Interessant! I am curious to know about the white papers. Any praising the
benefits of FrameMaker 6 over Word 2000? All such comparos I've come across
lately have compared FrameMaker 5.5.x versus Word 95/97 and are getting
out-of-date (timewise, not featurewise).

Ah-ha . . . but these are folks who took a FrameMaker class and, hence, a
frame of reference . . .. Sounds like a very good idea. I would be curious
to know what percentage do keep up their skills that way . . ..
Cheers and thanks for the follow-up!
