Does anyone know of some really good training courses for Framemaker? I am new to it and learned it in bits and pieces - consequently I am having difficulty with our publications. ie I cannot get the bookmarks to de-expand (I have way too many sub-categories showing up); I cannot get the numbering to work properly; my appendices are so not working correctly; etc etc. Does anyone have suggestions for me?

RE: FrameMaker to InDesign
Hi all: A second option might be to save your files as MIF which can be used by many software programs. I also have a customer who needed to open FM files in a different program and this process worked quite well for him.

Then open the tagged text file in InDesign to get fully-formatted text. This would work well for simple, consistently formatted FrameMaker documents. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Hi All, I have been contacted by a customer to find out what is needed to convert FrameMaker to InDesgin. They say they will be using InDesign CS2. Has anyone done this and if so what are the steps. Any help would be great. Thanks Z ** Ann Zdunczyk President a2z Publishing, Inc.

MIF question
I've found that with a book, I can use MIF Save and save the entire book rather than having to save one chapter at a time. For me it has been a time (and grey hair) saver -Original Message- From: John Posada [mailto:jposad...@yahoo.com] Sent: May 30, 2006 10:03 AM To: McKinney, Doug; 'framers at lists.frameusers.com' Subject: Re: MIF question Importance: High MIF is to FM as RTF is to DOC. It is a plain text version of a binary FM file. Take an FM document and save as MIF, then open in a text editor such as Wordpad, Crimson, Text, or something other than FM. You'll see what it looks like. > I've been a technical writer for about seven years and have > followed this list off and on during that time.
