Fellow Framers,
I have a conundrum...
I have a huge body of work for one client done in FrameMaker. They want me to
do more work than I can handle alone. I have two colleagues who work with
InDesign, who might be able to help out. Would it be easier to migrate all my
FrameMaker files to
Which program makes the most sense for the content? And, if you

If you're billing by the hour and your client is loaded down with too
much cash, I'd move to InDesign. It'll take a lot longer both for the
conversion and on-going maintenance, assuming you started with Frame
