Re: Practical Limits of Files Size in MS Word

My advice... "If it ain't broke,..."  ;-)

Making the change from Word to Frame has
certain advantages, true; but it isn't
without its disadvantages. IMO, file size
is one of the least important considerations;
there are well documented methods that allow
you to create books of gargantuan proportions
in Word.

Before you recommend a change, ask these
questions:
  *  Are you the only one that works on docs,
     or are you an addition to an existing team?
  *  How many seats of Frame will they have to
     buy and for how much money???
  *  How many people will they have to retrain?
  *  How will this affect existing workflow and
     procedures?
  *  What supporting software will also need to
     be replaced (e.g., do you also need to switch
     RoboHelp Classic to Web Works Pub?)
  *  Will legacy docs need to be converted? All
     at once, or little-by-little?

And maybe the most important:
  *  What *existing* problem will the change solve?

Bottom line, what will their ROI (return on investment)
be? Worth the switch????

Just my two cents.
