- I suggest that Ken should take the time to go thru the instruction material.
- FrameMaker is not overly intuitive. I have been using it for over five years,
- and I still find little things that make my work a lot easier (and some that
- make my work frustrating).
-
- It's been awhile since I've done this, so you mileage may vary:
-
- Enter `fmtraining' at your system prompt. FM should create training
- directories in your home directory, copy the appropriate material into it,
- then open a training session. Check your documentation.
