Background:
- there is discussion in my department regarding merits of working in structured vs unstructured for large docs, say over 150 - 200 pages; specifically, a new set of docs for Project X is coming through that will be worked on mainly by people Not familiar with strct fm, which means definite ramp-up time
- I've been working in strct fm for about a year however my docs are typically only about 60 pages long. I'm a proponent of working in structured fm however am not going to be on Project X
- two of the Project X team are familiar with strct fm. They are strongly recommending staying in unstructured. Their reasons include ramp up time for new writers and issues regarding working with imported table content (assigning paragraph tags to each entry, etc.)
Would really like to hear experiences of people who use structured FM for long docs as I can only speak to ease of use in shorter-sized documents.
Would like to hear advisability of staying in unstructured or not...Please advise.
Thanks!
