six months now on a set of large specifications. It offers reusable snippets,

The simple argument is that Frame can do conditional text and Word cannot.
Explain all of the benefits of conditional text, (and throw in variables, book
files, etc).
I worked at a company 12 years ago where they did OEM software for Multiple

Hi Kristy,
Nice to see that you are working on similar things as me several years ago
(only B747, mostly).
About the character format: what does the point size say when you click
outside of the text frame?

First, thanks to all who have helped with my EDD questions recently. I know I
am on the right track. A great help!
For today's question, I seem to have some formatting coming in that I cannot

Kristy,
As I understand it, the signal words "Note, Caution, Warning" must be on the

will absolutely guarantee that they will have to hire at least one more writer
and slow down manual completion.
