Gasp! FrameMaker sucks??!!?? It's a while since I used it, but I used to
know it well -- I was the first UK reseller for the package, and sold it to
many corporates for their long document requirements. When I think of the
trouble Word has given me over the years I simply don't understand how
anyone writing a book could prefer Word to FrameMaker. This after just
having written a book with Word, and having watched it go through the
production processes. Shudder.
