[techwordsmith]

I have to stay within  a couple of versions of the latest release to accommodate my tranlation vendors,  who struggle to find older versions of software. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

The ONLY reason I'm still sticking with Frame12 is because I have no need for structured documents and there haven't been enough non-structure improvements since FM12 to justify the cost of upgrading. Yes, some would-be-nice-to-haves, but nothing worth the price. The strength of FM is that I can still make it jump through serious advanced-level hoops despite its age. It just may take a bit longer. Same thing applies to me, too.CarolAt 04:29 PM 1/15/2020, Mike Wickham wrote:>New versions of FrameMaker always seem to concentrate on adding >features for the structured community. I get it.
