Great, but math needs a touchup...
Comment by chasf on August 6, 2007
The vertical dimension should be .25" bigger, not .123". The document height should be 9.25". Otherwise, a great article.
Dude...stick to what you know...

...and industrial economics is NOT what you know. We can tell that, not just from your (considerable) resume, but from your prescriptions in energy. It's ok to be green and I sure hope all the economy can go that way, but your not going to get green solutions from ignorance of market forces.
Missing "remembering" features from ID CS1 to CS2
Comment by chasf on May 10, 2005
So far I've found 2 places where Indesign no longer remembers the last action taken: In printing, used to remember last printed page range, no longer does (now more like Quark). In importing multi-page PDF, used to remember last page imported (allowing one click to import next page). No longer does, requiring more clicks.
Photshop has an easier way to work with eps and layers
Comment by chasf on January 28, 2003
Why not use Photoshop's ability to save a copy of your layered file in eps?
Quark for the future
Comment by chasf on January 21, 2003
How many ways are there to say "Amen!"? Great perspective of where Quark is and needs to head. In addition to Sandee's excellent list, here are some of my own nominations for improvements in Quark: Enhanced Measurements Pallette to allow control from all points of the object, rather than just the upper left. Paste in Place.
InDesign still a nightmare in print production
Comment by chasf on January 16, 2003
When creating good looking pages, InDesign is superior in many ways to Quark. I really can't argue with that. However, in the world of print production, most reviewers of InDesign haven't a clue about the difficulties, many of them insurmountable, InDesign presents.
Quark vs. InDesign and getting your design on paper
Comment by chasf on January 7, 2003
I've been reading with some interest writers such as David Blatner and Sandee Cohen singing the praises of InDesign while chastising poor, unimaginative QuarkXpress. I suppose over the years Quark has not been its own best champion. Pretty stodgy. Set in its ways. I wish for a better table editor, for instance. Transparency. Fuzzy drop shadows. The next level, perhaps, of typographical controls.
