Subject:Re: How do we learn Frame? From:Elna Tymes <Etymes -at- LTS -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 1 Aug 1995 15:07:23 GMT
Our experience in learning Frame has been that - like any other
application - the fastest way to get productive is just to dive in. The
old saw "Once you've learned any word processor, you've learned 75% of
most of them all" applies to Frame. Frame has its own way of doing
things, but if you got used to the way WordPerfect handles things like
tagging and layout, you can certain learn Frame's way.
Our people have found the Frame manual quite clear and easy to use, but
they use it as a reference manual, not a tutorial. All of us have simply
dived in and tried to do something, then asked questions and looked
things up in the manual. I suspect a videotape might have made the
learning process more comfortable, but certainly not as efficient in
terms of how fast we became productive.
