You will learn and understand the role of the technical communicator, identify how technical writing differs from other kinds of writing, learn and apply key theories for TC work, and identify the purpose and key elements of main TC documentation types.

Attendees will learn how FrameMaker makes your job easier by using different style techniques, creating tables and cross-references, controlling media, and finally, being able to publish your project. Attendees can expect about three hours of work, each balanced roughly between course materials, projects, and live sessions. The live sessions are scheduled on Tuesdays, from 10:30-11:30 a.m. EDT. Matt will also hold online "office hours" on Thursdays, giving you a chance to drop into an online meeting to discuss the current week's assignment. Don't miss these online courses and register today!

Stylesheet mediums, located in the Stylesheet Editor, can automatically reformat your content depending on the output target you’re generating.
Let's say that you have to generate two output targets from your project: online and print. You want the h1 headings to be blue in the online output; black in print output.
You could create two stylesheets, one for the online output with h1 set to blue; one for print with h1 set to black. That would work but it's inefficient because you're creating and maintaining two style sheets, and you will have to remember to pick the right style sheet when you generate each output.
