Hi.
I need some help. I've never written an FrameScript in my life, nor looked at
the help until an hour ago, so have mercy if this is a simple question.

imported graphic inside the frame. I understand from the MI

Hi Mike,
For me, hands down, the best was Classroom in a Book, Framemaker 7.0. It took
me about two weeks to
go through all the unstructured lessons, and it was worth its price in gold. I
highly recommend it.

The problem may be your network, not a Frame issue at all. I have noticed at my

A couple of people wrote to me directly asking where to get the two

(a) converts TrueType and OpenType fonts to PostScript font plus
accompanying expert fonts for old-style digits, small caps and
