Hi Tim,

As Fred pointed out, there are tons of things you can do with FrameScript or
the FDK. I am partial to FrameScript because I make my living writing them,
but you can really make FrameMaker fly with FrameScript automation.

Frame is clunky; Word is quirky.

I have to agree numbered lists are Word's Achilles heal, although I can
(usually) get them to work. 

I worked for 10 years at a company where we used Word to create professional
documentation with page counts reaching into the thousands with very
consistent template styles and rare file corruption. We had the advantage of
a developer who could make Word do almost anything and had custom tool bars
and automated documentation generation built into Word. The flexibility
allowed by VBA programming is a great strength of Word.

That said, there is something comforting about the stolid reliability of
FM--once you get it figured out.
