Graham,
I have been using Folio Views for several years. It has advantages over
some other products. The indexing, retrieval, and compiling are superior.
My problem, or rather my clients' problem, is the 5-8% royalty fee. I
would advise writers to use Folio if they are making internal documents.
If a writer is making a document for high volume sales, use another
product. I am in the latter category, so I use it when I absolutely must.
