Hi there Becky
I've just introduced myself after lurking around for a number of months and I found your post when I did a search for InDesign to see if anyone else uses it. And look what I found!!! I have been using Microsoft Publisher for as long as I can remember for all sorts of stuff (mainly for my violin students) and when I began digiscrapping I got the adobe creative suite so that all my programs (layout, bitmap and vector) all talk to each other. I love it - all my artwork/elements are done in PS, any drawings in Illustrator and all my layouts in InDesign. It works a charm!! One question......do you know if it's possible to 'place' more than one photo/element at a time...it's the only weakness when I'm doing a layout with lots of photos - I have to go and 'place' each one individually!
I'm sure I'll talk to you again
