Oh my....your soul may yet be saved brother Michael. Are you coming over
from the 'dark side' at last?
I thought I just saw a little light turn on in heaven.

Indeed, Andrea (T).
If it had not been for Rhonda (B)'s endorsement of AuthorIT and for Steve
(H)'s offer of his own undoubtedly fine edition making tool for Word, I
would have piped up sooner and, despite (or perhaps because of?) my
regular use of Word, would have proclaimed:
"THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR FRAMEMAKER!"
(Exit stage left as mild mannered reporter Hedley Finger dives into a phone
booth, pops on a cape, sticks his undies on the outside of his leotards and
turns into "The FrameMaster".)
In my experience, Howard (S) a structured version of FrameMaker is about
the only tool that you can depend on to do this stuff reliably, without
losing
too much sleep.
Word can do almost anything, with the right skills and experience behind it
but, I wouldn't want to RELY on it for a job that can encounter so many
variables and that will need to enable future revisions across the
distribution spectrum that you propose.
Oh no. This has just opened up the Word vs Frame argument again.
Sorry Guys. :-(
HTH not hinders
Cheers,
Michael Granat
