[Framers] Switching from InDesign to FM 11

[john.x.posada at us.hsbc.com]

Hi guys.... all below is cool, but let's not forget the primary concern. Whatever the factors, it doesn't matter. The only thing that's important is, handing the application to a person, how much work is required to get that person to deliver output. Everything else is background noise.

You will only know that by a hands-on effort.

From a trainer's viewpoint, I'd want to know the kind of documents the person had created in InDesign, and how they were created. If the writer created the bulk of the authoring with something like Word, then imported, placed, or pasted the content into ID, for layout and design, then it would be helpful to know the writer's approach in Word. From a writer's viewpoint, IMO, FM works more like Word than ID, so many Word work habits - good ones, and bad ones - are transferable.
Was the original authoring done with or without attention to systematic use of named styles or formats? Did they use named styles in ID, or ad-hoc?
