Not in the sense that you mean it, Rick. The brief was to give the authors a writing environment that allowed them to reproduce as closely as possible to appearance of the final book. In the end we did that with a combination of structured FrameMaker and SiliconPrairies' 'Autotext' plug-in. Building it all was a major undertaking, as the design had been created , probably in Quark, by someone with no knowledge of FrameMaker and its (few) limitations.
