Learn to build elegant and easy-to-read long-form documents with Adobe FrameMaker 2015.
- [Voiceover] Hello and welcome, I'm Garrick Chow. This course is targeted to users who are new to Adobe FrameMaker and want to learn the features and tools for becoming proficient with this powerful document creation tool. We'll begin with the basics like touring the user interface, before getting into creating and exploring the various types of documents you can create with FrameMaker. We'll take a close look at working with layouts, and how to format documents and create consistency with master pages. We'll see how to work with graphics and import visuals into documents, as well as how to draw your own lines and shapes with FrameMaker's built in tools.
We'll work with tables and see how to format them in order to provide an organized way to present detailed information. I'll show you how to create interactive cross references to link related sections of your document together, and we'll also see how to combine multiple FrameMaker documents into a single book. And then how to automatically generate a table of contents and index for the book. Then we'll wrap things up with a look at how to share your book and formats that can easily be ready by others like PDFs and EPUBs. There's a lot of content to cover, so let's get started.
