RE: Frame vs. Word

["Keith Soltys" <keith -at- soltys -dot- ca>]

I have an article on my web site about this subject.

See "FrameMaker and Word: One User's Perspective" at
http://www.soltys.ca/techcomm/software_reviews/WordFrame.html

The perspective is mine BTW. I've been using Word since 1987 (Word 2.for
DOS) and didn't move to FrameMaker until 1998. While there are quite a few
things about Word that I prefer over FrameMaker, I consider FrameMaker the
tool of choice for documenttion. It's faster than Word, much more stable,
and with the appropriate add-ons (WebWorks or MIF2Go) produces better HTML
and PDF output. You may also want to see "The Joy of Single Sourcing" on the
Articles page of my site.

Regards
Keith
