FrameMaker 10 and 9 coexist?

I currently have TCS2 (FrameMaker 9). I am seriously considering upgrading to TCS3 (FrameMaker 10), However, many of the people that I work with will continue using FrameMaker 9. Can FM9 and FM10 users work on the same document with having to go through a FM10 save as FM9 limitation? Thanks!

Like you, I'd go with Frame, because you can easily get from Frame to .chm (if necessary) either through RoboHelp or MIF2go. You could do online reviews pretty easily with FM, using PDF as your reviewing tool. CMEs can cut in comments/corrections using Reader and those can be round-tripped back

I believe that I can go from Frame to .chm. No, you can't.  You could use Mif2Go (our product, for $295), or ePublisher (for way more) snip WebWorks ePublisher can also process Word files, if you decide to stick with Word. It can also process a mix of Word, FM, and XML files. Nadine

Hello Paul, I have been in a similar position. Businesses are all about money. You have to sell them on the idea that using Frame and/or RoboHelp reduces the project cost compared to Word. For example, you might prepare an estimate showing that using Word for the project would take 160 hours.

Hi Paul: Yes, you can go from FrameMaker to .chm files, but I would recommend using something like Mif2Go or WebWorks ePublisher because the native FrameMaker conversion has never been that robust. However, Adobe just released FrameMaker 10, so maybe it's better. For an online review

There is no native CHM conversion, merely save as HTML. You *can* save as HTML and then create all of your TOC/IX/keyword files, manage map IDs, and then compile it all outside of FM using HTML Help Workshop or another product with the compiler, but you also might have better uses of your time.

No, you can't.  You could use Mif2Go (our product, for $295), or ePublisher (for way more), directly with the Frame files.  Other apps, like Flare and Robo, import the Frame files instead, which means lots more work for every revision.  Robo claims to link, but see what its users have to say
