    new features. For more details, see the Adobe PageMaker 7.0 At A Glanceor the Adobe PageMaker 7.0 NewFeaturHighlights , available for download at .

    Q. What is the difference between the Educational and Retail versions of Adobe PageMaker 7.0?A. The EULA for the Educational version stipulates that it may be used only by an Educational End User (foreducational purposes). Educational versions of Adobe software include all of the same features as retail versions.

    However, they may not include the same extras that a retail version has, such as free fonts or clip artor they

    may include different extras. In addition, educational products are available at a discount, and so do not

    qualify for additional special pricing offered to retail customers. Educational versions of Adobe products are

    available through Adobe Authorized Educational Resellers, including campus bookstores and mail order companies(Macand PC Connection, Mac and PC Zone, and Mac and PC Warehouse).

    Q. Is Adobe PageMaker 7.0 carbonized?A. Adobe supports the direction Apple is taking with Mac OS X. Apples new operating system promises todeliver a powerful desktop platform with enhanced stability and reliability for the Macintosh customer.

    Currently, most Adobe software products do not offer native Mac OS X support. We plan to support Mac

    OS X native mode in future releases of our flagship products. PageMaker 7.0 is not a native application

    because we were in the advanced stages of code development before Mac OS X became available. However,

    PageMaker 7.0 will run successfully in Classic mode on Mac OS X.

    Q. How does PageMaker differ from Adobe InDesign and Adobe FrameMaker, Adobes other pagelayout products?

    A. Adobe now offers three page layout programs to serve the needs of different customers. AdobePageMaker is for business and educational publishing, Adobe InDesign is for high-end design, and Adobe

    FrameMaker is for publishing long technical documents that will be distributed through multiple channels.Heres how PageMaker fits into Adobes page layout strategy
