Why FrameMaker vs. Word?
Stability when working with long documents
Graphics can be referenced rather than
imported, which keeps the source document
smaller
Document can be saved as separate files
(Table of Contents, Chapter files, Glossary,
Index)
XML content creation that separates content
creation from formatting

Hinweis der Redaktion Very happy to note that we will have colored icons in FM12. We got a lot of feedback from our customers and partners about difficultities in finding icons in the feature rich and busy interface. We hope that providing colored icons will help solve this problem
But we didn’t stop there. We knew the demograhics of our users and that many users are using FM on a high resolution screen. So, we are also providing the ability to switch icons to larger size.
And lastly, you can have your cake and eat it too. We are providing large colored icons as well
See full file path
Easily navigate across files
See unsaved files and close them with or without saving For those heavy users, this is something that I think you are really going to like. I’m sure I’m not the only one who dreads Windows Updates because it means closing all of the files I have open in FrameMaker and then having to open them all up again after the updates are installed.
