We have these manuals that we make at the end of a project called O & M Manuals. They can contain 1000s pages of specifications and these specifications reference equipment cut sheet, calculations, maintenance schedules, etc. They are typically delivered in a bunch of big binders, but now we want to start delivering them electronically. I suggested that we simply use Word to create hyperlinks and use Acrobat to publish them electronically. That's not good enough � we want "slick". So I'm being asked to use Flash to build the document. I don't think Flash is necessarily the right tool and started looking at Framemaker.

Bottom line is, I'm a CAD and Computer guy. I'm hoping someone here might have a more intimate understanding of the publishing side. Any thoughts on whether Framemaker is the right tool?

Thanks for any help!
