The most annoying thing to me with both PageMaker and Quark, is that the interface is entirely different. The shortcuts for InDesign work across the entire Adobe platform, and that is a big plus in my book. If you are trying to do tables in PageMaker you may have a program called Adobe Table that you can use. It works pretty well, but InDesign has a built table generator and as far as I know its the only program that supports it. Also, InDesign handles any graphic format directly from Photoshop and is the only program that can do complicated transparency and drop shadows. My info may be a bit outdated as I haven't tried the latest version of Quark (and I have no intention to). InDesign is basically the most flexible and works the best with all of the existing graphics formats. I also find its PDF generator to be far superior to other layout programs. Since we got InDesign I can seamlessly work between Photoshop and Illustrator and I don't have to worry about any color correcting. Also, if you have a lot of fonts, it works great with Font Reserve (I'm running mine on a Mac). Hope that helps!</p></blockquote><p></p>
