> Pagemaker, on the other hand, is DESIGNED to do layout.

That is the key. Generally, any tool designed specifically for a task will
be much easier for the user. I will give Word props for being (at least
several years ago, when I was putting the compiled NAGEE together) the only
word-processor that could even come close to doing what I wanted from it.
Others had limitations, either in mixing different numbers of columns on a
page, supporting EPS or doing indexing and table of contents properly.

For certain things, though, using Word is nasty and brutish. My character
sheets, for example, I'm not sure could even be done in Word. That's what
Quark XPress is for.
