Well, you don't really have to mess with any typesetting prefs/controls if
you don't want to. The default settings in Quark or inDesign are already
much better than Word. You also don't need to play 'designer' in these apps
if you don't want to. Use them to collate, number and index disparate
docs/formats and finally output to various media.

You can use these apps almost exactly like a word processor, if you wanted
to.

To get back on topic, the original poster wasn't happy with embedding
graphics in Word, if I recall correctly. What I'm saying is, page layout
apps handle that exceptionally well, in comparison.

Best,
