Getting Started
Although each lesson provides step-by-step instructions for creating a specific project,
there is room for exploration and experimentation. It is recommended that you follow
the book from start to finish, especially if you have never used FrameMaker before; but
you can, if you wish, do only the lessons that correspond to your interests and needs.
Screen illustrations vary among the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX platforms. Platform,
or operating system, differences are mentioned only when they are substantial.
Prerequisites

Classroom in a Book
, you should have a working
knowledge of your computer and its operating system. You should know how to use a
mouse and standard menus and commands. You should also know how to copy, open,

involving PDF file preparation, but you will need the Acrobat program for viewing them
(see “Installing
