I have a fair amount of experience using Word and FrameMaker. Frame
definitely outclasses Word in long/big book handling, including
graphics, xrefs, and file size. Word has some definite issues in the
area of long/big books and file sizes. However, please remember that
Word is a very fully-featured word processor. It has different strengths
than FrameMaker and a different market.

Agreed. Re:FrameMaker, the opinion is not valid. (Of course, that's just
an opinion ;?))
