I know about the bugs :) I run into one on every document I work on. I've found a way to work around most of them. There's an EPS bug with my PageMaker and my printer that refuses to print a certain color of blue that one of my clients insists on using. It's the most maddening thing. I can work around it though. Most of the documents I create are about 150 pages and have anywhere from 30 to 75 graphics. > 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. I'm just the designer. Where I work it's up to the print house to worry about how to get the document I create from electronic to printer format. Of course it helps that a couple of the guys working at the place I send my stuff to be printed also prefer PageMaker and use it themselves. > A lot of people really like pagemaker's interface (I happen to prefer > quark's) and that�s fine...

I always feel like I'm fighting to use Quark. > 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. Quark is the most expensive single piece of software I own. It cost more than my Mac. -- I don't suffer from insanity.
