Re: Top 10 mistakes unstructured FrameMaker Users make incontentbeforetranslation

If I'm sending a Word doc out to people who shouldn't be messing around with the 
formatting, I use document protection to restrict formatting and style 
modification.  When the recipients open the file all the formatting commands are 
greyed out, they can't modify any of the styles in the doc and are only allowed 
to edit text and change it from one mod-locked style to another.

I've never had to worry about this with FM.  In the past, the fact that nobody 
outside the doc team even had the app and PDFs were the default "touch my doc" 
format was always enough.
