Using the workbook, you will build a FrameMaker template by adding master pages, paragraph and character tags, table tags, and other formats to a default FrameMaker document. You wíll add and implement color, and incorporate time-saving features (such as automatic running headers and footers) to boost the productivity of the writers using your template. You wíll also create companion templates for tables of contents and indexes.

Both the downloadable and printed versions of the workbook contain the same step-by-step exercises and include the files you need to complete the exercises. Both versions also offer access to video clips that show you how to use the FrameMaker interface.

Notes:

• You can use this workbook to learn FrameMaker 8; there are very few differences in the unstructured interfaces of versions 7.x and 8. This workbook does not cover new features in FrameMaker 8, including conditional expressions, Unicode support, and rich media support.
• Downloadable workbooks are not for use in classroom training. Please contact sales@scriptorium.com for licensing information.

Do I really need a FrameMaker reference to complete the exercises?

The workbook doesn't contain detailed conceptual explanations. Instead, we suggest you purchase a reference book to get that detailed information. We recommend Publishing Fundamentals: FrameMaker 7 (formerly FrameMaker 7: The Complete Reference). For your convenience, the workbook refers you to specific pages in Publishing Fundamentals: FrameMaker 7. (Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FrameMaker 8 contains the same conceptual information you need when using the workbook to learn FrameMaker 8, but the workbook does not reference specific pages in that book).
