Oh yes there is something wrong with it. :) If you were doing serious print design (maybe you are, if so I apologize) then you would know about the bugs pagemaker is rife with compared to quark 3.3.2. There is a reason why print people still use that version religiously (admittedly quark 4 isn't bad now that its patched) and that�s because it is consistent and it works, especially printing to film or direct to plate. A lot of people really like pagemaker's interface (I happen to prefer quark's) and that�s fine... But pagemaker is sorely lacking in a lot of areas... Not to mention just the amount of bugs in it. Many, many people first learn print using pagemaker because its what schools use for cost reasons (quark has like no educational discount compared to pagemaker's) but it definetly has issues. I have so many horror stories about pagemaker... Like I did most of the work on setting up the notre dame and loyola media guides, all done in pagemaker. The links and databases would seemingly randomly corrupt, and rebuilding them would sometimes fix it and sometimes wouldn't. Images in 300page documents would disappear, couldn't get correct registration printing to film... You name it. There is a reason why quark is the standard. :) Ugh, I have to say though my biggest client fear before were pagemaker documents...
