I can't comment on questions 1 or 2, but I used Adobe's Framemaker
Classroom in a Book when I got FM 5.5.6 and it is wonderful!!! I was a
newbie to FM and it gave and excellent comprehensive approach to the
product.
Good luck!

OK, puh-lease, help me with these questions:
1. Granted, FP creates bad HTML. What's the best book for
learning good HTML (as a beginner)?
2. I've created two nifty sites with FP98; no complaints
from <any> viewers. Granted, they are simple. But FP has
never given me a problem.
By radical contrast, NetObjects Fusion 3.0 crashes when you
attempt the <tutorial>, for heaven's sake. Then you get a
song and dance from tech support: corrupted
datafile...reinstall...switch to NT (yeah, with five SCSCI
devices...)...rebuild your web...blah blah.
3. Is Adobe's Framemaker Classroom in a Book the best
learning resource? Just got FM 5.5.6. Wow.
