I have to agree with Bruce. At the last company I worked for, we used Word exclusively
but heavily. Paragraph tags, macros, variables, lots of images, heavy use - and creation
- of custom templates. My next job used Frame. I got *one day* to play with it before I
got an assignment.
While I was admittedly less than proficient, I got the basics down in that one day,
thanks to the ways with which we used Word. Five years ago, the story would have been
much different.
