Hi everyone,
Since my group develops large volumes of documentation and training
materials, I am always looking for tools that can help save time. I am
researching plug-ins that are available for FrameMaker 7. So far, I have
discovered the following useful plug-ins for my team:
-Paragraph Tools 1.1- enables you to view all paragraph tags used in
documents. This tool also assists with conversion from one paragraph
format to another format. (This is great for conversion from one template
to another template.)
-Autotext 3.0- enables you to create a custom menu of graphics, symbols,
tables, and other items. Working with a custom menu is easier than going
out to reference pages.
