I work with my school doing the formatting for the newspaper. It is four pages long and I have only QuarkXpress 5 and PS 7 in my toolbox. That's not really the problem however as I am quite capable of formatting the newspaper right now. The problem is that my teacher in journalism has stopped using dummy pages to mock up what the newspaper will look like and now just gives me the stories and lets me do as I wish. I can handle this too, but I'm afraid when I graduate, the freshman that replaces me won't have the experience to do the same. Is there a trick or program or equation that can aid in the placement of articles? We have a four page paper, and never use continuations on articles. Is this something that you just must have an eye for, or is there another way?
