As it turns out, I was about to ask this list the exact same question. We also have always used unstructured FM, but with the recent integration of documentation teams within multiple business lines throughout my company, I can see that structured FM may be considered as part of a solution for content reuse or for single sourcing. I too would be interested in the responses to Nancy's questions.
Thanks, Mark -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nancy Allison Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 2:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Switching to Structured FrameMaker Hi, all. With regard to structured FrameMaker, I am very late to the party. In fact, I have never used it yet. There's a good chance I'll be asked to investigate whether it would be useful to my current client. I thought I'd get a head start on the issues by asking for information from people who have made the switch. Here are my questions: --What was your documentation situation? (How many product lines, how many publications, how much single-sourcing, how much translation?) --Why did you (or your manager) decide that it was time to switch to structured documentation? What kind of limit had you reached? --What kinds of output do you create from structured FrameMaker? --Has structured FrameMaker made your work easier or more efficient? Has it improved the responsiveness or quality of your documentation? Feel free to tell me something else, if my questions don't address your situation. Thanks for all responses. --Nancy _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [email protected]. Send list messages to [email protected].
