For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Our marketing group is developing a corporate graphics standards guide.
No one in the group has any experience with DTP apps, so the graphic
artist has been doing everything in Corel. He mentioned to me this AM
that he is getting increasingly frustrated trying to produce a book in
Corel (duh!) and asked me about Quark (apparently several print shops
recommended it to him).
I have never used Quark, but I do have extensive experience with
FrameMaker and some experience with PageMaker and am wondering if one of
these would be a better tool. Some posts in the archives indicate that
Quark is good for very graphics-intensive docs (which this book would
be), but since this book will grow some over the next few years, I am
concerned about the ease of updating TOCs and indexes.
Can someone advise if Quark allows you to generate TOCs and indexes?
Thanks,
