Re: [TCP] Documentum
You don't use Framemaker WITH Documentum, per se You use Framemaker to create the documents and then use Documentum to manage 'em within a workflow. So It depends on what you are doing with the content that is in Documentum. If everyone within the workflow has Framemaker, and no one will ever need to see the docs who doesn't, then yeah, you can use FM to create docs to be managed by Documentum. From my experience, people don't use Documentum as a version control program but instead to manage workflow (create a doc, send it for review, edit a doc, and so on). In this case, it's possibly not all stakeholders will have access to Framemaker and therefore the workflow will break. In the very large organization where I used Documentum, all documents that were managed were Word or PDF. ...sue On 2/27/08, Lisa Gielczyk (TCP) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's looking like we're going to be implementing Documentum here, and I'd like to know if FrameMaker is a good program to use with it.

Re: [TCP] Documentum
I once worked an interesting six months at a large medical devices company reformatting Word documents to the company's style standards so they would work within their Documentum system. Why, I don't know other than the fact that the documents had been created by a dozen different people and followed a dozen different formats. It paid well and they said they were happy with my work, so we were all happy. Dori Green __ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.

Re: [TCP] Documentum
FM documents have some characteristics that are different than Word that add a CMS twist. From a CMS perspective, FM documents resemble webs more than documents. Each .fm file can have dependencies on graphics and text inserts that are in lower directories. To integrate an FM file in a CMS systrem, that CMS system must be able to recognize those dependancies and either retrieve them with the document, or must adjust the cross reference on the fly so when you open the file, you don't get empty anchors and broken cross-reference links. It's elements like this that may not matter to those interested in 10% integration but do matter to those looking for 90% integration. __ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
