publishing program, its history actually spans more
than 15 years; it succeeds the venerable Adobe PageMaker,
the first popular desktop-publishing program. InDesign is an
all-new program — make no mistake about that — but it draws
on the experience and design of PageMaker, which Adobe
Systems acquired in 1994 and significantly modified in the
intervening years. As Adobe’s entry into the professional,
more-creative publishing space that has been dominated by
QuarkXPress, the developers of InDesign also learned a lot of

Why does this history matter? Because chances are you
already use PageMaker or, more likely, QuarkXPress and
are switching to InDesign or adding InDesign to your
software toolkit. You’ll find a lot of familiar things in
InDesign, but InDesign is a new product that borrows from
PageMaker and other Adobe products, as well as from its
chief rival, QuarkXPress. It also adds new components of
its own. So draw upon your experience with PageMaker,
QuarkXPress, or other Adobe software, but don’t let that
experience fool you into thinking you can run InDesign
on autopilot. Instead, be sure to really learn InDesign’s
approaches.

If you’re switching to InDesign from QuarkXPress or
PageMaker, be sure to check out Appendix C or Appendix D.
These appendixes will help you translate your QuarkXPress
and PageMaker expertise into InDesign’s frame of reference.
