Our company is still using PageMaker (technical documents). I personally am going to suggest using InDesign because v2 can now create tables and it could handle docs up to 9,999 pages. Question: Why would one use FrameMaker over InDesign? I downloaded trial versions of both SW and have come to the conclusion that FrameMaker, though powerful, is a bear to learn. Management would like to single-source to one composer only. We also do our fair share of more graphic orientated manuals, books, etc. Any thoughts from anyone who had to make the same decision of choosing between InDesign vs FrameMaker would be greatly appreciated. Thanx...Eddie
