Fellow Frame Users:
Have you noticed that the Adobe people on these lists always chime in with
quick tips and great answers for things that relate to, oh say a TOC or a
Side Head, but when it comes to answering questions about Adobe's attitude
towards Frame, the emails for deafly silent.
I cannot tell you how many times a day I have to argue for Frame. And our
Bloody Engineers bitterly argue for that Microsoft product, because the
whole world uses it. I will say one thing for Microsoft, they do promote ALL
their products, including Word. Seems to me that Frame, like a Tech Pubs
department is nothing more than a stepchild, an afterthought, a pain to deal
with.
Perhaps the real issue is that Adobe has a captive audience when it comes to
Frame. If anyone out there wants to get together and start building a
serious competitor to Frame, please let me know.
