Not that I am recommending XPress, I am not, but free is free.
Ok, I don’t know how to post it here but, if you are on Quarks education mailing list you should look out for an email where you can get a free copy of XPress 8. You have to sign up for their e-store, then confirm it via email they send to your academic address. Then you add an education copy to your basket. At one point in the check out, you enter a discount code which makes it $0. On that final page are serial numbers and codes. Print and save this page! Then you download the 60 day trial version, install it and enter all the codes and stuff to make it a full copy.
Meanwhile, I use InDesign.
