What's great about it: Amazing capabilities
What's not so great: Too many similar fonts. Not enough typefaces with personality
I had to upgrade from Pagemaker 7.0 to InDesign when I purchased my new computer with Windows 7 operating system. InDesign has great capabilities, probably more than I will ever use. I loved Pagemaker and InDesign does everything Pagemaker did and more. There are many more drawing tools, which I am still trying to figure out. Some additions seem to have made using the program more difficult but that is probably due to my unfamiliarity with all its features. There is an extensive help library as well as "Live" help where you can share your screen... (I am assuming with someone who will assist you with your problem). The only real disappointment that I have with InDesign is the lack of different typefaces. There are probably over a hundred of them but they are very, very similar. There isn't even a nice script font that could be used on things like wedding announcements. There are very few that have any personality and I miss that with this program. Pagemaker had a great selection of fonts. I am not looking forward to having to purchase them separately. As for the ease of installation, I cannot give any insight as I was lucky enough to have the Geek Squad at Best Buy install my programs for me. Overall it's a fun program that, with some exploring, will allow me to do some amazing desktop publishing.
I would recommend this to a friend!
