Greetings, deepti.
Since 2000 till present, I became a freelancer in several publishers in Jakarta.
I have used software Ventura Desktop Publishing, PageMaker and InDesign to work my layout. But Indesign is my choice. Why, because Indesign has a very nice feature especially paragraphs style, characters style, tables style and object style. This feature is needed to accelerate the layout work. Only one click on paragraphs, character, table or object, as soon as he would fit with the style we want. In addition, Indesign also very compatible with other programs, especially with MS Office as an initial matter. And it's perfect generate a PDF file as a result. Most of versions of Indesign I already use (CS1 , CS2 , CS4 , CS5 and CS6).
