Pagemaker 7

The first step towards attach Adobe PageMaker’s power understands what it does best. Although PageMaker has many powerful word processing and graphics features. Its strength lies in the assembly of text and art, not in their creation.

To get the most out of PageMaker, you’ll need to have the elements of your document already created in other programs. You’ll organize them on your hard drive so that they’re easy to find.
