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.
1. Yes, it will work. Every time you open a document, it will remind you
that you're opening a 5.5.x version, and then (in Windows versions, in
deference to Bill Gates), ask you if that's OK.
2. On the menu bar, select Format>Characters>Catalog. Viola! Now...
Format>Paragraph>Catalog.
Background: Your "quickie" icons are gone. They were replaced by Element
icons. Don't worry about them until you want to use SGML (a tool that,
IMHO, only instills discipline in an undisciplined writer).
Hope this settles your nerves,

Subject: FrameMaker6.0 question
When I had a recent hard drive crash, my copy of FrameMaker 5.5 was replaced
with FrameMaker 6.0 +SGML by the company's support person.
I have some questions before I jump into all my 5.5 documents with this
application:
1. Is this the bonafide 6.0 version or is it a special one designed just for
use with SGML?
2. I miss especially the menus of characters and components that I could get
by clicking buttons in the "margin bar" on the right side of the document
space. This new app does show a button for the graphic menu, but I really
need those other menus. How can I get them?
