graphic help

["Gil Yaker" <GYaker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I'm new to this list, and I've only been using Frame for a little less than
6 months, but I've been a tech writer for about 10 years and never was at a
company that required a tool as robust as frame for delivering content. On
some discussion groups it seems that for writers, Framemaker is like this
beast of an application that eats people... I don't know about that. But I
do have a question:

Is there some system or rationale for dealing with graphics in a document?
I'm not quite understanding the purpose, limitations, and capabilities of
both a graphic object and a graphic frame.

Actually, let me get specific. Our document uses side headings. If you put
the cursor in the text column and import a large graphic that's wider than
the text column, I think Frame creates a graphic frame that's cropped to the
size of the text column. So then I have to change the graphic frame to
uncropped and size the graphic appropriately.

Short of asking is there an easier way to do this since I have ~50 full page
diagrams to import into my document, my question is more of 'what don't I
understand about how frame handles graphics, and what's the right way to
complete what I'm trying to do?'

Thanks,
Gil
