Diff Comparison between FrameMaker and Word

[Karen L. Zorn]

Are you asking what is different between the Word doc and the Frame doc? 
Or, are you asking what is different between English and Japanese 
versions? I'm not sure what exactly your translators want to know.

Your Word and Frame docs should have the same content. It's the software 
tool and the file formats that are different. Experienced, reputable 
translation companies should know how to verify the translation.
