I do appreciate your help Bill, and I'll tell you honestly - I'm
probably going to simply recommend the upgrade to CS3 and *not* the
migration to FrameMaker.

Why? Because I'm okay being versatile and it would simply be an easier
sell. Strategically, I want some other software down the line that
will be far more beneficial...it's not ideal for ME, but hey, there is
never a perfect tool! I've used FrameMaker before and it wasn't my
favorite then, I doubt it will be now.

Plus, some of our layouts are pretty fluid...I have a feeling our
Graphic Designer and I would have grief over getting FM and ID to play
nice when it came time to print....oye.

So, it's all about economics, politics and quid-pro-quo. Give a little
to get a little.

Thanks for the help!
