Am not familiar at all with Interleaf and only marginaly with Pagemaker, so
am speaking slightly out of hand.  While WP does not directly "draw", it
mainly allows you to insert and manipulate graphics into a document, they
do have an add-on package called Draw Perfect that works quite well.  Whether
it has all the capabilities you require, I don't know.  It functions roughly
similar to MS Paint and MACdraw, to give you a *rough* comparision.  Both
WP and DP are mouse compatable, though for WP I much prefer using the
keyboard commands rather than bouncing back and forth from the KB to the
mouse.
