Summary: slow learning curve, big price BUT WORTH IT
Review: InDesign comes of age. I switched from Publisher 2002 to
InDesign but bought the entire Design Collection. Very wise
move it turned out despite the price. I was not impressed
with InDesign 1.5 when I demo-ed it but 2.0 is terrific. The
disjointed tools in 1.5 were upgraded to fit together both
logically and seamlessly. Photoshop 7? The healing tool is a
dream for photo repair and the principal upgrade from 6 to 7.
BASICALLY you can make a document... make the graphics EXACTLY
the way you want them... layout everything with precision and
put it into a PDF and go out across the internet or on a disk
to the printers with it. Quark I also demo-ed, but this Adobe
collection has the functionality of that package AND much more.
Also the advent of Adobe's Open Type fonts are huge in the way
of controlling the typefaces... The product is supported by
Adobe and there are a slew of third party plug-ins and
tutorials. Photoshop is something I resisted trying for two

years. My mistake .... the layers make editing graphics
possible in ways I never dreamed of. IT'S ACTUALLY WORTH THE
MONEY. THE SLOW LEARNING CURVE IS DUE TO THE ARRAY OF TOOLS AND
OPTIONS YOU ARE GIVEN. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
