By implanted do you mean cut and pasted or drag and dropped? I had one writer who loved to do both with screen shots. His documents are the ones I'm fixing now. What about graphics on your master pages, such as logos and the likes? I had some there too. Berny -Original Message- From:

Great! I'm looking forward to the next step: DITA support in InDesign! Imagine people authoring DITA XML topics in InCopy, which get published in PDF via InDesign. Quark has recently jumped on the DITA bandwagon too:

Sarah, Every time I try the demo of InDesign I can't get past the part where I make a page and look for where the text entry starts. As in, where is the cursor for text? It still feels like a page layout program, it still acts like a page layout program, it still wants you to obsess over page

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. Even Adobe compares it against Xpress, and NOT
