I currently use Microsoft Publisher 2007 for creating a monthly paper, and a report every once in a while. Nothing too complicated but I spend a good deal of time on it. Never really had any problems.

I heard some good things about Quark Xpress. Anyone have any experience? Worth switching?

Thanks.

for simple needs publisher gets the job done.

indesign if you are going to upgrade… nobody really uses quark anymore unless they have a special need or are just generally special.

Quark sucks. But comparing Publisher to Quark/Indesign is like comparing a lion to a house cat.
