I like Visio best. You can do so much with it. For example, you can either find or write VB code to copy pages automatically so that they are the same size, then whenever you want to make a new iteration of a page, just run the macro. You can also use GOTO, if you right-click on a shape or text or whatever control, then select Format > Behavior. The last option on the Double-Click tab is Go to page. Select the page you want the control to go to and you're all set. The only difference is that you double-click the control rather than single-clicking it to invoke the go to action. You can also write code (or find some and modify it) to show and hide levels so that when you select an option button, it really appears to do something (shows a different level - so basically conditional display), or when you click a link to display optional controls, they really display. There are so many tricks to Visio. Using available code, you can also auto-create a table-of-contents and copy pages to another document, to name a few. There's also all sorts of fields (Insert > Fields) that can be auto-populated, such as the name of page, what number page it is of how many pages, who the author is, and many other things that I've found to be very helpful. Just dig around on the net a bit - there is a ton of information out there.

I use Omnigraffle, being a Mac user, as it is much quicker for producing wireframes than things like Illustrator, which is very time consuming. Viso for PC users is also good. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
