Get a consensus on a sample from your organization that already exists and
everyone likes, then create one yourself to replicate that template in FM.
Shouldn't take more than a couple of days, including master page, reference
page, and Char & Para styles . I did that when I got to this bank and now
all my documentation (1500-2500 pages per month..I have a team of 8
contributors) look just like the documentation that everyone else in Word
is creating.

Understood Steve,
Please ignore. I need to think more about it myself.
Thanks...

Without meaning to be critical, Denis, your question isn't really
answerable as it stands. What sort of accessory, and for what? Is there
anything on the thing for which the accessory is an accessory for? Do you
need to match that?
Looking at your company's website, it seems that you are involved in
ordnance detection and disposal. That's a pretty specialized and technical
field and would, I imagine, involve many legal requirements for hazmat
warnings and so forth. Doesn't your company have an already-defined set of
documentation guidelines, look-and-feel and/or templates?
If you can provide more details, maybe someone on this list can give you
some leads. Aside from that, unstructured FrameMaker template construction
isn't hard, but if you want to start with something that will stand the
test of time you might consider involving a document designer. It's a big
field, which starts with the document end-users' requirements, delivery
media and so on.
