Advantages: lot of artistic features

Disadvantages: very hard to use for a beginner with no manuel

I gained this package through a MS student offer and it seems a perfect addition for use with MS Frontpage 2000. There is one problem though I don't have manuels for the software and frankly you do need them if your experience with graphics software is extremely limited like mine. I have tried countless times to create web graphics in this package. It's pretty simple to design them but once it comes to importing them it arrives on your screen at a massive size to what it was on your Photodraw page. I'm pretty sure that I'm doing something wrong though. My point is though is that it's not as simple to use as you'd think. The help section is pretty detailed though so that goes some way towards solving some of the problems.
There are some nice features such as the effects and brushes you can use to give your graphics a more professional touch. On the web design front there are plenty of banners and buttons you can play with to get a style on your website. However these are pointless when you don't know how to accomplish your goals in usuing the software.
I would reccommend this package if you can get a good book to teach you how to use it. That's certainly what i hope to do.
