Adobe News of the Month



We launched a digital campaign on http://www.dowriteright.com for technical

There are also a lot of conversations on social platforms (Facebook,
LinkedIn and Twitter) on the same subject – search for #WriteRight to join
the conversation!

April 11th 10AM PAC Webinar: "For Word Users: Sess 6) customized workspaces
& Quick Edits in #FrameMaker 11"



Every product has its frustrations; one commonly associated with Word is
the number of times that you must “drill down” several levels to get to a
desired menu. FrameMaker has approached this challenge in a unique way with
“workspaces,” which present the most commonly used menus associated with
particular tasks.



Users benefit greatly from their ability to customize workspaces by docking
and placing collapsed or expanded menus where they wish to find them. Even
without customization, FrameMaker will gradually reduce the choices
available as you move into highly specific tasks, like editing DITA in the
XML Code View. If you work with contractors or team members who only
occasionally assist with FrameMaker projects, you can greatly reduce the
learning curve by creating customized workspaces with very limited choices.



Quick edits refers to a number of convenient short cuts that will display
choices (e.g. paragraph styles, conditional tags, DITA elements) in a
vertical catalog adjacent to your current insertion point. Mastering this
feature enables you to author complex content even more quickly.



Whether you are a Word user contemplating a move to FrameMaker, or a
veteran FrameMaker users still using an older version, you may benefit
greatly from this session. Join presenter Maxwell Hoffmann, Adobe's Global
Product Evangelist for Tech Comm Suite, who has extensive tech comm
publishing experience, having worked for a variety of publishing vendors
and translation agencies before coming on board with Adobe. He is a former
FrameMaker product marketing manager with Frame Technology (before Adobe
acquired the product), and has trained over 1,200 people in scalable
publishing solutions over the years.
