In my experience, FrameMaker takes awhile to learn, but you can do it on
your own if you're familiar with something like PageMaker or another page
layout program. FrameMaker has a tutorial book with it that is worth going
through. Also, it has templates that you can modify to suit your
needs--perhaps the best way of learning how to use the program and using
it to your advantage.
At the STC conference, I noticed a book on using FrameMaker at the Wiley
booth that had lots of good and understandable tips in it. Naturally, I've
left all my references at home, but I can send the title later unless
someone has it handy now.
