InDesign CS by Adobe is the replacement for Pagemaker. If you purchase InDesign, there is a CD with Pagemaker plug-ins you can use. You should be able to read your pagemaker documents in InDesign. I don't remember off hand, but I think you can. InDesign is so much easier than Pagemaker with all the new features. Just got InDesign CS 2.0. Now learning its new features and finding out tips and shortcuts.
