practices for correcting the imported content and formatting
in FrameMaker, including:
Quickly locating styles that need retagging after
conversion
Using advanced search features during reformatting
Efficient tools for correcting converted tables

externally referenced files (reducing document size)

Course attendees receive a free FrameMaker plug-in that
automatically converts the first row of each table to a
header row, a Best Practices document on converting legacy
files, training materials, and a recording of the training
session. Because the course assumes some knowledge of
FrameMaker, ENLASO will hold a complimentary one-hour
overview of FrameMaker online the day before the course, for
attendees who need more background on FrameMaker.
Attendees will also be invited to submit a short problem
Microsoft Word document to the instructor before the
WebSeminar, so actual real-world examples can be used
during the online training.
