  • .Single Sourcing with FrameMaker

    Sep 11 2008 under Microtype
    For experienced FrameMaker users who want to take advantage of the single-sourcing potential of FrameMaker. Learn how FrameMaker can help you use the same source material in different forms and contexts: combine the same files in different FrameMaker books, use conditional text, text insets, special text (variables, cross-reference, autonumbering) and color views to create multiple product versions within one set of documents. You can also apply different templates to the same material so that online help and PDFs designed for screen reading can be automatically derived from the FrameMaker files with the correct formatting.
