    Default Indesign versus Pagemaker

    I am sure this topic has been discussed a lot already, and I hope you're not
    all tired to death of it! But here's my situation. I have used Pagemaker 7
    for modest size projects, such as 8 page brochures, and am pretty
    comfortable with it. I have coming up my first big project - a 350 page
    book. Does Indesign offer enough advantages for this sort of work to make it
    worthwhile to upgrade?

    Thanks,

    If the book contains tables then probably: InDesign handles tables
    very well. If it's all text then probably not. Just my 2p.
