I tryed Illustrator 7, Corel 8 & FreeHand 8 and I think that FreeHand gives a fantastic capability to work with different pages in a document, it works with text better than two others, but I don't know how to add a node in choosen place of a path and how to open a node. FreeHand doesn't shows printing area and it's prewiew is terrible. However my choice for MY needs is FreeHand 8
