but even Microsoft Publisher would be better than Word if you are seeking layout control). Things like Apple's Pages, or Scribis are much less expensive than InDesign but still offer far more visual control than Word ever will. If you are looking for something more "middle of the road" you may want to look into some less expensive software which is intended to offer some layout control. While you can get text from InDesign to Word rather easily, retaining layout and form is basically hit or miss - often resulting in more misses than hits. The application may be willing to let you place a wide variety of file formats, but that doesn’t necessarily serve as an endorsement of file format wonderfulness. There are major issues trying to take that free control and translate it to a rigid structured environment such as Word. Often, you will be placing images into InDesign or Illustrator, so you’re limited to the formats supported by those applications.
However, Word will never support free object control of elements (ability to click and drag them anywhere you want) the way InDesign does.Ĭonversely, InDesign does support free object-level control over elements. Sure the lines blur slightly with the ability to import images and draw a few rudimentary shapes in Word. That's it, not create layouts and artwork. In addition, because InDesign employs many more features than Word, there is no direct path to take an InDesign file to Word. This is kind of like saying you "want the level of speed and handling of a Ferrari for your 1985 Yugo GV". Microsoft Word is not intended nor designed to allow the level of layout control more high end design software allows.
