I still love Pagemaker, not sure why;) InDesign is not that hard if you know Pagemaker and especially if you have some experience with XPress, the document lay out is similar.
Anyone who’s used to PageMangler or any other software feels comfortable with it. New software which actually requires you to learn something new seems like too much trouble.
It’s called being human 😉

Of course and I am doing it with pleasure. Just a bit hard for me to say goodbye top a piece of software that I enjoyed for so many years:)
If it ain’t broken, why the need to replace it?
Keep on working with Pagemaker if it does the job and you’re happy with it.
Greetings, Paul
Several reasons Paul. It ain’t broken, but InDesign is getting there to be the new standard in graphic industry. It is catching up with XPress in a speedy way and it certainly caught up with Pagemaker of course. Many printing offices still have Pagemaker, but I feel better to be ahead of it, it will not take long till they tell me "ow no, not Pagemaker!";) Aside of Pagemaker I worked with Quark many times also, in fact I worked with it the past two weeks. I totally am converted to InDesign if it comes down to those two. Much more stable, together with Photoshop and Illustrator a great combination, I am not there yet but I know already that when I get the full grip on InDesign it will safe me hours.
