Hi Kirshna, I notice one item that is lacking - graphics.
Graphics can range from simply importing an existing file to creating a complex 3D drawing from scratch. Thus the estimate for each graphic can range from minutes to days.

Our documents are in Frame and Word. The final output is in PDF format. ******************************************************************** Baseline from the STC website: Writing new text 3 - 5 hours per page Revising existing text 1 - 3 hours per page Editing 6 - 8 pages per hour Production preparation 5 percent of all other activities Consider this preliminary estimate to represent the number of hours needed if you follow your ?normal? development process and if the project proceeds without any major problems. ****************************************************************************** Thanks, Krishna _________________________________________________________________ Express your personality in color!
