TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've also got a whole chapter on editing using Adobe FrameMaker in my book,
Electronic Editing. Most of that chapter doesn't directly address your
question, but it does give a lot of tips on using FM. The chapter does
include a slightly amended version of the newsletter article I mentioned above.
(The book also has a chapter on editing using Adobe Acrobat.)
