Hi readers,
 
I'm posting on behalf of my documentation team.We are a team of eight
who write a complete array of documentation for a broad range of
products . Additionally, we use different tools -- primarily. FrameMaker
or MS Word for paper documentation, and Dreamweaver for online help
systems - and are all located in different states or India. We are
searching for a single tool we can use that will cover all (or most) of
our needs. We are starting with broad criteria -- we'd like a tool that
stores modular documentation and can handle the import and export of
PDF, FrameMaker, HTML, and Word files. DITA is not a required criterion.
If any readers of this list can offer suggestions for tools that can
support these functions, we'd greatly appreciate it.
 
I did check the Framer archives and found mention of products like TCS2,
MIF2GO, and WebWorks ePublisher. I suggested these to my team, and our
conclusion was that these did not quite have what we wanted for storing
modular documentation. Any other thoughts?  
 
Thanks in advance!
