Thanks for replying Thomas,

It looks like I am be round tripping it a number of times. As it stands, I am the only one in the office with Adobe products on my machine (the others only have Acrobat reader and of course Microsoft word.) Word is used most often and is familiar to the others. The person editing right now, is using word. For his convenience, I have saved all the various chapters as RTF and then as word so that he can use the track changes option which he is familiar with in Word. As far as I know this is the only way that he can track changes and make changes directly on the document as he only has adobe reader and no other adobe products available to him. I am using Framemaker 8 in the Technical Communication Suite.

Do I basically have to re-build my document as I am converting back and forth between Framemaker and Word. My boss has asked that we have the manual in both versions simultaneously. Am I using the wrong tool?

Should I have simply stuck with Word. It seems that I have wasted a lot of time and effort determining that we cannot use Adovbe Frameker if the ediotr does not know adobe products and does not have adobe products on his machine.

You menioned editing the PDF- could he do this if he only has the free reader?

Thanks,
Ingrid
