We're considering moving from our currently inadequate Microsft Word
environment to a FrameMaker/WebWorks Publisher combination for our doc
development platform. To bolster our case for moving away from the evil
Microsoft Word, our manager has asked us to come up with statistics on which
doc development platform (or combination of tools) is considered the
"industry standard" in Australia. Does anyone know where I might find such
statistics?
I've also been researching what kind of pre-processing I might have to do on
our legacy .rtf files to facilitate the conversion of these docs to
FrameMaker; i.e., removing page and section breaks, embedded graphics, etc.
If anyone has any tips, they'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
