Unfortunately, Word does not make it as easy to link/reference the
graphic as other programs do.
It was always dead easy for me. Just get up the Insert Picture browser,
select the pic you want to insert, and then select the Insert mode. That was
from Word 2003. What's happened since 2003?

Where do you want to start? If you want professional documentation do
not use Word, do not even think about it.
Word cannot handle cross-references, there are various anomalies when
converting Word to PDF. Word has had a bug since 2.0 such that if you

Hi Tim,
As Fred pointed out, there are tons of things you can do with FrameScript or
the FDK. I am partial to FrameScript because I make my living writing them,
but you can really make FrameMaker fly with FrameScript automation.

I don't think too much has changed between the two in the last few
versions, except if you are interested in single sourcing. (Frame has
better DITA support than earlier versions.)
I find Frame's two greatest advantages to be automatic error checking
when updating books and single sourcing.

comparisons.
