I'm loving everything and I like how I can do so much without printing, then write your info, then scan to your pc, then email to an individual or group. This is way, way faster.

I like the improvements to the program & the variety of options. I would like to see the "circle" option with a little more flexibility - right now it is very thick & not practical. I also could not adjust the position of text boxes that were misaligned without deleting and recreating them.
