Any up to date comparisons of Word and Frame

[Spectrum Writing]

I also agree. I have a client, that despite everything I have ever
demonstrated, tabulated, kept track of, etc. is insistent that I do all
original development in Word and yep, I have shown/demonstrated
unequivocally that things can take up to 30% longer to accomplish. Many,
many times, I fix "A" don't even touch "B" and go in after the fix to find
now that "B" is totally hosed for no apparent reason other than Word felt
like crashing/mucking up again. I know more workarounds in Word to force it
to do what I need/want than actually know how to use it the way it is
"supposed" to work and that's a big "supposed." 

As for 2007 - I agree about how non-intuitive the ribbons are, which just
adds to the time. Finding a command that was once one click, maybe two
clicks at most is now three to four, if it's even where you would expect to
find it, is the norm with this blasted ribbon.

My two cents worth,

I have to agree with Carla on this point. Although, I'm tempted to amend her
statement to say "it would take AT LEAST 25-30% longer". I haven't used the
most recent version of Word either, but I'm sure if things had improved, I'd
have heard about it through the grapevine.

you are continually "fixing" things that shouldn't have had issues to start
with. I estimate that Word docs take 25-30% longer just because of the
inherent issues.
