FrameMaker - Basic/Intermediate Adobe FrameMaker

Basic/Intermediate Adobe Framemaker

Basic/Intermediate Adobe Framemaker (2 days) provides a thorough grounding in FrameMaker used in unstructured mode (standard FrameMaker). From first principles, you learn how to use FrameMaker's most popular features and a range of techniques for generating documentation of a high standard.

Advanced Adobe Framemaker (1 day, following on from the Basic/Intermediate course) teaches further useful techniques when working in unstructured mode, including producing books comprised of multiple documents, generating a table of contents and index, using variables and inserting cross-references.

The mode of delivery combines lecture, demonstration and hands-on practice. Class numbers are small (maximum 8 delegates), providing ample opportunity to discuss your specific requirements with the trainer.

Armada is an Adobe Authorised Training Centre (AATC), and this is an Adobe-accredited Framemaker course. The trainer is an Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI), and an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) in Framemaker .
