That's doesn't seem to indicate we can write long documents, does it? Page by page... :-?
And why would it Carlos? Are you not familar with desktop publishing programs? If not, you really should take a look at this one!
No, I'm not familiar. I tried one years ago - ventura publishing? - and found no use for it. It could not be used to edit long documents, did not generate indexes, TOCs, chapters, apendixes, glosary, etc, so I used WP instead. The only use of it I have seen is for generating news paper pages, where articles from different sources had to be placed on the news sheet. That's what I thought at the time... if I'm mistaken, then tell me why I should use it instead of, say, OO or LyX. Sell it to me :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
