Is Word limited?

[Guest]

Are there documentation needs - and what are they - that Word will not handle
and I should begin recommending to my employer that FrameMaker is the way to
go? We are doing medium-sized manuals (but a lot of them) to be reproduced
and distributed from our own facility. If our product lines were to change
such that we begin to need to use a commercial printer, would that become a
deciding factor? We already have PageMaker in use for brochures that get
commercially printed. Do commercial printers have any problem accepting PDF
files made from Word documents?
