Framemaker 9 vs Microsoft Word

[Steve Johnson]

Where do you want to start? If you want professional documentation do
not use Word, do not even think about it.

Word cannot handle cross-references, there are various anomalies when
converting Word to PDF. Word has had a bug since 2.0 such that if you
put a hard page break directly in front of a heading and then
cross-reference to that heading, Word inserts a hard page break in
front of the cross-reference.

Word's attempts at paragraph formatting and templating are pathetic.
In general, maintaining formatting consistency is a huge PITA with
Word, whereas Frame gives you no trouble at all.
