I have FrameMaker and MS Word. I agree that FrameMaker is better for large
documents. It handles cross-references very well. It can auto-number
tables, figures, and any number of variables that the user wishes to deal
with.

The only problem I have had is dealing with references (bibliographical).
There are utilities for MS Word which can auto number and otherwise deal
with their formatting like End Note and WordRef. Do these utilities work in
FrameMaker? I would like to hear how people handle references with
FrameMaker.
