Prepress technician for Best Printing Online
Have used Pagemaker since version 3.0 and realize there are still some people using it.
Education/Credentials Some college training in printing and have attended numerous seminars.
I publish a small quarterly community magazine, creating the layout using PageMaker. Recently, I had to re-boot my computer because of crawling viruses.
After rebooting, I uploaded all my other software (such as InDesign, Word, Excel, MS Publisher, MS Access and many others. Everything uploaded fine except PageMaker.
I uninstalled the PageMaker first, and removed all the remnant PageMaker-related files.
When I insert the Windows Version of the PageMaker CD-ROM (the purple color disc), the computer does not even show the PageMaker icon for the CD drive. When I click open the drive, I only see one folder named "Library" containing a large no of pictures; and a PDF file containing a large number of clip arts.
I am against a deadline for our April issue, and I am stuck. Can you help me out? You can call me at .
I am frustrated.

Answer Hi Venkat,
I am sorry, but I have no experience installing PageMaker on a Windows machine.
I'm a mac guy.
In the meantime, you can open your PageMaker files in InDesign to get out of the jam.
Hope this helps,
