I've used FM to write training documents for my union. I can't do it as much as
I'd like to because, of course, not many folks have FM and they wouldn't be able
to maintain the docs. But the union has a group of tech writer members, so when
I write for them, I can use it.

I agree. And would note that the Wheildon studies were done well before the
advent of the Web, so the book has no comment about viewing text on screen.

Hello Framers,
I have a client that needs FrameMaker documents in Turkish.
I am now trying to create a correctly sorted index, but I have
difficulties with this.
Is there anyone who has done this before, or someone who can advise in
any way??
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards

If you read the excerpted pages on the Amazon listing, you'll get an
idea of the focus of the book. My local library system doesn't have
the book, and I'm not ready to buy in a rush, either.

OK, you've worn down my resistance and I must register my observations.
Reading on the computer screen is different from reading a printed page.
Reading on an LDC or TFT display is slightly different than reading on a
CRT. (A CRT oscillates at, or very, very near the frequency of the

Thank you for the info. Very informative. Now I know why my eyes burn at
the end of the day..its those damned rays!
Where does credibility, authority and believability fit in with all of
this? Which font? I want a font that, when viewed, reeks of leadership!

Hi:
I posted awhile ago asking about the learning curve for FrameMaker. I'm
starting to train myself with O'Keefe's book and Classroom in a Book.
But one thing about the page display in FrameMaker's workspace really
distracts me -- it's the way the left and bottom edges of the page seem
to run in
Dear Deidre,
The Classroom in a Book is a good one, I have learnt the basics of FM from that
one. Now it is in use of my brother, he is studying FM from it, I can recommend
it.

I'd look at Apple documents and IBM documents to see some good examples.
Both are online.
