Re: Spelling, grammar and getting it right was Re: OFF TOPIC funny

I feel like a dinosaur(!) I used Pagemaker from V3 to 6.something, for page
layout and all the word processing ever needed. It wouldn't alphabetize,
though. Retired just before Indesign.

It used to be Quark, but not any more....people have *flocked* to
InDesign. It's much cheaper, interfaces better with other programs, and
once you're over an initial hurdle, is easy to use. The most frustrating
thing about the changeover was that it calls things by different names
than Quark, and it was hard to look up something you didn't know the name
for in help! But that didn't last long.

InDesign is SO much better in text flow. I used to spend hours fiddling
with Quark files to get the text "just so" (good Virgo that I am, LOL!) --
lining up columns, getting past bad line breaks, etc. etc. - that InDesign
does much better from the get-go.
