I feel your pain. I was frustrated with PageMaker but loved it because I knew it so well. Then I went to In Design. WOW. This program is awesome. Still some limitations but if you know PageMaker it will feel natural. There are a few weird things like resizing pictures and moving them around within a frame. But a little bit of searching on differences between PageMaker and indesign and she'll feel right at home again.
If there is anything I can do to help please don’t hesitate. Also there is a video from
