In this course course, you learn how to use FrameMaker for basic formatting; use and modify FrameMaker styles (tags), templates and master pages; automate chapter, figure, table, and page numbering; create and build fully functional standard hardcopy books.
- use basic tasks such as creating and saving files, making text italics or bold, changing fonts, changing tabs and margins, applying standard styles (tags) (such as for headings or numbered lists)
- apply styles (tags) and modify them as necessary
- use existing styles (tags) to format text so that it looks exactly like a PDF document (developed originally in FrameMaker)
- create comon types of tables
- apply templates and master pages, and create your own
- use graphics and unformatted text supplied by your instructor to create a well-designed technical document using styles (tags) that you have created.
- create and incorporate graphics into FrameMaker documents (with anchored frames); create simple drawings in FrameMaker
- document a simple computer hardware or software task using FrameMaker styles (tags) that you have designed
- create various styles of cross-references—both within the same document and between documents
- automate any numbering stream in a FrameMaker book; enable versions of the same documents, and create variables for rapid updating
- use reference pages to store frequently used graphics that must be positioned consistently throughout a document, to hold boilerplate material or clip art that you can copy and paste on body pages (for example, symbols for cautions and notes), and to maintain hypertext commands, formatting information for generated lists and indexes.
- "build" books using FrameMaker: bring multiple documents into a book structure and automate tables of contents, cross-references, indexes, and numbering streams
You use links, videos and transcripts of those videos to learn these tasks, e-mail your instructor when you have questions, and send your work to the instructor for review.
