Course Description

As with all of our classes, our Advanced FrameMaker classes are hands-on and project-driven. In this 2-day class on the advanced features of unstructured FrameMaker, you will be working on several separate books, along with chapters from a book and a flyer. For more details on the specific features covered, see the list under Class Topics.

Because students will work along with the instructor to complete a series of projects, we recommend using two displays in our online classes (this could be two monitors, two computers or a computer and a tablet), so that the student can keep one eye on the instructor’s screen as they work.

NOTE: We will not be sending a FrameMaker workbook. Instead, your class will be recorded and sent as a reference tool at the end of each day.

Who Should Attend the Advanced FrameMaker training class?

This class is designed for the technical writer (or the aspiring technical writer) who has attended the Introduction to Adobe FrameMaker (unstructured) class, or is comfortable creating new documents and working with the Character, Paragraph and Table Designers. In this advanced class, we complete our understanding of document-specific features (i.e., anchored frames, cross-references, footnotes and conditional text), and then move on to collecting individual documents and combining them into books. We will also cover electronic publishing from a FrameMaker document or book.
