For the record... A comparison of random text sizes in PDF as created from FrameMaker 7.2 and Word 2002 on the same system (XP) shows the same or slightly smaller rounding deviations when using Word (eg: 10.02 in Word->PDF, vs. 9.96 in FM->PDF, when 10 points are specified in the source file).
And when it comes to the PDF quality of circles and rectangles drawn in FrameMaker/Windows vs. similar ones drawn in Word: FrameMaker circles and rectangles are composed of multiple segments (easily seen with larger/thicker objects), causing display problems at various magnifications. Similar objects in Word->PDF are just fine.
