    Who is this woman called Ms.Publish? When she marries, will she be Mrs Publish, or will she take her husband's name. (I believe he is called Mr. Andy B. Dammed).

      If you can't write an entire book using LaTeX, you can't call yourself a technical writer.

        Only if she marries her brother/cousin. I don't think the Publishes are a big family, not even the Norfolk ones. Though that would explain the in-breeding.

            Personally, I'd go with MS Publisher to learn the tools; it is cheap. When you get better at it and come to the limits of what can MS Publisher do, you can spend money and upgrade to QuarkExpress or InDesing. For illustration, I'd go with Adobe Illustrator (if you can spend the money).

                                - adobe products are popular with all-mouth-and-trousers w@nkers who know nothing about computers, and who believe it when adobe tells them that their products are for "the discerning". - Quark express is popular with Unix/Linux-heads, who believe that only stone-age tools should be used for anything to do with computers (because anyone who can't do everything from the command line is an idiot that you can snigger at, as they walk away with the head cheerleader). - Publish is camped somewhere in the middle, between those two extremes -- but there's no-one in that camp to use it.

                                Neither. You go to ProntaPrint for business cards. Doing it on your own is not cost-effective.

                                Neither. You use your brain to design a book. The software for implementing your design adds nothing.
