Ingrid,

Read Thomas Michanek's previous post 10 times and then read it 10 times more. And then take it to heart. Trying to maintain or roundtrip a large manual in two DIFFERENT formats is virtually impossible and a waste of time. If the manual's being in Word is just for the convenience of the reviewers/editors/SMEs, then they should learn to use Acrobat for reviewing.

If it boils down to using one or the other, I would vote on Frame, even though you can probably do it in Word also. I just prefer Frame to Word for large manuals.

Good luck,
Van
