Do I understand from all of this that FrameMaker is no longer sold *at all* as a stand-alone product (ie, subscription method only)? If it *is* still sold as a stand-alone product and you occasionally take a course or 2 at a local accredited (per Adobe standards) college or university, see if you can get a copy at student rates.

MadCap Flare does a great job of importing FrameMaker files. I'm not a big fan of it since it's installed single-user Windows software, but it's a very powerful tool that can do almost everything FrameMaker can, usually better, and a lot more besides. If you use FrameMaker only for page layout, then consider InDesign. Yes, it's another Adobe program, but it's the standard among graphics professionals and from what I hear they get better support than FrameMaker users do. Also, there's a very active and friendly user community. There's a third--party tool that can convert FrameMaker files: http://www.dtptools.com/product.asp?id=mfid _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
