Adobe FrameMaker Classroom in a Book. ISBN: 1-56830-365-3. Has a CD with
exercises - great way to learn!

On a scale of 1 to 10 in difficulty, I would give FrameMaker a 7.5.

On the same scale above, Word is a 5. In some ways it is similar, in some ways
it is different. I transitioned to FrameMaker from Word (within the past year)
because of the outstanding way it handles very long documents. I love
FrameMaker. I still use Word, but for shorter documents, memos, letters, etc.
If I could only have one, I would choose FrameMaker.
