Sure, when they aren't using MS Word. From my personal sample, PageMaker is
still the favorite, but the sample is biased towards people whose business is
producing "coffee-table" books with a high ratio of color art and the bare

My cousin still sets metal type by hand (in addition to wedding invitations, a
big part of his business is fixing mistakes made by big printers in things like
corporate annual reports).
