Buggy! I learnt early to keep saving as I worked. I thought I was onto it. When SD crashed again I thought "no, problem. I'll just start from my last save". It was gone! several hours work lost when the file came back it was an hours earlier version!!
3. The new UI might be good for newbies, but what about settings for something resembling the classic interface?

I'm sorry Mr. Stannard, but SD2007 needs a critical review and update for it to continue being my software of choice. :o(

PS: I do like the new graphics though!!
