Quark Xpress does indeed offer better typographic control. It has more
advanced color capabilities as well. It also has a brother/sister product
in Quark Style which does a lot of what Quark Xpress does but without much
of the detailed typographic control stuff and no color. They are document
interchangeable. QuarkStyle also comes with a bunch of really neat templates.
PageMaker is great if you want to experiemnt a lot with your design and
layout. You kinda have to know what you want to do with QuarkExpress.
PageMaker does do some very illogical things with leading - they measure it
from cap height to cap height when the industry standard is baseline to
baseline.
I have no connection with Aldus or Quark. This is not an official Apple
statement or endorsement.
