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.
No, you're not required to have all the files open. But any errors in those
files (e.g., missing fonts, wrong FrameMaker version) can cause problems
when you update the book. If you open all the files first, you can bypass
those errors (although you should go back and try to fix them). Plus,
opening all the files makes the update go much quicker in my experience.
