Just an update - it turns out that Omnipage Ultimate is now very cheap, under £10 for lifetime use if you buy it online and download the files etc. A bit of a pain to set up since it's a fair while since I've used Omnipage, it's a bit different to 15, and I'd forgotten some tricks, but I got it working in the end.

They're also doing the 2021 release of Corel Draw pretty cheaply, under £20 and I have a 15% discount code because I bought Omnipage - while Libre Office has its own draw program, I think I might be better off using a program that I already know in its earlier incarnation, hopefully there will be a smaller learning curve. Too tired to make decisions tonight though...

Mac versions are cheaper for some reason, but I prefer a bigger screen than my laptop.

I meant this one:

The one at £24.99 is the Mac version, which may be a more comprehensive package.

I forgot to say what happened with this - it won't run at all. It starts up then stops abruptly while creating the environment. There are lots of recommendations for fixes (it seems to be a very common problem) but none of the ones I've tried work. The seller hasn't replied to several queries about this, and Corel technical support is pretty useless.

I've just emailed the seller to point out that my next step will have to be to escalate this by involving Mastercard. I wonder what their response will be...
