Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
FrameMaker 5.5, the newest version of Adobe's desktop publishing tool for long documents, is the featured product in this Classroom in a Book volume from Adobe Press. The first lessons in the book cover basic tasks, such as formatting paragraphs, characters, and color. You also learn how to design pages by working with columns, master pages, and graphics and how to use editing tools such as the Find/Change, Thesaurus, and Spelling Checker. Next the book teaches you how to create and customize tables, work with anchored frames and graphics, add cross-references and footnotes, and make a book file with a table of contents, index, and correct pagination. The last, more advanced lessons cover conditional text, hypertext and Portable Document Format (PDF) output, and Web publishing. Each lesson has clear step-by-step instructions and helpful screen shots and ends with a "Moving on" section that refers you to more in-depth discussions of the relevant material in the FrameMaker user manual. Each lesson also ends with a series of questions that review what you've learned; the answers to the questions are at the back of the book. The bundled CD-ROM has project files for each lesson. The book covers the Windows, Macintosh, and Unix versions of the product.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for new After Effects users,
By
This review is from: Adobe After Effects 4.0 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
Highly recommended for anyone starting out in After Effects. In fact, if you've never even seen After Effects, this book is for you. After just a few lessons, you'll feel more comfortable and confident using the After Effects interface and features. If you need to get up to speed quickly with this powerful compositing software, then AE Classroom in a Book will serve you well.Regarding a few of the criticisms that some people have leveled against this book: If you're already an AE pro and have gone through the earlier edition, then the "what's new" section of the official AE manual should be your main learning tool. This book is designed for beginners, not to help people migrate from version 3. Yes, the lessons in this book are not earth shattering and exciting. This book teaches you how to use a professional compositing software package. Serious compositing is, generally, an unexciting procedure. For people wishing to be entertained, I would recommend a collection of Gary Larson's Far Side strips. For people who wish to learn After Effects, I would recommend this book. Happy compositing!

Adobe put a 4.0 cover on 3.1 recycled content,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adobe After Effects 4.0 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
Although I generally like Classroom in a Book, if you have already done the 3.1 Tutorial, don't bother spending money on this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview, lacks details on how to start a new document,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adobe(R) Framemaker(R) 5.5 (Classroom in a Book) (Paperback)
Although this book covers a lot, it does not detail how to create a document from scratch. It does not thoroughly explain how to set up templates and master pages. The tutorial has you work on existing documents rather than start a document from scratch, which is what I would prefer.
