<div>There is no comparison between Word and FrameMaker. Word if for writing letters home to mom and dad, FrameMaker is for writing documents in the business world. Word doesn't begin to have the depth or capacity that FrameMaker does. Anything done in Word that pushes two or more pages becomes inherently less stable, while FrameMaker can handle hundreds to thousands of pages. Make a change on the first page or any page in between in a FrameMaker document and the first thing you'll notice between Word and FrameMaker is that the FrameMaker guy isn't even holding his breath, while the word guy begging to the highest that the document doesn't choke and die. So, to summarise, Word is for writing letters home to mom and dad, while FrameMaker is for writing documents in the real world.</div>

The main advantages of Unstructured FrameMaker (as I see it) are stability and single-sourcing. You could show a video about conditional text and sharing chapters in books. As far as stability, a list of the features that are more stable in FrameMaker should do. You could add a slide or two to the video for that.<br>

Has anyone run across a video that compares Framemaker features to MSWord? It would be a great way to quickly educate potential clients about the benefits of migrating their documents to Framemaker. If you know of such a resource, please share the URL.<br>
