I'm trying to decide on a page composition program for use on a Macintosh IIx. I've narrowed the choice to Quark Xpress and Aldus Pagemaker. I'd like to hear what the advantage and disadvantage of each of these programs are, strengths and weaknesses, etc. The conventional wisdom so far has been "Xpress is better for long documents...offers more typographic control" and that "Pagemaker is easier to use...." Can anyone confirm, deny, explain, expound? If replying by e-mail, please use one of the addresses below. Thanks. -- Jim Ingram uunet!h-three!jimi | jimi%h-three@uunet.uu.net h-three Systems Corporation P.O. Box 12557 RTP NC 27709 919 549 8334
