To be very specific about this (and to hopefully avoid the seemingly annual "FrameMaker is dead" ritual), there are absolutely NO plans within Adobe at this time to discontinue FrameMaker in favor of InDesign. The features added to InDesign that are "Framemaker-like" are specifically per the request of InDesign users and have not been intended as a means of inducing FrameMaker users to migrate although that may be the unintended effect in some cases.
In fact, the next major release of FrameMaker is currently under active development with thoughts as to what would go into subsequent releases. - Dov > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Gold > Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 10:38 AM > > Hi, Lea: > > On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 11:57 AM, Lea Rush <lea at astoria-pacific.com> wrote: > > Hi Peter, > > > > Thanks for the reminder and the link. > > You're welcome. > > > Quite frankly, I'll be using Frame > > until it's metaphorically pried from my cold, dead fingers.
