Moving away from MS Word?

[SB]

Thank you for all the feedback.

I am also wondering about Master Documents in MS Word. I hear this tool is
much better now.

So how do I start investigating this?

   1. Remaining with Word and use Master Documents? Possibly getting
   someone deisgn a stable template? What about "single sourcing"?
   2. Moving onto FrameMaker - it is a relatively serious transition,
   which will probably be true for any new tool.
   3. AutorIT?
   4. HATT - not sure what that it
   5. Arbotext - too expensive
   6. Dita?
   7. Other tools?

 And then I understand that XML is now the growing trend. How does it relate
to documentation?

Thanks,

SB
