FrameMaker
Question:
The technical writing department where I work has a library of templates, but I do not know how to use them. How do I apply a different template to a FrameMaker document?
Answer:
Open both the FrameMaker template file and the document you want to apply it to. Then do this:
| 1. |
In your document (not the template file, or your fellow technical writers will get very mad at you), choose File -> Import -> Formats...
| | 2. |
In the Import Formats dialog box, choose the template file from the Import from Document drop-down menu.
| | 3. |
Click Import.

Note: Increasingly, tech writers compose instructions in XML applications like Epic or X Metal. Tech writers always have to learn new tools. |
