Folks, in your opinion, what is the best DTP for documents running around
200 pages or so with lots of graphics? We've been trying to use Word 6,
but it just won't cut it anymore.
-----------------------------------------------------
I use FrameMaker AND Word 6 and I'd choose Word for the type of document
Horace is talking about, as long as I could keep the graphics in seaparate
files--Word definitely gets quirky as document files get long. I find Word
far more friendly than FrameMaker, but FrameMaker essential for very long
documents. Several Word features (master document, numbering) do not work well, it's true, so I just don't use them. Simplistic, yes, but I rarely
need these features.
My $0.02 worth.
