- I have FrameMaker and MS Word. I agree that FrameMaker is better for large
- documents. It handles cross-references very well. It can auto-number
- tables, figures, and any number of variables that the user wishes to deal
- with.
-
- The only problem I have had is dealing with references (bibliographical).
- There are utilities for MS Word which can auto number and otherwise deal
- with their formatting like End Note and WordRef. Do these utilities work in
- FrameMaker? I would like to hear how people handle references with
- FrameMaker.
