What I can't do with Word... was "RE: Frame vs. Word Results"
Subject:What I can't do with Word... was "RE: Frame vs. Word Results" From:David Girardot <dmgirard -at- CORNETLTD -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 1 Sep 1998 16:25:17 -0400
Mike,
At my shop we use Word for everything too, but will be looking at Frame for
the following reasons:
- difficulty doing long-document cross-references
- difficulty doing lots of embedded docs or graphics
- need to do conditional text
The last one is probably the top priority. We generally require 2-3
versions of a given manual or set of training curriculum, and it would be
much easier to simply maintain all of the versions in one master set with
conditional text.

PS. Does anyone know what your options are for doing Online Help with
Frame?
