This program is great for DTP i.e. magazine production, posters etc.

My main use is in preparing reports and similar documents. The great advantage is a stable layout (the pictures do not jump around as you get with test based packages) and text can be made to flow from one text area to the next.

Effects can be added to pictures, for example transparency enabling you to have a dim picture under your text, and the text boxes can be re-sized, coloured, etc.

It will allow you to produce PDF’s direct from the workflow (hint: do not get versions lower than X4 if you want this option).

A great package all round and in constant use on my machine. I have been thinking of upgrading to X6 but so far X4 does all I require.
