Hi Peter,
This is a good start, but, wait, there's more to it. While the power
click brings an InDesign master-page text frame to the body page,
where it works both like and differently from FM, you'll soon fill it

I'm sorry to report that after doing the procedure you listed below,
I still couldn't enter text without drawing a text box within the
margins. This is exactly why it isn't more than a page layout
program. It fails to provide me with a default page that can be used
to write upon without having

Hi Sarah,
Not sure how strong it will be, but ID CS4 certainly appears to offer
the tools that will allow some unstructured FM users to make the
switch. Incidentally, it looks like Apple may have finally switched
to InDesign for its user guides, which until now have been made with
Mac

Sarah,
As a final thought, I'll add this. Any tool that won't automatically
add pages to the text flow when I come to the end of a page is an
automatic no-go. If I have to add text boxes to the page in order to
enter text, it's a no-go.
