Hi Joanne, All of West Street's software is well thought-out, and well-written. The author, Russ Ward, is a technical writer that has developed FrameMaker plugins to solve problems and overcome obstacles in his own production environment.
I have been very happy with FrameSLT. I am currently structuring a set of unstructured documents for a client, and have found FrameSLT very valuable. I can use it to quickly change one element another, or apply and change attributes, as I iteratively develop the structure. It uses XPath to find elements/attributes in a document, which I find easier and more natural than Frame's Find dialog box. FrameSLT can be controlled by other plugins and scripts, so I use it in conjunction with FrameScript. Rather than recursively looking through the element tree for particular elements/attributes, FrameSLT allows me to use XPath in my scripts to quickly find the elements/attributes that I am looking for. I would suggest that you download the trial and work through the excellent tutorials. This will give you a good feel for FrameSLT and its possible uses in your workflow.
