If you're an intermediate or advanced user of PageMaker 6.5, this should be your primary guide. Throughout the book, which addresses both Windows and Macintosh versions of PageMaker, you get step-by-step tutorials for doing a great variety of tasks. For starters, Adobe PageMaker Complete covers fundamentals such as setting up preferences and master pages, formatting type and paragraphs, and using the package's drawing tools, graphics, and color options. But then it goes on to explain the most challenging tasks in PageMaker, such as trapping, indexing, writing scripts, understanding prepress issues, and working with printers and service bureaus. The book is current, covering new and enhanced features in version 6.5, including frames, annotations, layers, and Web output. Appendices on using master checklists, keyboard shortcuts, special characters, and plug-ins round out this thorough and imminently helpful book.

Not for the Beginner,
This review is from: Pagemaker 6.5 Complete (Paperback)
This book is not for the user without experience. This guide tells you what everything does but does not tell you how to execute it. This is simply for the user with experience and wants to learn the advanced functions. I'm not saying this is a bad book but it's not good for people like me who does not have a clue to make it run. This book is largely dedicated for the steps after pagemaker such as prepress, explanation of colors (and why it doesn't match the monitors output), printing services, service bureaus. This book is good for wanting to know what to do after the project has completed the pagemaker stage.

Just Confusing....,
By Trish (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pagemaker 6.5 Complete (Paperback)
I found this book very diffucult to follow. The steps are either incomplete, inaccurate, or improperly explained. Sometimes I couldn't figure out how to perform a particular pagemaker function, or I didn't understand why certain steps worked out the way they did. I have a fair amount of computer experience, and even a fair amount of pagemaker experience, but after reading through the first 4 chapters, I couldn't help but feel that this book was just put out to make money on the popularity of pagemaker and not better explain it. I wouldn't recommend this to users of any level. Pagemaker Adobe Classroom in a book is an excellent book for newcomers to the program. As for an good advanced pagemaker book, this isn't it.

Large book....but not very good,
By
This review is from: Pagemaker 6.5 Complete (Paperback)
There is a lot of text in this book, but that is as close to compliment as I'll give this book. Someone who has never used a computer before may find this book useful for the first hundred pages, and then will likely, like I did, become very frustrated with slow pace, and constant repetition of the basics. There was no need for this book to be 900 pages. Pagemaker, including all of its advanced features, could have been explained in far more detail in far less space. Reading through this book is a waste of energy, I'm sure some of the other pagemaker books out there are better than this one.
