FrameMaker 7: The Complete Reference Is Now Available!

 

Now that Adobe has released FrameMaker 7, we're happy to announce the release of FrameMaker 7: The Complete Reference, written by our own Sarah O'Keefe and Sheila Loring (and published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill). Whether you're new to FrameMaker or an old pro, The Complete Reference offers all the information you need to get going in the newest FrameMaker release, including:

Working in unstructured, "normal" FrameMaker and in structured FrameMaker (formerly known as FrameMaker+SGML)
Importing, exporting, and round-tripping XML files
Automatically assigning master pages based on paragraph tags
Using WebDAV to manage files
Adding structure to unstructured documents
Building element definition documents (EDDs)
Developing templates

The Complete Reference is available at our new online store as well as at your favorite bookstore and Internet book retailer. For more information about our new store, keep reading.


New FrameMaker 7 Training and Self-Paced Training Materials

 

We've developed a series of FrameMaker 7 courses that cover the unstructured and structured interfaces for both beginners and advanced users. The five classes explain everything from understanding the FrameMaker interface to the advanced concepts behind building structured applications for XML round-tripping.

Attendees receive a copy of The Complete Reference and a workbook specific to the class.

If you don't have the time or money for a class, our workbooks are also self-study guides. Each workbook includes references to conceptual information in The Complete Reference and is accompanied by a CD. The CD contains the files for the exercises and animated screen shots with voice-over explanations.

The Unstructured FrameMaker 7: Accelerated Introduction Workbook is now shipping, and the Structured FrameMaker 7: Introduction to Authoring Workbook will be available the week of August 5. The other workbooks will be available during the next few weeks.

If you're an instructor and would like information about licensing our FrameMaker 7 training materials for your classes, send email to sales@scriptorium.com or contact Matt Arnold at 919-481-2701, ext. 105.
