Joe - It really works well as far as I have progressed. I did not know how many pages I needed, so it was hit and miss, but it works. Add the pages then link them. Voila...drop the text into text frame one and everything flows to the other pages. Then I need to add the photos which is quite easy.
Still a lot more to learn, but this seems to be a very flexible program.
