TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
>From a technical standpoint, it works as described. You can import the Frame file when
creating a new project, or you can import it into an existing project.
I don't have Frame installed and I was able to import a Frame file. There were a couple
of glitches...for example, hyperlinks need to be edited after importing (something to do
with anchors in Frame that don't convert correctly). Those folks who know Frame could
respond to these much better than I can.
