Somewhere in my travels I came upon some information about DeltaView - a
software package that allows you to compare versions of documents. I
downloaded a trial version and I was very impressed (you can see a
demo/download a trial at www.workshare.com). Unfortunately, the price tag is
a little steep - my Project Manager has yet to recuperate!
I have two requests:
1. Does FrameMaker allow you to compare documents? If so, how easy would it
be to import my Word documents into Frame and do this comparison? (My
experience with FrameMaker was a long time ago and was quite limited at
that.) I have a template that I use for our documentation in Word (if that
matters).
2. Is there another product that you would recommend that doesn't carry the
$4000 US price tag. (It's a neat package, but it seems a bit overpriced to
me. Then again, that's probably why I'm a Technical Writer and not a
marketer or sales person.)
Thanks for your help,
Deb
