Page/layout/template maker

[SaMURaI-Y]

Hi there, I need to compose a book. Thus, I need a software to design the layout for the book. The design inside the content of that book, i mean.

Someone recommend me "page maker", but I am not so sure what software to use. Any recommendation? Thanks



Then, anyone know how to produce a CD? can nero produce a CD?

Thanks a million

I think they're referring to Adobe Pagemaker (http://www.adobe.com/products/pagemaker/). I've never used it myself so I don't know much about it, but I reckon Adobe's stuff is usually industry standard.

And yes, Nero is mainly used to make CDs.

What kind of book are you producing? How professional? If it's not too elaborate, Microsoft Word should suffice.

If you need your cd to start running something when inserted into a cd drive put a autorun.inf text file onto the root directory of the cd. You can figure out the format by looking at other software cds :)

Thanks qedx! but pagemaker or Indesgin better? Cause i saw these two programmes in the link u gave^^

To youngyew:
Quite professional I think. Involve national. Haha

To vseehua: really thanks but Does that mean that when produce that CD, we put that format in order to get that effect?

To vseehua: really thanks but Does that mean that when produce that CD, we put that format in order to get that effect?The format of the text file should look like the code below:
[Autorun]
open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe,0
the open syntax refers to the file that the cd should automatically open when inserted. The icon argument will set a default icon of the cd.

Put these together, save it as autorun.inf and burn it to the cd along with the rest of your files...

And if you want something free you can try Scribus (http://www.scribus.net/). It is also pretty popular in the publishing world as well :)
