Subject: Re: Help Creation Flow and Upgrading from
Fundamentally, unstructured FrameMaker has changed very little. I've
opened FM6 in recent versions and had zero problems. New features have
been added but old things all work pretty much the same.
FM8 switched to Unicode. Anything using the old Zapf Dingbats that was
bundled with FM will need to
Thanks.
I do have a few keyboard short cuts that I use a lot,
I will try to get them to give me another computer so I can download an
evaluation version to play around with.

I am working on a project to document a new machine that has a Windows 8.x
based user interface. All touch screen, swipe left-right...
Our current manuals have a pretty restrictive template in portrait

I recently did this same upgrade (going from FM 7 to FM12). The learning
curve was not bad. Mostly, it's getting used to a totally new (and way
better, in my opinion) user interface. I recommend taking the FrameMaker
10 essentials course that is in Lynda.com. Adobe changed the UI
Hi,
At the moment we are using FrameMaker 7.2 and ePublisher Pro version 9.2 to
create PDF files, and a collections of help files which are mostly html, with
2 or 3 .chm files
The applications mostly run on Internet Explorer (and the .chm files are for
the 2 that are not over IE).
