Hello,
I am looking for Microsoft Office 97 which includes the bonus pack.
The bonus pack contains Microsoft Image Composer which is what I am actually after.does anyone have a source.I have contacted Microsoft but have not heard back as of yet.
I need this program for a number of it's features to edit over 1,000 graphics for my site.
Thanks,
Tanna

Hi Tanna,

I found a copy on eBay but it comes bundled with Microsoft Front Page. I don't know if you want to have to pay for that to get it but here is the URL for the auction:

Tanna,

My boss was just crazy for Image Composer, and we searched forever to find a distribution that included it, to no avail.

I installed DrawPlus and PhotoPlus from Serif Software (http://www.freeserifsoftware.com), and he just about kissed me!

(The link takes you to the free download site, which offers the previous version of the current software they sell on their site, for example DrawPlus 4 is free but DrawPlus 5 is not. Small matter.)

Maybe you will find them useful, too?

Hi,
Thanks for all the great leads which I have checked out.
I was able to acquire Image Composer!

Now would be a good time to confess I am a graphic and software junkie.
If anyone in the forum needs any type of graphic,button,background,template,or?
Please let me know and I will forward to you with my compliments.

Very cool. I willing to bet you own a million plugins for photoshop and paintshop pro as well. I found a little program called logo creator that I like to use to make logos and small graphics. Very easy to use and provides a variety of output methods for your creations. Ulead cool 3d is also pretty good. Quite a few of the graphics on our site were made with it.

Yes Richey,
It is a collection that is getting out of hand,I have used a number of Ulead programs and actualley prefer PhotoImpact over PSP, I paid a visit to your well laid out site and was quite impressed with your commitment to animals that was included."ByeBye Baby" was too sad,but I do hope it gets a message out.
Please let me know if you ever need graphics or ? for these little friends,
Tanna

I was faced with getting a new computer and found this thread which was quite helpful. Thanks for the links for DrawPlus.

I copied my folder over to the new computer for Image Composer. Then I went into Windows>System32 and found the two dll programs the program wanted and copied them over and Voila, it now works on my new computer.:yippee: :yippee: The two modules arecmsstgu.dll and UNTOANSI.dll. Hope this helps anyone else who has this kind of issue.
