Hi Roy, prices should be the same as long as you pay a "per word" price. Whether your document is written in Word or Frame does not matter, it contains the same number of words. Vendors charging extra cost for "layout", "image translating" etc. just try to add as many items as they can on the bill, but this only shows they do not know how to handle graphics, Visio docs etc.
I am a translator myself, and I only stick to one thing: the number of words I translate, whether they come from a pdf, a PPT, Frame, Doc or any other source doc, and at a fixed rate. And if I do not know how to handle it, I recommend a colleague who knows how to! Cheers, Mathieu (Toulouse, France).

Someone told me Frame was generally cheaper, but they could not supply a source for the data.
