Reply To: Word vs. InD for prepping text

Thanks for that. It started out that our disk editor would take on some tasks that our Pagers spend time doing/undoing, in the same way she's used to doing it. By the end of this lunch/meeting the plan had changed quite a bit. My boss is going to lean on me to decide which route to take. Part of this is (of course) the cost of buying a mac, the cost of buying InD for the PC, what if she quickly becomes quite comfortable and skilled with InDesign and expands into a bigger role (in which case buying the Mac now would have seemed like a good idea).

Is Mac/Windows not an issue, even if we're using different PostScript fonts, and ligatures and such?
