We had a client that wanted line numbers in a document, a new feature in
v11. We would not have upgraded otherwise. It was literally a 'if Frame
can't number the lines, we put this back into Word' situation -- for a
400 page specification document. I cannot imagine the pain of trying to
wrangle something that large and complex in Word!
Sadly, having spent the flippin' $600 to upgrade, they were not happy
with how Frame does the line numbers (they wanted contiguous numbers
thru the entire 400-page book, whereas Frame restarts in every chapter
and at every 1000th line). So we ended up having to throw the problem
over to Rick Quatro, who came up with an excellent scripted solution at
a fraction of the upgrade cost. Which is quite possibly why I'm so
peevish about the upgrade price:we spent $600/employee for nothing we
could use.

Why pay anything to upgrade FrameMaker? Adobe hasn't added any
features that I'd pay for since FM8 added Unicode support. I never do
anything new with it so I never need support.
What requirements do you have that FM9's not meeting?

Question: MacCap's site lists upgrades as 'starting at $499' -- we'd love to
find a more cost-effective alternative to FrameMaker.
