FrameMaker's very practical typographic aces-in-the-hole -
side headings, straddle headings that run across all columns,
and across all columns and side heads, and run-in heading
paragraphs that "snug up" to subsequent paragraphs - aren't
what the "font-fondlers" mean by "sophisticated" typographic
abilities, but they are pretty rare among professional
publishing products, which gives FrameMaker an important edge
in usability and efficiency.

I agree with Steve. The time saved of being able to use
variables, conditional text, text insets, and custom books
built from shared chapters -- all features of FM that Word
can't duplicate -- has enabled me to produce quality,
custom documents that meet the various needs of our
divergent customer base with maximum efficiency. If I have
to change some info about a new development in a product, I
only have to change it in one place, and the next time I
print the 13 documents about that product, the change is
consistently present in all 13 documents. At this point,
the only thing I use Word for is online forms that we
distribute to non-writers.

me, Frame is mission-critical: no more, no less. I don't
know about broadening horizons, but if I'd been forced to
use Word for everything these past fifteen years, I'd have
given up tech authoring long ago.
