"Real Life" Migration to Structured Doc

[Anita Legsdin]

In my limited experience, Epic provides only an XML editor, and you're limited to working in native XML. FrameMaker can not only open XML files, but saves as XML as well, and in between is able to handle graphics better than Epic. If you're used to using variables and conditional text, then FrameMaker is a better tool.

You should also investigate training and other services provided by Lynne Price, she's one of the best when it comes to structured FrameMaker. (http://www.txstruct.com/)

We must move to structure to meet our future XML goal, but are
unfamiliar with both the transition and method to do so.  We are also
unfamiliar with the possibilities and cost involved. We are merely
looking at all of the possibilities and the long term value for our
dollar.
