This is what burns me up about PM7. I had originally intended to simply
convert old PageMaker files to InDesign as I needed them, but that
process became tedious since almost every conversion needed unscrambling
of one sort or another (text blocks were a big problem). So, in the end,
I ordered the PM7 upgrade. WHAT A RIP!
With very few exceptions, PM7 IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS PM 6.5.2, albeit
with a few extra templates thrown in. I had at least expected the
Adobeization of the interface to make it more workable, but it's the same
aged & clunky Aldus interface (designed for 13" monitors), and bad color
management. I cannot understand how this would warrant a full-number
upgrade. It is really PageMaker 6.6. But then, Adobe is still selling
such fossils as Streamline and Dimension - both of which haven't been
supported for years & years.
I'm into OS 9.2.1 now (Nah nah, Neh, Nah nah) and haven't seen any
problems opening and working on PM7 files, but as of yet, I haven't
printed from it with the new OS. Tell me again what's going on with your
files and I'll try to duplicate the errors here.
