As far the "rivers," there is an option in Word when using justified text to ge
t rid of the rivers. It does not look good on screen when using this option, bu
t the printed version is excellent. See the article below.
The name of the option below is for Word 2000. I can't find that option in

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

Hi Mark,
Whilst FrameMaker does not have a mail merge function built in, there are a
couple of options that are available to you. Firstly, you could try and use
FrameMaker varaibles in the places where your variable content would go. You

me. All you have to do is select the correct print driver in the Print

Hi,
I hope you don't mind me introducing myself to the list and then asking

Mark,
Since your docs are nearly identical, you'll probably use conditional text
or variables in FrameMaker to create and maintain them. I'll let others with
more experience with those offer tips. But here are some other useful tips
for Frame newbies, bearing in mind that you're a stickler
IMO, if the results I'm getting from FrameMaker aren't good enough,
then the problem is in how I'm using it. IOW, the problem is with me,
not Frame. (grin)
