I've tested these packs and think they should be reorganized:

Each pack consists of clip art graphics, fonts and design templates.

"Microsoft Publisher Design Pack" (1992)
– internally called DP1, so it's pack #1
– available for Publisher 1.0 (dated 1992, smaller total size) or Publisher 2.0 (dated 1994, larger total size)
– the version for Publisher 1.0 requires Windows 3.0, comes with Microsoft Draw that did not exist when Pub 1.0 was released
– the version for Publisher 2.0 requires Windows 3.1, omits Microsoft Draw that is now included in Pub 2.0

"Microsoft Publisher Special Ocassions Design Pack" (1993)
– internally called DP2, so it's pack #2
– only released for Publisher 2.0, requires WIndows 3.1
– further added a new holiday card assistant
– included in "Publisher 2.0 CD-ROM Edition and Special Occasions Design Pack"

"Microsoft Publisher StyleLine Design Pack" (probably 1994)
– internally called DP3 or DPSTYLE, so it's pack #3
– only released for Publisher 2.0, requires WIndows 3.1
– introduced the concepts of borders and paper textures
