Re: PageMaker
Hi Adrian, Ah yes, I've used both Pagemaker and InDesign in the past. As with any app. familiarity and ease of use can, to a degree, make up for lack of functionality - both apps will produce good quality products - I found that the steeper learning curve for InDesign was worth it, in terms of extra features etc. Many Quark users moved over to Indesign. Yes, I'm still running a G5, occasionally in Classic mode that allows me to run Pagemaker. To be honest, I've also got Pagemaker 7 here for XP that I can run on a 'darkside' machine if needed for a quick project - it's still a great application. As for the project, that sounds interesting! Your friend doesn't need a proof-reader with anatomical/medical experience does he/she? :) Regards Phil Hi all, A friend of mine is writing a technical medical book with lots of graphics etc. using word on a windows machine, how wrong can you get? When I last did a project like that I used PageMaker which no longer exists. Can anyone please advise me of a suitable alternative software and any info on publishing would be appreciated.

Re: PageMaker
Hi Adrian, I would use Indesign, it's very user friendly. Your friend would find it very difficult to get anything published from word.

Re: PageMaker
Hi Adrian. You can still get PageMaker but only for OS 9, also for Windows. I produce photographic coffee table books with Adobe InDesign, a great program, but I did like Pagemaker. You can also use Apple's Pages (simple to use but quite effective), and you can still get Quark Xpress.

Re: PageMaker

Re: PageMaker
Hi Adrian, like everyone else InDesign is my choice. It is the illegitimate child of PageMaker and includes many fantastic features. Word from office '08 (and I guess windows office '07) has an entirely new publishing section. I haven't played with it much but it shows a degree of competence. If the book is already done in word it would be relatively easy to convert and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. If the book is going to be sent to the printers they should have a say in how it should be created and presented. In the days of M$ Publisher they would have a hissy fit if the book was produced with that package. Regards, Eugene On 06/06/2008, at 10:55 AM, David Peake wrote: Another vote for InDesign here.

Did you get a reply? I was going to dig out some of my old PageMaker files to see what the format was like, because if the text is simple enough you might be able to extract it (without formatting) using the `strings` utility on the command line. Otherwise, there are probably few people on this list (myself included) who may still have access to PageMaker 5.0, 6.0 and 6.5 if those would be old enough to read your old files.

I am thinking of word, for example ... where if you save and then later save again you progressively get an increase in file size and an accumulation of all the changes. For Word I would occasionally do a save as which starts afresh in a way. If you have not already done so , increase the allocated Ram to Pagemaker , delete Pagemaker preferences ( or at least drag them out of your system file to a parking spot ) and reboot. The system will make new default preferences . It might give you the chance to get into the file to manipulate it. 2. Depending on how you use use Classic, you may have an alternative approach ! Under Classic advanced there is an option to use home preferences, which are the preferences of the App that were last imported from OS9 x. You might try there for access ?

Re: Pagemaker 6.52 Cannot open file
Mike Have you installed something new on your computer recently. The reason why I ask you that is that I was having similar problems with Apple Works. While looking ay the web pages of MacCentral the other day, there was the mention of the Trojan Horse and a few lines down for a try out for Virex anti virus software, so I thought why not give it a go. Next day, after hours of frustration trying to find the Apple Works problem I got rid of the Virex software and all was working fine again.
