Subject:Frame vs. Pagemaker? From:Karen Schriver <ks0e+ -at- ANDREW -dot- CMU -dot- EDU> Date:Fri, 31 Oct 1997 13:43:19 -0500
Hi everyone,
Sorry if this question has been answered before, but would you give me
your assessment of why you would choose to use Framemaker versus
Pagemaker? In which contexts would you use either? What features make
the difference for the tasks you do? I note that most people on the list
use Frame and wonder if there are other competing programs that people
like as well. Do you believe the main advantage of Frame is greater
flexibility for cross referencing and indexing?
