Use Indesign and PDF?

ALL design should be done with Word.
and Excel.

question though.
if the client needs to insert some info into the fax cover sheet....how would they unless they have the FULL version of acrobat....correct?

i like the way MS Word does curves

Bah word is fine, just work within your limits, if you don't have delusions of grandeur you'll be fine.

i like how it takes longer to launch than photoshop 7 even though it is essentially a glorified text editor

If you want to design something nice, why accept limits, or Microsoft?
I'm not sure why you can't use whatever you want.
If you are worried about some non-designer on the other end, how about setting up a Flash movie where they can type in whatever fields you want to have access to and put it on a #p frame and let them print that. I think Fax software works as a print function with the printer description controlling it. Am I wrong.

you could make a PDF with editable fields - which the client can put copy in even with reader.

mrboywonder: THANKS....thats a great tip.

thanks for the tips and help.

i'm actuallly in a similar predicament right now, only my client wants to use merge fields, thus ruling out the editable PDF option... =( so i hope you can sell them on the PDF!

Illustrator. Duh. Just save as PDF. you can even edit the PDF in Illustrator. Duh.

i can whip it up in illy in a flash.....once i save as pdf, how would the client be able to edit the info himself????thanks for the idea.

with the knowledge you can make that goddamn fax stuff with word. i made it two years ago, but my memory is pretty damaged...
it has something to do with eps and patterns.
thats my TIP!
hehe!
