I'll second that earlier posting reccommending FrameMaker for long
and/or structured docs. Basically, it's a great writer's tool and is
excellent in a networked environment because different flavors run
on some 20+ UNIX boxes, Windows, Mac, and Next.

If you're doing short, design-oriented documents, you'll be happier with
PageMaker or a reasonable facsimile. If you're doing tech doc, newsletters,
journals or something similar, FM will probably make life a lot easier.

Frame is running two competitive upgrades (for Windows at least, I'm not sure
about other platforms). Straight licenses for Windows are about $350; 
educational discounts take it to less than $200.

Also, there's a comp.text.frame newsgroup you might want to visit...
