RE: Using Microsoft Publisher for a very large PDF
Subject:RE: Using Microsoft Publisher for a very large PDF From:"Brierley, Sean" <Sean -dot- Brierley -at- Jenzabar -dot- Net> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 6 Nov 2001 12:29:37 -0500
I would lobby for PageMaker to do that kind of stuff. Although I don't use
Publisher, I would suspect it is capable of such stuff. I intensely dislike
the way Word works to create newsletters . . . it can but it simply is not a
layout tool.

Sean
