QuarkXPress 5.0
Editors' rating
Excellent
8.0
out of 10
- The good: Lets you create tables easily; finally offers adequate Web-page layout tools; delivers precise color and type handling.
- The bad: No multiple undo function; doesn't provide templates or fonts; lacks an integrated PDF export engine (you must purchase Adobe Acrobat separately).
- The bottom line: Quark is at the top of the desktop publishing food chain, and we recommend it for high-end projects. For a less expensive, nonprofessional solution, try Microsoft Publisher.

Intro of QuarkXPress 5.0
In the desktop publishing arena, QuarkXPress holds the top banana title, with good reason. The program offers precise control over typesetting and color handling and makes it easy for design professionals to lay out any sort of manuscript, from a magazine to a novel. Furthermore, after years of customer requests, Quark 5.0 finally sports a table-building tool and a complete set of Web-page design features. We do have a few complaints: we find Quark's chronic, incomplete PDF support frustrating. Nonetheless, this powerful program maintains its most-favored professional status among desktop publishers. Amateurs should try easier Microsoft Publisher 2002.
