FM 9 vs. InDesign

[Peter Gold]

Wow! I better get pushing on with the  ID for FM users book, now that it
looks like I've got a few copies on folks' wish lists<G>. Thanks for the
interest, everyone. I'll keep you posted as I progress. I'd like to hear
about your specific interests and reasons/features present or missing in one
or the other product that motivate you to consider the changeover. If you'd
like to write me privately, use this address: id4fm at knowhowpro dot com.


Regards,


Peter
