I am using Frame as my writing tool and Flare to create html help (single-source document). I will save Frame as a pdf to print the few copies of the book that we print.

For those using Flare and Frame together I have a few questions, just out of
curiosity.
Are you using Flare as your writing tool and then outputting to Frame for a
specific delivery format, such as print?
Or are you using Frame as your writing tool and then importing to Flare only
for production work?
Or some other scenario I haven't thought of?

I am using Flare 2.5.2. I have FrameMaker 7.0. Flare does not work well with
Frame 7.0 so I am upgrading to 7.2 and expect much better results. There is
a problem with graphics when using Flare/Frame7.0. Some of them do not come
over. There are some possible workarounds but I think just upgrading to
Frame 7.2 makes more sense.
Anyone else using Flare with Frame?

Hi:
Is anyone using RoboHelp 6 or Madcap Flare? If so, could you share your
stories. Do you recommend them for use with FrameMaker 7.2?
Thanks,
Aaron
