In-Reply-To: Need Help with QuarkXPress, From: "Dave L. Meek's Use
In my opinion, QuarkXpress is a graphic artist's desktop publishing tool,
and not suitable for routinely producing documents - even documents with
multiple graphics. Quark's major advantage is the ability to automatically
resize column widths to fit a specific area. Of course, your DTP tasks will
be the determining factors. - George
