So far in this course,…we've been working with individual FrameMaker files.…But one of the most powerful abilities of FrameMaker…is that it allows you to group individual files together…to create a book, also known as a book file,…which lets you associate and work with…several documents together.…This makes it a lot easier to paginate across files,…update things like cross-references,…and you can generate special documents,…like a table of contents or an index for the entire book.…Creating a book file also greatly simplifies…updating and formatting across documents.…So in this chapter,…we're gonna look at working with books,…starting here in this movie,…with how to create your own book file.…
First, let's take a look at one that's already been created.…I currently have no documents open,…so we're looking at the Welcome or Getting Started screen,…and from here, you can click Open,…or if you'd prefer, you can go to File-Open,…and here we have several individual files…with the regular FrameMaker icon…we've been seeing throughout this course.…
