NEW: Xara Page & Layout Designer

[PeteS]

You can download the trial for Page & Layout Designer and give it a go yourself to see whether it would be suitable for you, once it has been released

The columns feature looks very promising, but from looking at Gary's First look and the information available on the Xara site it's missing an auto hypenation feature. I will have a look at the trial later and will the new P&LD features be included in DP?

[PeteS]

Yes

It remains the case that Designer Pro is our top of the range, so v9 it will get all the features of Page & Layout Designer. So if you are a Designer Pro owner you might want to hurry along to Gary Priester’s ‘Quick Look at Page & Layout Designer’ on the Xara Xone @ http://xaraxone.magix.net/PLD/index.htm where you’ll be able to deduce some more of the new features you can expect in Pro X9, which will be arriving very soon!

Does it handle tables natively? Not in a widget.

Will there be a DTP Forum set up?

When I go to the page to download the trial, I do not see a link to download it. What am I missing?

Can somebody explain to me the differences between:

1. Page and Layout Designer vs Photo and Graphic Designer, and
2. Page and Layout Designer vs Designer Pro X.

I mean if PLD is PGD + page and layout features or there are some big differences, and
What is and what is not inside PLD from DPX.

Can you give us a comparison table between all these three programs.

Having in mind the price of PLD, how serious it can be comparing its features to InDesign and QuarkXPress?
