Jay is a great guy. He helped me figure out some frustrating problems I was having with hyperlinks a while ago and I have no idea why more people aren’t subscribed to his blog. He’s got a gold mine of information there! It’s the equivalent of InDesign Secrets for Quark.

I guess I haven’t worked enough in Quark to notice that it’s faster.

Yes, I am talking about computer speed. Say when you're selecting a whole bunch of text and increasing the leading or point size, I'm sure Quark's quicker. Maybe it's just me!

You're talking about how long it takes you to set attributes? In regards to your second comment, I agree, as does <a href="http://planetquark.com/2008/06/17/computer-arts-magazine-asks-jay-nelson-about-quark-and-quarkxpress-8/" rel="nofollow">Jay from Planet Quark</a>. Rob,

I used to use Quark for years and now I mainly use InDesign. The main reason has to be the ease of copying and pasting of elements from and to other programs within the Creative Suite (although that could be better!) I still have Quark and use it from time to time. And I have to say I find it better for handling type and sometimes just a bit faster, particularly with type.At the end of the day Quark only have themselves to blame as they were too complacent. Although they have a solid "fan-base" that'll remain, I think ID kind of won the war! I’ve enjoyed reading these two posts. I used to use Quark for years and now I mainly use InDesign.
