Folks: I've got about an hour to train some engineers and software developers how to use FM as a writing tool when supplied with an existing template. This means that there will be no coverage of creating para formats, page layouts, etc. as these are all given. Since all of these people have used Word, what are the top 15 differences that befuddle and astonish the first-time user of FrameMaker? Your suggestions gratefully accepted ... I'll start the ball rolling: 1 Where is the cursor? (What is selected when nothing is selected?) 2 How do you get outline/normal view? 3 How come you need two para styles for numbered steps? 4 Explain again the difference between the Apply and the Update button. 5 How do you edit the headers and footers? 6 How do you split/add a single cell to a row/column in a table? (Or almost anything to do with tables.) 7 Conditional wha'? 8 I can't find styles mentioned in the Index. And what are tags? 9 How do you paint para/char styles? Surely the combined power of FM geniuses from around the world can come up with another six. And how about ordering them from the most confronting to the least threatening? [This is serious ... I need to get a few confusions cleared up in about five minutes.] [FrameMaker 5.5.6, Acrobat 3.02, Windows 98, HP OmniBook 2100] Regards, Hedley Finger Technical Writer Subscribe to the alternative framers: <mailto:majordomo@omsys.com?Subject=Subscribe%20to%20framers>; message must consist of only (no signature) -- subscribe framers your@preferred.email.address help end Ericsson Australia Pty Ltd Tel. +61 3 9301 6214 Cell. +61 412 461 558 Fax. +61 3 9301 6199 Email. hedley.finger@ericsson.com.au Hand Holding Projects Pty Ltd Tel. +61 3 9809 1229 Cell. +61 412 461 558 Fax. +61 3 9809 1326 Email. hfinger@handholding.com.au ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
