Desktop Publishing Phrases

Greeting Cards, Posters, Note cards and other publications require phrases. Depending on the occasion, humor may be required, or a more serious phrase may be required.

This program contains over 1,000 indexed and searchable phrases that cover many different events, holidays and moods. These phrases are drawn from classic literature, religion, current events and quotes. In addition the Desktop Publishing team has written custom phrases for you. The phrases vary in length from a few words to sonnets.

This program allows you to search for the exact phrase you need.

Several different types of searches are provided.
