The problem here is that no body read the all topic..... people wanted to buy Xtreme for small Magazine project they are not PROs in DTP, dey dont have your speed and efficiency ... the question was did Xtreme will do the work or not... from other side all here started to advertise softwares wich need to be invested with really a lot of money and need to be learn years and years...

So my last words here if the strarter of topic still read of course, try some free software like scribus, see how you will work, how magazine going to happen, then if you want and need go and buy Indesign, Quark whatever... but dont buy Xara for such a things, she set more questions and problems than resolve it...
