Subject:Why Frame not Word? From:Michael LaTorra <mikel -at- HUEY -dot- ACCUGRAPH -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 11 Jan 1995 18:04:32 MST
Frame users, your help is needed!
Upper management in my company is exerting pressure for
the documentation people to jump on the Word bandwagon
and abandon our dearly beloved FrameMaker. I'm now
in the process of drafting a report on the advantages
of Frame and the disadvantages of Word. Some of the
material for this report is coming from my archive of
TECHWR-L 1994 digests, but the search, copy, paste, edit
process is slower than I would like.
If you have any personal experience with Frame and Word,
I would appreciate hearing your arguments for one over
the other. You may post them to the list or send them to
me and I will summarize them in due course.
(Although I'm fighting to retain Frame, I will certainly
entertain any pro-Word arguments.)
Thanks for your assistance!
Live long & prosper,
Mike LaTorra
