    So ... nothin' on any of those issues I brought up?

    1. Never noticed that problem.

    2. I much prefer InDesign's drag-and-drop system with photos and other graphic elements.

    3. The dropcap issue doesn't really bother me. What's the difference?

    4. I never really used that option on Quark, so I haven't noticed its absence in InDesign.

    In general, InDesign blows Quark out of the water because of its increased graphic capabilities, ease of text wraps, use of cutouts, etc. And its biggest advantage is its seamless compatibility with graphics and photo programs, i.e. PhotoShop and Illustrator.

    Thanks for replying, HST.

    The difference with the drop caps is the way ID does it is different from the way I need them.

    I'll try out that drag-and-drop technique on the photos.

    Quark is great ... The biggest problem? Most, including myself, don't know how to use all of the features. If you do, it's a sportscar.

    I was the Neil Peart of Quark, and three months into InDesign, I'm still feeling more like Rick Allen.
