As a matter of fact, I have. It has some great features, but can be
problematic in its own way. I've also used Pagemaker and Ventura. I love
Pagemaker for shorter documents but avoid Ventura as much as possible.
For tables, I still find it easier to fine tune the formatting and
functions in Word Perfect 6.0A than in any other program I've
tried--perhaps because Framemaker is not quite as friendly. I often have
more trouble getting from here to there in Framemaker.
