PageMaker is standard. Ready, Set, Go! 4.0 is powerful, easier to learn,
less expensive and good for multi-page documents such as newsletters
(OtherRealms, at 60 pages, is done in RSG. I wouldn't try it in PageMaker
prior to 3.0, and I'm not sure how well it would work there yet).

No, It's not. Neither is a 300 DPI scanner unless you want washed out,
blurry semi-representations of the original photograph. If it needs to be
halftoned, the technology isn't there yet in any affordable scanner.
