Welcome to Adobe FrameMaker 7.0the complete publishing system that provides all the tools you need for word processing, page design, graphics, and book building. Combined with all of this is an easy-to-use environment for preparing and authoring documents for storage in or output to valid structured FrameMaker formats.

Whether youre writing simple one-page memos or complex multichapter documents with imported graphics, this versatile application is ideal for organizations that need to reuse and distribute content on multiple devices and operating systems. For example, a single document created with FrameMaker 7.0 can be used for an eBook document, an HTML document for the Web, or an XML document.

With support for both the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) and the Extended Markup Language (XML), FrameMaker 7.0 allows you to easily import, open and work with existing structured documents and then save them back to SGML or XML when youre finished.

Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 is a robust tool for organizations that need to quickly and efficiently publish complex documents to multiple channels, including XML, HTML, Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format), print, and SGML.

Additional key features include WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)-based context-sensitive guided editing and authoring for structured documents; automated generation and updating of indexes, tables of contents, cross-references, and hyperlinks.

Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book is part of the official training series for Adobe graphics and publishing software developed by experts at Adobe Systems. These lessons are designed to let you learn at your own pace. If youre new to Adobe FrameMaker 7.0, youll learn the fundamental concepts and features youll need to master the program. If youve been using it for a while, youll find this book teaches many advanced features, including tips and techniques for using the latest version of Adobe FrameMaker.

Although each lesson provides step-by-step instructions for creating a specific project, there is room for exploration and experimentation. It is recommended that you follow the book from start to finish, especially if you have never used FrameMaker before; but you can, if you wish, do only the lessons that correspond to your interests and needs. Screen illustrations vary among the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX platforms. Platform, or operating system, differences are mentioned only when they are substantial.

Before using Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book, you should have a working knowledge of your computer and its operating system.

If you need to review these techniques, see your Microsoft Windows, Macintosh (Mac OS), or UNIX documentation. Adobe Acrobat 5.05 Distiller is provided on the main installation disk, so that you can perform the exercises involving PDF file preparation, but you will need the Acrobat program for viewing them (see on the next page).
