publishing environment.

 >Unstructured FrameMaker 7: Accelerated Introduction ($800, 2 days)
This fast-paced, intensive class teaches you about the basics of 
unstructured FrameMaker and then shows you how to use the advanced 
capabilities of this very powerful tool. You'll learn about FrameMaker's 
time-saving features such as cross-references, variables, and conditional 
text. You'll generate a table of contents and an index, and work with 
tables, paragraph tags, and character tags.

 >Advanced Unstructured FrameMaker 7: Template Design ($1100, 2 days)
During this class, 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 will 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 
will also create companion templates for tables of contents and indexes.

 >Structured FrameMaker 7: Introduction to Authoring ($1100, 2 days)
This course introduces you to FrameMaker's structured interface and shows 
you how to create documents with elements. Learn about elements, their 
relationships to each other, and how to manipulate them in the structure 
view. You'll create content by inserting elements for text, 
cross-references, variables, and other components. By working with the 
elements in a sample structured template, you'll see how templates provide 
you with a structure for your document and offer time-saving features such 
as automatic insertion of elements.

 >Advanced Structured FrameMaker 7: Building EDDs ($1100, 2 days)
This class shows you how to plan and design a structured template, or

analysis and its critical role in the EDD creation process, and then you 
will create an EDD. You will define container elements, and you will add 
elements for document components such as footnotes, cross-references, and 
graphics. You will also implement general rules, set up 
inclusions/exclusions and automatic insertion of children, add formatting 
to the EDD, and add prefixes and suffixes to elements.
