Hi, Thanks for your friendly responses to my mail with the subject 'First Time Framer'.
The reassurances that I have received from list members have been very comforting. The language of frame maker is still alien to me, so I have not been able to really appreciate the depth of insight that some comments carry. What isn't obscured is the fact that people are passionate about this software because it is empowering in them in their work. Where people have suggested downloading addins in response to my 'mailmerge' query (thank you Mike Whickham and Keith Smyth) I have followed their advice with blind faith. The downloads are sitting on my desktop, albeit uninstalled. I'm waiting until I have bought the upgrade to 7.2 or 8 before I venture down the mailmerge path. Unimerge is a possibile solution too, as is Eric L. Dunn's script, which I will contact him about. As I'm not hands-on with FM, I haven't yet encountered the same problems that people's' helpful hints and tips purport to help me avoid (thaks Ann Zdunczyk). I have printed these emails for later reference when no doubt they will save me a great deal of time and frustration. >From casual browsing of the web I'd gathered that the names O'Keefe and Loring were very much revered and I learned that a secondhand copy of 'the complete reference' was exchanging hands for a high price on ebay. So, thanks very much Steve Rickaby (and Bodvar) for helpfully guiding me towards 'publishing fundamentals' an identical book at a fraction of the cost of the 'complete' edition. I ordered my copy from scriptorium this afternoon along with a few other things - really I musty confess it's like getting kitted out for school. Thank you everyone again for your help and support, sorry if I haven't thanked you directly, I will follow the list with great interest and look forward to entering into personal corresponsdences in the future, Mark Mark Lawrence Director First Read This +44 01865 30 40 52 www.firstreadthis.com _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
