I just visited Adobe’s site, as I’m in the habit of doing to see what’s going on. It seems they’ve gone and upgraded PageMaker. What I would like to know is… WHY? They’ve got InDesign in the stable and haven’t touched PageMaker in years. I thought the idea was that InDesign was going to replace PageMaker?

Anybody know what’s going on here?

Audrey, thanks! That gives a little perspective. I’m still not happy about it, though, have convinced my company that PM was going away…

Hey, no problem. Hopefully, InDesign is the product best suited for your type of work.
