Re: FrameMaker Info.



Hi,

I am considering using FrameMaker5.5 by Adobe for documents incorporating
many equations. I know it has a built in equation editor, but I have
never used it. If you can provide me with any info on its use, and the
use of FrameMaker as a whole, I would appreciate hearing from you.

I use MathType 3.5 with an ordinary word processer (Word 5.1 or Claris
Works 5.0) and the results are just fine. I don't think its worth going to
FrameMaker just to get equation capability when MathType works so well with
almost any program. I even use it in Claris Draw. Word uses a susbest of
MathType for its built-in equation editor, so you can see how easily it
works from that source.

I am not familiar with FrameMaker's equation editor, so I can't comment on
whether it will work as well as MathType is you decide for other DTP
reasons to go to FrameMaker.
