Would anybody have any experience running a workflow with
FrameMaker as the typesetting tool and a Word as the tool for the
editors? We want to export RTF out of FrameMaker for rewriting and
corrections and reimport the updated files into FrameMaker. Is such
a workflow possible at all with the tools given?
All of our writer's, editors, and translators use FrameMaker. It
saves time and money. Some users may moan about the FrameMaker
learning curve, but then you're only asking them to edit text (you
said "editors"). Our people are technical anyway, so it was never an
issue. You may lose the odd x-ref marker, but you can always use
FrameMaker's brilliant Compare function to see exactly what someone
has changed. If you use a book and split your manuals into separate
files, you can easily have several people working on different
sections simultaneously. That's how we achieve simultaneous
publication in multiple languages.
I usually find that those involved in manual making are already using
FrameMaker, anyway.
As to whether you or your company is prepared to buy more copies of
FrameMaker, that's another issue. In our case, the additional expense
has provided an excellent ROI over the years.
