Sounds like one of you sucks at using Quark because I’ve designed some great stuff both on a Mac and a PC. As for **Speaker of the Dead[B/], you can download all the design programs for your pc from Kazaalite for free.
The newspaper at my High School was terrible. You guys sound like you know what you’re doing, but I’d reccomend buying a bunch of AP style guides if you don’t already have them on hand.
facepalm
Sorry for the hijack. Computer programs. Right.

- I have used InDesign only a small bit, and haven’t used anything else ever. InDesign seems easy enough for basic things, after you learn how to get textboxes to link so text overflows properly. It exports to PDF, but I dunno if that’s because I have Acrobat Distiller installed, or if it would be able to do that anyway…? I have GoLive (the website creator/manager) and there’s no export-as-HTML option in InDesign…? (-I bought the student-license of the Adobe Design Collection and installed everything… What the L is Imageready for, anyway? I haven’t ever used it for anything, should I have?).

- I have a legit copy of Win98, and a Kazaa copy of WinXP Pro (corporate volume license) on the same machine. The Adobe stuff runs just fine on Win98, and a bit faster (although that’s another gripe…) One problem with the Adobe software in WinXP is that in my case it expects every different WinXP user to register separately. Which I can’t do, because there’s only one serial number. I don’t know if this is an issue with the suspect copy of WinXP I have, but I’d bet a school would frown on using registration hacks for any on-site software. You might want to investigate this issue fully over at Adobe before proceeding. I don’t use the Win98 separate user accounts, so I don’t know if that’s a problem or not.
- On my computer, other programs have this “separate user registration” problem too–Office 2K is another one.
