My guess is Adobe's goal in creating FrameMaker XML Author and pricing
it at $400 is to eliminate the cost savings incentive for structured

Hi David,
Lynda.com has a FrameMaker 11 course, but since it just covers the basics
anyway, it would be appropriate for FrameMaker 12. It will cost you $25 per

tons of great course on there that you will have access

David, just be sure you do not compare FrameMaker to PageMaker. Two different
worlds, one long gone and replaced by InDesign.
FrameMaker is more like a very able text processor with focus on text content,
rather than layout of individual pages. Be sure you cover master pages, format
tags and

Total ignorance is probably overstating it, but one fundamental fact you have
missed is that PageMaker and FrameMaker do *not* have a common ancestry. What
they have in common (besides the coincidental similarity in their names) is
that they were both acquired as mature products by Adobe.
Hmm..must be something to do with PDFs and security maybe? If that were the
case I wouldn't have expected them to work at all. Maybe it's got something to
do with SharePoint?
