Creating a custom document
In this lesson, you'll set up the paragraph formats for the chapters of a small book. You'll
start by creating a custom document.
1 If necessary, copy the Lesson02 folder and start FrameMaker 7.0.
2 If FrameMaker 7.0 is not in standard mode, choose File > Preferences > General, and
then select FrameMaker from the Product Interface pop-up menu.
3 If you want to see how your document will look at the end of this lesson, open
Finished.fm in the Lesson02 folder. When you're ready to continue, close Finished.fm.
4 Do one of the following:
• (Windows and Mac OS) Choose File > New > Document.
• (UNIX) In the main FrameMaker 7.0 window, click New.
5 Click Custom.
Notice that the values in the text boxes are in inches (for the U.S. Edition) or centimeters
(for the International Edition). You'll change the default units for the document, so that
measurements in dialog boxes will appear in points.
6 Choose Point from the Units pop-up menu at the lower right. The values in the text
boxes are converted to points.
