Considering a move from QuarkXPress to Adobe InDesign CS4? Curious what the main differences—and similarities—are and how they’ll impact your workflow? Or maybe you’ve already made the jump, but you’re having difficulty finding your favorite features within InDesign’s unique user interface and feature naming system. Runaround, for instance, isn’t there—at least, not called Runaround and not within a Modify-like dialog box.

  1. It would be a little more comforting if the guide has instructions for back tracking too, shouldn’t be a one way ticket.

  2. I have used both, but to design and produce the project for printing are two different worlds. Adobe gives collages and schools their product. thats just like nikon vs canon. same thing canon gives collages and schools their products. Great Marketing but lacks quality I know when I get a quark file it’s going to the press without a hitch, most people don’t realize that crashing problems are due to low grade fonts or conflicts or just lack of maintenance on your pc/mac they don’t teach you that in collage do they! I get a Indesign file I start to sweat in fear of quality issues or will the rip freak out on me. should I play it safe and make a PDF then send it. yea that’s my life in the print trade quark wins hands down

  4. As an author, the change from Quark to InDesign has been a challenge. Pages continually came up ’short’ of the contracted words and flatplan, making a nonsense of my original contract. The publisher never mentioned a change of program. Another publisher, however, has been quick to point out the problem to me and to assist in overcoming the ‘coming up short’ syndrome. Has any other author experienced this problem and can share experiences? Suzanne SWAN
