]If you are professional writers, you won't like either Framemaker or Publisher.

]you will find that you have to follow the menus every time -- there are

]You will also find that the integrated art is for amateurs too. If you are
]used to doing good art on your Macs, plan on driving your artists up a wall.

]In general, Framemaker and Publisher are good for projects where documentation

]a living, but they are very good for engineers and supervisiors.
