I responded to Richard personally, but this deserves a full scale post. Dtp
software is not a fancy word processor. All text should be created in a word
processing application and then imported into a dtp package. The first time
you insert a word into the front of a document and then have to wait while
all the other text repositions itself will convince you not to do your
original text creation in the dtp package.
Good luck,
J.P.
