I've been working on PageMaker off and on since 1987, mostly since
1993.  I just love it -- but then, you have to remember that the
alternative here is Word.  Auggggggghhhhhh!!!!!!

I hear great things about Frame and am eager to try it.

only problems I ever had were when I stored my files on the network
rather than on my hard drive. Apparently there is a known bug with PM
and networks (it might just be a Novell thing - not sure). Hopefully
they'll fix it soon.

Dunno what kind of server we have -- I think it's Novell -- but I have
never, ever had a problem with my files, and I always store them on
the server.
