Perhaps PowerPage's greatest strength was its text-handling. Two types of font could be used: 16x16 'headline fonts' and standard 8x8. Both were fully proportional, with an 'autoflow' feature to wrap text around graphics, and pixel justification. The strong text features made it particularly suitable for fanzine work.
Other features included compatibility with [[Stop Press]]-standard .CUT clip art files, and automatic file compression (from v1.1 onwards). The keypresses for drawing lines, rectangles and dots were heavily influenced by the vector drawing utility in the [[The Graphic Adventure Creator]]. Companion utility programs on the PowerPage disc included a large headline generator, using fonts from the PD [[Printmaster]] utility.
PowerPage's adoption by several fanzines (most notably [[Artificial Intelligence]]) proved a boon for the program, as fanzine editors fed back their suggestions on how to improve it.
Eventually, PowerPage was featured on an [[Amstrad Action]] covertape - although it had to be 'unpacked' to disc before running.
