Hello Bryan,
may well be - but in order to use a DTP program properly, you need to
learn a lot. It took me months to get used to all features I use in
Calamus 20 years ago .... and I simply do not have the time to learn
how to use a new, complex program.
I even tried to get used to InDesign some years ago as I thought it
would be fairly easy for me to switch as it was programmed by the
designers of Calamus (at least that's what I heard) and I found it
different and difficult to use. It needs a lot of learning - and that's
the problem: no spare time on my side.
The next issue of QL Today has to be ready in 2 1/2 months - so not much
time to learn ... and most of my time needs to be used to earn money in
the "main jobs".
So I keep buying updates for Calamus and support an old system like the
QL as well :-)
Cheers Jochen
Hello Jochen,
My son, who is well into such things, says that Scribus is by far the
freeware DTP programme of choice. I understand that my grandchildren
will be using it, but I don't do any DTP nowadays.
Cheers,
Bryan Horstmann
