TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
> Is anyone else on this list doing this kind of work with FrameMaker?
Yes, at Sendmail we import the PPT slides (saved as gif files) into
individual anchored frames. All of these slide pages use the 'Right'
Master page, which is actually centered so it can be printed as either
right or left.
The instructor notes pages use the 'Left' Master page, and are
conditional.

We have openings in both our July and August classes (SF & Emeryville,
CA) :-)

Not that I've ever found.
At the STC Region 8 (Hawaii) conference last year I took the Framemaker
product managers to task about the lack of support for importing
Popwerpoint slides individually, and they promised to have someone try
to implement single_slide-to-single_anchored_frame functionality. They
were very surprised to find that importing a PPT presentation into Frame
puts the whole thing into one anchored frame as a link. Apparently,
that's not what was called for in the spec.
I mentioned that they would expand their core market for the product
into the thousands of technical trainers who need both PPT and print....
they liked that idea.
