I will pile on and endorse InDesign. Quark was the standard for many years, they lost their way several versions ago. InDesign has been a great product for several years now. My wife is in the advertising business and my previous gig was in another advertising agency, they are all on InDesign now.
Here at the school district we have several 'normal' users on InDesign using it to pub items. Our High School newspaper is on it, it has been an easy and painless process for them and us. Good stuff.

We have had Quark for years and will move to InDesign in the next few weeks. I am not in this loop, but I think it due to both cost and just plain problems that we have had with Quark running on the Windows platform over the years. I recall a conversation that Quark was written for the Mac and ported to windows (correct me if I am wrong). -Devin On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 7:11 AM, Andrew Laya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: We use Quark Xpress here (at a newspaper), however, a number of our sister companies are moving to InDesign. I believe a lot of that has to do with renewal costs, but also the fact that familiarity with one Adobe product helps with the use of another. Not having used it myself, mind you, I have been told by those who have used both that InDesign in almost second nature if you have previously worked with Photoshop, Illustrator, etc... hth, Andrew.

Heh. Our marketing girl isn't dumb, but I think asking her to go that route would be a bit much. Besides, she's mostly doing marketing copy, brochures and data sheets and the like, where WYSIWYG layout actually makes a lot of sense. Now, if I could get people writing our internal documentation to switch to DocBook, I would be overjoyed. But that ain't too likely.
