I’ve been using Framemaker 8 to publish compiled HTML help for a long, long time. My office is about to be universally updated to Office 365, and it will include Publisher. With the update model for Win10 changing to continual updates, I suspect that the day in which I can no longer baby along my ancient Frame installation is fast approaching. I’m exploring my options for future documentation support.
The biggest hurdle is conditional text. Most of it is fairly granular, down to individual words. Does Publisher have anything like that? Can it do compiled HTML in the first place?
I wrote back the following:
Greetings from Coralville, IA!
I’m not seeing the connection between MS Publisher & FrameMaker so I’m curious. Why do you think MS Publisher is interlinked with FrameMaker? MS Publisher is a tool to create brochures, business cards, calendars, greeting cards, labels, newsletters, and postcards*, but at least on the surface has very little to do with generating CHM files. I also happen to have FrameMaker installed on my laptop, but I am not actively using it. I use RoboHelp 2015 to generate browser-based help for disaster recovery documentation.
I hope to learn something new about MS Publisher & FrameMaker that I never knew before!

*Yes, fine. I admit I opened Publisher 2010 (what I have on my laptop) and transcribed the options in the “Most Popular” section – I don’t have a reason to use MS Publisher ever…
But then I asked myself some questions:
- Where is Clackamas, OR?
- I found out it is near Portland, OR.
- How long would it take me to drive to Clackamas, OR?
- Per Google, anywhere from 28 -30 hours.
- What famous bands are from the area?
- There's a list from Wikipedia on another post - it was quite impressively long!
