Migrating to and Benefiting from Structured Authoring using Adobe FrameMaker 9: Live eSeminar
| Join me for this free 90-minute eSeminar, specifically designed for FrameMaker unstructured users, as well as MS Word users, who are considering migrating their documents to a structured authoring environment using Adobe FrameMaker 9. |
Migrating your existing unstructured FrameMaker documents, or Microsoft Word documents to Structured documents in Adobe FrameMaker 9, is much easier than you may think, and the benefits include the ability to enforce authoring consistency, guided authoring, real-time validation and others. In this 90-minute eSeminar, we will explore the differences between unstructured and structured documents, and the overall process of using conversion tables in Adobe FrameMaker 9 for wrapping unstructured styles into structured elements, as well as basic DITA concepts in FrameMaker.

Comments
I have a trial version of FrameMaker 9 that this webinar will complement nicely, as far as new structuring functionality.

Rj, Thanks for an excellent seminar. Looking forward to more seminars on these lines. Would you recommend Dita 101 by Ann Rockley, Steve Manning for more information on DITA migration?
Posted by: Elizabeth John | November 5, 2009 12:20 AM
Hi Elizabeth, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! Regarding the DITA 101 book by Ann Rockley, I personally have it and have read it and I highly recommend it. Ann and Steve, did a great job breaking down the advantages of structured content, they provide best practices and cover the reasons why DITA makes sense quite nicely.
Sincerely,
