Summary: MS Greetings is Good but Lacking...
Review: If you're a novice with this type of program, better forget Greetings, since the software came with no user guide at all--just a CD in a large, flashy box. In addition, there is no online guide included on the CD. To make matters worse, when I went to prepare an Envelope and tried to find the Envelope feature, I made the mistake of going to the Help function. There is nothing there on preparing envelopes. I wrote Microsoft, and unbelievably, the response was "don't know if a user guide should have been included..." and "The Help wasn't written correctly for Greetings because they used the same Help function that goes with Picture It!" I stumbled on the Envelope feature by accident when I selected the topic "Blank." Microsoft should have done better. If you have time to play with it, the program is easy to use, good graphics and selections, but beware of lousy Help, no user guide, and lousy MS support.

Summary: Too much
Review: Like all Microsoft programs they think you have to use their network. Why a screen of specials just write a good basic program that does cards and leave the rest out.

Summary: Excellent product for creating greeting cards
Review: Microsoft Greetings 2002 is an excellent addition for those who already have a graphics or photo editor. The software supplies only limited amount of templates but I like to create my own so that isn't a concern for me. However, the product is easy to learn and allows you to use your own photos and graphics and if you have quality equipment like printers the end product looks professional. For the money there is no better product if you are just trying to create greeting cards.

Summary: For those wanting to make just greeting cards.
Review: Microsoft Greetings is perfect for those wanting to make a quick greeting card for a birthday or holiday or "just because". It has a nice selection of graphics and formats so that you can make a unique card that can be printed, published on the web or professionally printed. But like its name states this product is only for making greeting cards. If you want to do banners, labels, photo albums etc you should look into MS Picture It! Publishing or MS Picture It! Premium for a more robust application that includes photo editing. However if you are looking for a program to send greeting cards to loved ones during the year (esp if you forget and need one at the very last minute like me) then I recommend Microsoft Greetings.

Summary: It's called "Greetings" not Projects.
Review: Microsoft has an nice program here with excellent illustrations to choose from in creating your own greeting cards. It is a one-trick pony but does do the trick very well. The one thing consumers should be aware of is the amount of space it will hog on your computer. Look at the minimum space requirements and then double them to get a better idea of how much room it needs to work smoothly. Same thing with the RAM. Too little RAM and it will freeze up on you or take forever to preview. While I generally dislike Microsoft products, this program has very professionally done graphics and colors which is what you are really purchasing in a card program.

Summary: A peice of junk
Review: Sure you can create greeting cards, but what if you want to create business cards, labels, T-shirts, flyers, or stationary? Nada, does not exist, although most other programs have these features standard. This program is junk. I suggest American Greetings Plantinum 5 or 6.. A much better program. Microsoft just does not get it.

Summary: Limited Capabilities
Review: This program has extremely limited capabilities, as other reviewers have noted. Microsoft Picture It Publishing Platinum 2002 is a much better choice.

Review: Will not work on my Windows 98 SE computer but does fine with my laptop ME installed. Why can't Microsoft design products that work on all their systems?? A wise man once said Microsoft Works HA!!!
