Ah, so that's why you went the HTML route. :-) Remember, in FM, all the
content is in the .fm files. The .book file just contains pointers to
.fm files and information about how to combine them (numbering, PDF
setup, etc.).

Yes. Keep in mind what Art and I said about the Word template. And keep
in mind that many people have trouble with very large Word docs (the
ones that don't have bulletproof templates and rigorous procedures).

OK, you're using "FAQ" in a generic sense. Googling "FrameMaker FAQ"
returns no hits. 

In any case, good luck with this project!
