This is my first topic, so go easy on me. :D

I got a customer who wants me to design her job application. I want to design it with Adobe illustrator and set up the text with indesign. However the client does not own copies of these programs, which then leads me to the question:

How should I export the final product for my client, so that it is easy to edit in the future. Either for Microsoft office, or maybe by some easy freeware program?

Any ideas?

Lets try to make the comments an answer, shall we. Feel free to edit.

First of all find out what software your client uses and what version (for example newer word files can embed pdf as images). Then you need to, preferably if at all possible, use that same version.

Design in the same application as the client will be using, othervise you risk not being able to replicate it in target application. There is a reason why word is no InDesign, its just missing a lot of functionality, so manage expectations. You can still despite all this get good results, and learn something in the process.

You need to work with your limitations, dont go moping around what you could do if the systen was better. This is not conductive, a true craftsman does not blame his tools. You can use tables or textboxes, but be sure to test this thoroughly if your not used to working in target application.
