Is there a video demonstrating Word vs Framemaker?

[Carol J. Elkins]

I think there is so much more to say about a Frame vs Word comparison 
in a video than stability, single-sourcing, and conditional text. I 
am not an advanced Word user, so it is likely that I simply do not 
know how to force Word to do some of the things that Framemaker does 
so simply, but off the top of my head, managing files at the book 
level; cross-references that remain live when converted to PDF; 
automatic index generation;  etc. A quick google for Framemaker 
versus Word will bring up a lengthy laundry list of features that 
could be demonstrated side by side in a video. Granted, in most 
instances, the Word side would simply be sitting there looking dumb 
while the Frame side zipped along making our lives easier.

In addition, Scriptorium Publishing outlines a great Frame vs Word 
demo at http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/demo.html

I don't have any video experience, but if I did, I'd make this video 
in a heartbeat because I think it would be a well-viewed, valuable 
resource for Framers. I know Adobe can't do it for legal reasons, but 
it would be great if one of us who DOES have video experience could build it.
