RSG sounds worth a go. 150US is around 100UK which is not too onerous. Before that I will check out the education price of Indesign and Quark.

And Chris, if you can find such one used, I can recommend it as the best >of those small ones I've tried. - And RAM consumption? - Only 5.8mb! - And it >is both single and multi page capable.... Thanks for suggesting second hand stuff - home publisher sounds about right, particularly if RSG has problems with footnotes and indexes. Mind you, there should be fairly simple workrounds for these. Not sure where to try in the UK, although a couple of outfits do second hand hardware so these might be worth a try. BTW I left behind my trusty PB190 last year and am now on a 333Mhz G3 PBook. Still got the old PMac 5500 though so I'm entirely PPC now. Geoff, >Chris, did you mention you were coming from AppleWorks? AW/CW can do >some very useful DTP. Yes I agree geoff, but I was really looking for something that would do kerning and some of the typographical tricks. Sorry for the fragmented nature of this post but I'm trying to reply to about 10 days mail. Regards, Chris
