Amy, tell me what Amy was doing
Along with the art director at work, I have been testdriving Adobe inDesign. Tonight I was looking for a long Word document to work with and in a search of all *.doc files on my hard drive I ran across a 1,029-page Word version of the text of Pride and Prejudice in 5"x5" pages with great big margins, yielding only a little dab of text on each page. Dated December 2004.
Now my question to me is: what was I doing? Novel in a little slide show? Wrong size for that novel on index cards idea from a long time ago. God knows. I'm intrigued.
On the inDesign front, I wonder how much longer it will be before Adobe integrates more of the Macromedia apps. inDesign to Dreamweaver would be nice. We use Quark at work now. I'm more at home with inDesign because it's reminiscent of PageMaker, which I used for a long time starting in 1986 on the Mac for a subscription newsletter I used to edit.
