Can someone tell me what the difference is (if any). Or is it a matter of preference?

Thanks,
Nate

PS - Sorry if this is in the wrong forum

Matter of preference. I f you use more Adobe products you will be more familiar with interface of Pagemaker. And oposite, if you work with Macromedia Quark will do it for you.

Neither works for "Web design". These are "page layout" applications, referring to printed pages, not web pages. And as I mentioned in your other thread (yep, you double-posted! That's a no-no, but we'll let it slide this time), your choice really depends on your workflow. For example, if you want to design meta-templates for a VDP application, you'd pick InDesign, as it has the most plug-ins for that workflow (xmpie PersonalEffect, for example). Similarly, if you're designing for eventual PDF production, you'd also lean toward InDesign.
