Subject:Re: replacing Word - Framemaker vs Indesign? From:TechComm Dood <techcommdood -at- gmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 1 Feb 2005 10:37:06 -0500
Think of InDesign as a very robust PageMaker.
Think of FrameMaker as a very robust Word.
Which best fits your needs?
Essentially, what do you need more? Layout (InDesign)? Or content
control (FrameMaker)?
IMO, don't worry about the future of FrameMaker. It's a very mature,
stable product that will work for years and years to come, whether
it's supported or not.
