Pete, It certainly seems to be a more realistic alternative to Framemaker than Word, and I get the impression it is reasonable alternative to Publisher, which has been the focus of so many forum posts recently.
However, I admit this is based on what I have read, and not based on personal experience. Graham On 08/02/07, Pete Holsberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

"What matters is not how the comparisons are weighted, but that they can be reasonably made at all. Users of Writer may wish for some features of FrameMaker. They may need to adjust to a different logic and layout. However, so long as they take the time to learn Writer, they can be in little doubt that they are using software that competes with FrameMaker on its own terms, and wins as often it loses. Even ignoring the cost and philosophical differences, OpenOffice.org is clearly an acceptable alternative to FrameMaker." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
