I am developing an E-book version of my school's alumni magazine, and needed some help.

I was looking over other Magazines, such as The Atlantic and The New Yorker. Since both magazines are DRM-protected, reverse engineering them would take a lot of effort and work, not to mention potential legal pit falls. What I was most interested out of all their work was:

1. How they put together their magazine. What programs did they use?

2. How they added the footer to their magazine. I want to have links at the bottom of my own magazine so that readers can jump from article to article instead of going one page forward and backward every time.

For now, I am using Microsoft Word 2007 to create the drafts. I was wondering if anything better existed, that I could use. Is Microsoft Publisher any good? Adobe InDesign? Any help would be appreciated, as I have been working on this awhile, and would like to finish it once and for all. Thanks for your help in advance.
