RE: InDesign versus FrameMaker (versus Word)

["Monique Semp" <monique -dot- semp -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

I'd recommend FrameMaker with the TableCleaner Plug-in:
http://www.frameexpert.com/plugins/tablecleaner/index.htm.

I didn't find the plug-in as intuitive as the website said, but once I got
the hang of it it was great! (And Rick provides excellent customer
support.)  I wouldn't consider doing any complex table work without it. 
And if the PASW Statistics 18 program can save the tables in tab-delimited
text files, that would be the best starting point for copying-pasting into
FrameMaker, converting to tables, and then using TableCleaner to format to
the desired view.

InDesign is a great page layout tool, but it's forte is not tables.  That's
not what InDesign is intended for.

And in that regard, does anyone have experience importing tables from PASW
into FrameMaker or InDesign?
