There are quite a few page layout apps available. Which you use depends on your needs, of course. >As far as I can tell MS does not make a Mac version, *COUGH* >and in an admittedly quick look at Versiontracker I did not see >anything comparable. Any thoughts or >suggestions welcome. As usual my thanks in advance! Again, it depends on your actual needs. My housemates use MS Publisher on a PC to do a pretty bi-monthly newsletter and an annual yearbook for their RV group. Nothing they do cannot be done in AppleWorks. Pages would work too. They use Publisher because he's a PC person and this is her way of getting him to Do Stuff instead of play Spider all day. (that's gotta be the greatest justification I've ever heard for using MS products! ow. my brain hurts now). Ok, I take that back. There are things they can do in Publisher that don't happen on a Mac. Publisher looses data, photo resolution, formatting, and crashes arbitrarily -- totally corrupting the .pub file. Never had that happen in AppleWorks. So I guess that's a joy we've just missed ... - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iMac List" group.
