Thanks everyone for all your responses. I've been away, so I missed the last
few responses.
Some updates: I should have mentioned that the original docs are in Word,
not Frame, so that kind of conversion is not applicable in this case, but
the information provided is good to know for future
Hello Framers,
I am going to chime in here regarding InDesign scripting. InDesign offers
several scripting options: AppleScript for the Mac version, Visual Basic for
the PC version, and JavaScript for both. Since these languages have other
applications, there are plenty of resources for learning
Generally, unless you are using heavy XML (InDesign does XML but not as
advanced) or DITA (which ID does not support), it is a heated race. If you
are doing advanced XML or DITA, then Frame is the way to go.
Frame's conditions are slightly more advanced in that they can be applied to

One suggested workaround is to create a unique dummy top-level entry
for each separate index, and make the real top-level entries

Hi Laurie,
Not a heavy duty FM user; however, run FM 7 under Parallels w/XP on a
MACBook Pro.
Typed and edited a 300+ page book for a friend recently. No complaints.

Hi, Laurie.
since we're the ones who will be converting the old docs/maintaining etc.
It sounds like you have existing content in FrameMaker format, which is not a
deal
Hi, Laurie:
I'm an Adobe ACE for FrameMaker and InDesign, and I'm writing a book
for FrameMaker users who want to learn to use InDesign for the same
kind of long and complex technical publications. So, I've been looking
closely at the similarities, differences, workarounds, and tradeoffs

I have used both FM and ID, but despite their feature set similarities,
there is one monumental difference:
With FM, every single command and every single action has a keyboard
