Word has its place, but if you want to have a structured/disciplined 
approach to document creation, Frame wins hands down. There really is no 
comparison. I tried using WWP for Word, but I was so frustrated trying 
to set up the Word document for WWP that I gave up and went back to 
Frame. And I might add, I've been doing this for 18 years, and have been 
using Word since version 2.0, and there are still so many things I just 
don't get about it.
