Re: How many Framemaker Users -- Ballpark

[Rhea Tolman <rhea@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the heads up about the survey. I just went and give it my two 
cents worth. (Under "Authoring Tools," I put "mif2go" in the "Other 
tool/utility" box and gave it a 5.)

I'll be waiting eagerly for some of the answers. I've had several 
writers tell me over the years that no one uses FrameMaker any more. But 
in 14 years as a technical writer, I've seen only one place that uses 
Word. Of course, since I use FrameMaker, my experience is not exactly a 
random sample. I've been wondering for years what the Word/FrameMaker 
proportion really is.
