Question

Missing tools bars for structured authoring in Framemaker 11

I am watching a couple of videos for converting a Framemaker document to DITA.  I notice that in the videos there are several new toolbars available:

Element

StructureTools

DITA

S1000D

I am not seeing any of these toolbars when I open Framemaker 11.  Any idea what's going on.

Thanks

Liz

Thank you.....I knew it was going to something stupidly simple :-).

Definitely not stupid. It's a common question.

I wish Adobe would eliminate the switch from structured to unstructured. It just causes confusion. You can work on unstructured files perfectly well with the structured interface. Just switch to structured mode and leave it there .. no need to switch back and forth.

If anything, Adobe should add the ability to easily customize the menus that are available so you can turn off menus that you don't use. This would have the same effect as the interface switching, but seems more sensible to me.

Cheers,
