These top­ics are designed for FrameMaker users who have been using the tool and are ready to cre­ate and main­tain tem­plates for com­plex doc­u­ments. Other top­ics include some help­ful trou­bleshoot­ing tech­niques, tips for design­ing a doc­u­ment, and point­ers for imple­ment­ing as many of FrameMaker’s auto­mated fea­tures as possible.

Pre­req­ui­sites

Par­tic­i­pants will have the expe­ri­ence to com­plete all tasks included under the basic top­ics. To be fair to other par­tic­i­pants and to keep the course on sched­ule, it is impor­tant that users are famil­iar with the mate­r­ial cov­ered with the basic topics.
