Question

Hello,

I began using framemaker because I couldn't add automatic revision lines with indesign, but now I'm a little puzzled as to how to manage all of the content.

My project is quite large and has had many revisions, but where to start to set it up so it changes automatically when adding new information.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANKS.

Julieta.

I’m thinking I would have to use structured FM in order to keep updating as different documents become available.

The manual was given to me to translate, but I’m expecting more work and I wanted to set it up in FM for easier access in the future.. *sigh* not sure where to start!!

Thanks

Hi Julieta:

*sigh* not sure where to start!!

A training class is a great place to start. We have unstructured training if you decide to start there (and mostly aviation-industry students). I'm also an InDesign trainer so I understand the transition, and can help you through it. Our classes are online so you can attend from your home or office.

Hi Julieta:

To activate automatic change bars (that appear as you edit):

Format > Document > Change Bars and enable Automatic Change Bars.

I always thought that the aviation industry used Structured FM with some S1000D standard thingie? Are you trying to manage all that with Unstructured FM?
