Hi Bruce,
FrameScript is the equivalent and is very similar to VBA except for the
recordable macro part. You even have a script window to work in (although
this isn't as good as the VBA window with its debugger etc.) and a 'Script
Builder' to help.
You can go to http://www.framescript.com/download/scripts.htm to see samples
for comparison.
Like you Bruce, I use macros a lot when using Word but with FrameMaker, I
only use FrameScript when cleaning up legacy documentation. For day-to-day
work, there just isn't the need.
PS Mick, do you need WWP? Coming from FrameMaker, Mif2Go may suffice and is
a quarter the price of WWP. In my opinion, it's also easier and faster to
work with once you come up to speed.
Regards,
Bruce Ashley
