Hi Folks
At some point in the not-immediate future I will have to maintain content
currently being authored in Flare. This is for a single project and I have no
control over the use of Flare for the new content.
I do not have or know Flare - I author in FrameMaker (latest version). I assume
learn as you go. There are online tutorials. Lynda.com has
