On a related topic, I was wondering whether a bug-fix version of 4.5
had been released recently.  The current version seems to have a good
number of them, including the inability to run with the cache on,
problems moving runaround text boxes, problems with auto-reflow of
text from later pages to earlier pages, etc.

Still, I'd rather use it than PageMaker, although unless things get
fixed soon I may give Quark another look.
