According to the literature I have on FrameMaker, it's supposed to
have filters to allow automatic input from MS Word as well as other
products.  I was assuming that this is true; I'll ask my rep if it
isn't true...

By the way, I was considering a purchase of FrameMaker.  However, I
have a rather complicated document structure which requires
conditional text (if I want to produce document A, include text A,
otherwise include text B).  FrameMaker doesn't currently do this (it's
supposedly in the works), but I know they have a macro facility.  For
those of you who have the package, do you think the macro facility
would allow me to do this?

If not, does anyone know of a wysiwyg (well, we all know that they're
not *really* wysiwyg, but...) publishing system which allows this?
