WebSeminar: Converting Legacy Documents to FrameMaker.
Are you a FrameMaker user who inherited legacy files in MS
Word format from another department or are you a MS Word
user who is contemplating an upgrade to FrameMaker?

If you said yes - then this course is definitely right for
you. Join us for a live WebSeminar on Converting Legacy
Documents to FrameMaker.

WebSeminar: Converting Legacy Documents to FrameMaker
Date: Thursday, March 29th, 2007
Time: 11:00 am 1:00 pm PDT
Where: Your desktop
Register at: http://www.translate.com
Cost: $149.00 (enter promo code TECHWR and

This two hour online course covers the fundamentals of
preparing Microsoft Word documents for conversion and best
practices for correcting the imported content and formatting
in FrameMaker, including:

Quickly locating styles that need retagging after
conversion
Using advanced search features during reformatting
Efficient tools for correcting converted tables
Converting embedded bitmapped graphics to
externally referenced files (reducing document size)
Capturing vector graphics created with Microsoft Word
drawing tools and converting them to external graphics with
editable vectors and editable text

Course attendees receive a free FrameMaker plug-in that
automatically converts the first row of each table to a
header row, a Best Practices document on converting legacy
files, training materials, and a recording of the training
session. Because the course assumes some knowledge of
FrameMaker, ENLASO will hold a complimentary one-hour
overview of FrameMaker online the day before the course, for
attendees who need more background on FrameMaker.
Attendees will also be invited to submit a short problem
Microsoft Word document to the instructor before the
WebSeminar, so actual real-world examples can be used
during the online training.
