I have used AOLPress http://www.aolpress.com <-- it's free. Best on-the-fly
table editor. Can't beat the cost either.
Also: http://www.mmsoftware.com for a GREAT shareware HTML editor to
include java script and other neat things. $30 for individuals, $90 for
companies to register. It's great; Win95/NT 4 or 5, only though :-(
For the daring, there's always HTML-editing by notepad.

For FrameMaker training -- get as much as feasible. Don't cut anything
short, and I found the graphics section at Learn Soft a bit short -- could
have used more detail in the importing and sizing area. Not a knock at LS,
but could use a more indepth than the five minute wrap-up.
Just my view . . . have a great day!
