TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Does anyone have a "rule of thumb" or approximation of how big a document is practical in PageMaker? The standard description is "Pagemaker is for smaller graphic-heavy docs, Framemaker is for larger, text-heavy ones," but that's pretty generic. How many pages are we talking about here? (Of course a manual can be broken up into a separate file for each chapter, but besides that.)
TIA.
