RE: Adobe Certified Newsletter -- notice about FrameMaker

Depends on what you're trying to do with it. I'd say I've given Word a
"serious look": I've been using it since my Dad bought a copy of the very
first version for his original 128k Mac, years before Windows even existed.
Since then I've used every version of Word, and I'm still occasionally
called on (i.e., forced) to use it for my professional work. I think Word is
a *fabulous* word processor -- I've never been a Word or MS basher -- but
it's pretty bad at the work I usually do with FrameMaker: publishing long,
complex, multi-chapter books for print and PDF output.

Of course, it's not clear to me that any of the reasonable alternatives to
Frame are any better than Word at doing the things I love Frame for, which
is why I'm [a] happy that I'm not Mac based (at work; all my home machines
are Macs) and [b] hoping for good news at the Chautauqua!
