Whenimporting text in PageMaker with the Place command, you mustenable Autoflow to have more than the first page of text appearautomatically. With Autoflow enabled, PageMaker will create the numberof pages necessary to contain the placed text. Without Autoflowenabled, after you place text, you will need to select text blocksmanually with the pointer tool, and then reload the cursor by clickingthe down arrow in the windowshade to place any remaining text.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to innovate and offer solutions that empower businesses to create, manage, and optimize their digital content efficiently. AWS PageMaker, coupled with generative AI integration, represents a cutting-edge advancement in content creation and management platforms. This integration brings together the power of AWS's cloud infrastructure and generative AI technology to enable users to produce dynamic and engaging content seamlessly.
AWS PageMaker serves as a comprehensive content management system (CMS) that allows users to design, publish, and analyze content across various digital channels, such as websites, mobile apps, and social media platforms. With its intuitive interface and robust feature set, PageMaker simplifies the content creation process, enabling users to focus on creativity and strategy.
The integration of generative AI into AWS PageMaker introduces a new dimension to content creation by enabling dynamic and personalized content generation in real-time. Leveraging state-of-the-art generative AI models, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Transformers, PageMaker can generate text, images, videos, and other multimedia content tailored to specific audiences, contexts, and preferences.
Personalized Content Generation: By analyzing user behavior, preferences, and demographic data, PageMaker's generative AI algorithms can dynamically generate personalized content in real-time. Whether it's product recommendations, targeted marketing messages, or personalized news articles, PageMaker ensures that each user receives content tailored to their interests and needs.
Creative Assistance: PageMaker's generative AI capabilities extend beyond content generation to provide creative assistance to users. From suggesting design elements and layout options to generating multimedia assets and interactive features, AI-powered recommendations streamline the content creation process and inspire creativity.
Content Variation and A/B Testing: With generative AI integration, PageMaker enables users to generate multiple variations of content automatically. This feature facilitates A/B testing and optimization, allowing users to identify the most effective content strategies based on real-time performance data and user feedback.

Whether it's enhancing customer engagement, optimizing marketing campaigns, or personalizing user experiences, PageMaker empowers businesses to stay ahead in the digital age.
I have been editing various magazines in Sweden for more than 50 years. The last 15 years I have produced a 24 page club magazine, using PageMaker. Suddenly you couldn't convert PMD files to PDFs for the printers, so I had to switch to InDesign. I really regret that, because I have never worked with a more complicated program and I still can't make decent layouts using it. So now I'm giving it up altogether before I get a heart attack. One thing that really makes me mad is the lack of easy-to-understand hands-on instructions, like "do this if you want this result" etc. I'm not the least interested in all the twists you catalogue, I just want to go on making a decent magazine with headings, photos and regular text parts. Nothing fancy at all. But such a publication seems impossible to create with InDesign, which apparently was created by computer freaks who never worked with other printed matter than glossy brochures that nobody reads. Shame on you! Is there anyone else out there who feels like I do?
I make layouts in InDesign all day every day for technical documents that I'm sure are decidedly less "fancy" than your magazine, and the application doesn't force anything needlessly complex upon my workflow. Your post has made me so curious about the nature of your difficulties, that I really hope you post again with details of something more specific in InDesign that has posed a challenge to your efforts to construct basic layouts. I truly can't imagine what the obstacles might be.
I've used PageMaker, Quark and InDesign to do page layout. They all do pretty much the same thing in very similar ways. Can you name something that's easy to do in PageMaker that you can't figure out in InDesign?
When I transitioned to InDesign from PageMaker in 1999, I was grateful for how much it worked like PageMaker. In 2019, I'm grateful for all the things I can do quickly in InDesign that PageMaker never supported. Training is the key to the transition. Set aside some time to learn the program, and you may never look back.
PageMaker was the first program I used on a computer. When InDesign came out, I transitioned to InDesign. There is a learning curve because InDesign is more powerful than PageMaker. Taking an introductory one or two day class would no doubt go a long way in that regard. In the end I think you'll be very pleased with InDesign.
Barbara, that is my gut feeling as well: what alfa75559246 may need is a hands on introduction to InDesign, not a video or a link to the online help -- useful as they are. Sometimes you have be able to look over one's shoulder to get an idea of what concepts they are struggling with.
I will add that hands-on training is the fastest way to get up to speed but also the most expensive. That's why I offered the less expensive options in my original post. For those without a training budget, alternatives are critical. But glad we all agree that training is the answer to alfa75559246's frustration.
While that may be absolutely true for clueless n00bs who expect "a fancier Microsoft Publisher" those new to the required professional level of design, I cannot recall any basic problems with InDesign after my transition from PageMaker and Quark XPress, besides learning the proper place to look for how to do something (basically, "oh, all those possible paragraph properties are in a popup window titled "Paragraph". How odd. Better memorize it.").
Do note that alfa75559246 does mention having plenty experience with other graphic design software. That's why I suspect the problems encountered are more due to ID's basic design paradigm -- the concepts of text frames and par/char styles. In that, it is closer to QXP than PageMaker (if I recall correctly), and indeed I remember having trouble adjusting to Quark's "lots of frames everywhere", which PageMaker did not need.
The best book on the subject (I think maybe the only one) is one that I wrote with David Blatner and Christopher Smith about 2004 called "Moving to InDesign: Use What You Know About QuarkXPress and PageMaker to Get Up to Speed in InDesign Fast!". It's still available from Amazon through third-party sellers.
Thanks, Jane. It was a fun project for me. It was my first book project and the chance to work with the QuarkXPress master, David Blatner. I learned a lot! It actually had a processor a year or two earlier, "Adobe InDesign for QuarkXPress Users." But this one was more concise and also included moving from PageMaker.
I set up the table in PageMaker with the relevant 11 tabs per line, using a paragraph style. The Excel file has 11 cells per row. To import the updated table, I highlight the PM table contents and replace the entire story. Bingo, the numbers in the Excel cells "stick" to the correct tabs.Try importing a Word file with tabs in the same way, making sure you click on Show Filter Preferences/Import Tables in the Place dialogue box.
Word has to be the most frustrating program ever. I have to convert two
annual reports back to word for eventual filing with the SEC. (I Use
Quark/ID to build my tables as Pagemaker doesn't have nested text boxes) My
tables are hand built to exact measurements ahead of time. Word seems to
want to dynamically expand everything. Pasting columns into tables, word
will repeat numbers from the begining, unless you have the exact number of
rows selected, as you have paragraph returns. Tabbed text will paste in fine
for a while, then word decides it doesn't like it, so I have to manually
convert text to table using paragraph deliniators, for a while, until word
decides to accept tabbed text again. Tables will suddenly ignore the styles
assigned, reverting to something else.Most of my problems with Word are due to my own ignorance, but the damn
program is not consistent in it's behaivior. I have a lot of repetitive
tasks to perform, and when Word changes the way it does things in mid flow,
it can really mess things up.
