FrameMaker 12 released

[Keith Soltys]

From a scan of their product pages and the few reviews out now, this looks like a compelling upgrade. I passed on FM 11 because most of the new features seemed oriented to structured authoring.  This release has the number one item on my list of requested feature enhancements - regular expressions in search. That alone would be worth the upgrade to me.

The improved conditional text pod, smart catalogs, and other GUI enhancements are also good.

I would like to know if they've improved the MS Word import. I didn't see any mention of that anywhere.

Regards
Keith
