atw: Re: Framemaker vs OpenOffice

I have been trying to download OpenOffice and it keeps sending me in one of 
those annoying spirals. There were 2 Aus choices for download which one should 
I use? Actually I did try both and I still got the circular treatment. The Java 
download worked OK.
Either I am tired or there is something I am not doing - or both.

  Hi All: 

  ... Speaking of Framemaker (which I haven't used since 2000, I think it was), 
I was wondering about opinions on FM vs OpenOffice. 

  I always thought the advantages of FM were that, first, it was rock solid; 
and second, could handle multi-file documents with ease. But I found it more 
than clunky. (BTW: I've never worked out what it is about the look of a doc 
that says its an FM doc eg. you can tell Adobe Acrobat's help was written in 
FM, but I'm not sure what it is about the look that says that.) 

  Anyway... once OpenOffice settles down, could it replace FM as the 
wordprocessor of choice for large documents?
