For the past two years I have been all about FrameMaker, it’s what I used day in and day out. I used Word at home, and casually at work, but I’ve never really put it through it’s paces. Well, with a new job all of that has changed. Now I am forced to use Word for everything. So I’m having to search the nooks and crannies of the program to emulate things I did in Frame. So far, I honestly can’t see the big value in Frame, seeing that Word can save to PDF as well. It takes some doing, but you can get Word to do most if not all of the same basic things that Frame does – so what gives? I probably wasn’t making the best use of Frame, that’s my guess anyway.
I’m an Open Office guy, and I think it is clearly superior to Word. As a novice user, I find more advanced features much more easily than I do with Word. But, my wife has made her bacon on being a pro at MS apps, so you can guess what we use at home, and what I’m also forced to use at work. Word is still better than most, but I miss OO.
Just wanting to wish you and R a happy anniversary. Blessings to you in even greater abundance this year!
Thanks much.
