Title: FrameMaker 5.5.6 for Dummies
Product review: Ordered the book the week it was available.OK, so now I know how to add color, graphics, indexes, master pages...but HOW do I start a file? The book is well written and quite detailed, but misses some of the "basics" that I would expect from a xFD book. Examples are inadequate for a beginner book. And whatever happened to cross platform compatibility with FrameMaker...there are separate sections in instructions for Windows, UNIX, MAC (with more on UNIX and MAC). No examples on the CD, just more programs to sell (samples of other applications and FrameMaker). Could really have used a walk-thru, or even some interactive tutorials online on the CD. Many good caveats and several BTWs(makes me want to AVOID FrameMaker). May be good for intermediate user, but don't try using the FD book without some FM experience. Overall, I was disappointed, both with the book and with FrameMaker, maybe I'm too much of a DUMMY for this series. My last FD book.
