Any up to date comparisons of Word and Frame

[quills at airmail.net]

Another thought.

You can use Notepad to program in various languages, but why would you 
want to? You are missing so many effective and time-saving tools.

Are you producing PDF files? If so, using Word removes a boat load of 
time-saving automatic tools for indexing, hypertext linking, and TOC 
generation, not to mention use of 3rd party tools that help you 
customize PDF production and end output.
