Thank you, that was a very good read, i've still got a copy of that 'motorcycling' magazine from 1980 that previewed the katanas, looking at the mv retro bike i noticed that the exhaust looks exactly like the 4 into 1 system on my 250 kat

You're welcome guys !
Sparki, I just make it page by page under Corel Draw, (same vector drawing program I use for my posters) and convert each page to PDF before assembly. I find it pretty convenient as you can place every element where you want, without too much hassle. Manages columns, too, which is handy for the text
There's no real page layout management though, I do it by eye/hand !
I guess the same could be done with Adobe Illustrator but I've never been comfortable with it ;-p
