For what it's worth, I use and recommend the same combination. I
use Word occasionally and can't stand it; I can get it to do what
I want but it seems very cumbersome, lots of key strokes to do
common functions.

I've tried
Ready-Set-Go; it's easier to use and to learn to use but doesn't
have some of the features of PageMaker 3.0 that I find important.
Also, my guess is that PageMaker has become the most widely used
program and thus necessary for compatibility in exchanging files,
the way dBASE became standard for CP/M machines not because it was
the best database program but because more people chose it and
more word processors were compatible with it. In fact, I went
ahead and bought PageMaker (although I already had access to
Ready-Set-Go) because an outside contractor had prepared some
graphics in PageMaker. PageMaker is a sort of Rube Goldberg kind
of program with lots of cranks and whistles, but unlike Word,
these features don't generally get in the way of more routine
work.
