Dear Verner, I have been working with table-heavy translated FrameMaker files (for clients, I am a translation vendor) for about 15 years now. Tables are always a troublesome area. Besides some of the other excellent suggestions already made, here are some other best practices that can help: ==

FM 9 books

2010-02-10 Thread Linda G. Gallagher
Framers, Does anyone know of any FM 9 books, aside from the Classroom in a Book? It's the only thing I've found that is just FM 9. (I know about Icon Logic's TCS 2 book, but that does not fit my need.) Has anyone used the Classroom in a Book for FM 9? I just requested a review copy, but I'm not

Linda: Scriptorium has a FrameMaker 8 book that we bought when we were still considering the move to FrameMaker. By the time a decision was made, FM 9 was out. However, the book is still very useful as the differences between 8 and 9 are mostly in the onscreen structure (ie, the pods). As far

I agree with Alison. In fact, until I got the FM8 book from Scriptorium last year, I was using the FrameMaker for Dummies 5.5.6 because the essentials are still the same. Nadine On 10/02/2010 6:48 PM, Alison Craig wrote: Linda: Scriptorium has a FrameMaker 8 book that we bought when we were

The Classroom in a Book for FM 9 is useless - speaking from personal experience. It was NOT written as a new book for FM9, but basically the author just updated 7.2 information and thought it would fit FM9 and it doesn't. More questions are left unanswered than answered at all. If you need to

I like the Scriptorium book a lot too. My only regret is that they decided not to publish the Structured FrameMaker version of it ... I hope that this happens sometime. I would gladly buy it! Z -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com

Utilities for FM 8

Hi! After a 3-year hiatus I am trying to work with FM 8 (unstructured) again for a non-work project. Having designed a lot of my own templates and documents, I know a *lot* about what's built in to FM 8, but I've forgotten all the utilities I once used such as Character Tools, Paragraph Tools,
