This page is an effort to combined what was formerly two assignments—practice work and quick-ref work. The practice assignments ask you to show that you can apply what you've learned in the tutorials; the quick-refs ask you to write what is essentially a "cheat sheet" that will act as a reminder later on. The point of these activities is to immerse you a bit in FrameMaker so that it will seem more like second nature.

Combining these two things may be a bit awkward at times. In the paragraph-tag item below, you might write something like:

To apply a paragraph tag, open the paragraph tag catalog, place your cursor on the text to apply a tag to, and click a paragraph tag in the catalog. (You do not have to select the entire text; just have your cursor somewhere in the text.) The ??? paragraph tag has been applied to the xth paragraph below.

You're most welcome to get fancier with this text: the preceding example could include a numbered list, a note, and a cross-ref.

Explain the following as briefly as you can but clearly enough so that these notes would make sense a year from now:

1. Explain how to display the character and paragraph catalogs.
2. Explain how to apply paragraph tags. Apply a paragraph tag to some text elsewhere in this exercise and indicate where it has been applied.
3. Explain how to apply character tags. Apply a character tag to some text elsewhere in this exercise, and indicate where it has been applied.
4. Explain how to use the n=1 method to restart a numbered list. Create two numbered lists, one in which you explain how to create a numbered list and restart at 1, another in which you explain how to restart at 1.
5. Explain how to create a new character tag. Create a character tag, apply that tag to some text elsewhere in this document, and indicate where that text is located.
6. Explain how to create a new paragraph tag (in which you make changes to fonts, margins, and other settings). Create a paragraph tag, apply that tag to some text elsewhere in this document, and indicate where that text is located.
7. Explain how to make local and global changes to a paragraph tag (via Apply and Update) and what the difference is. (Not sure how you can demonstrrate this.)
8. Explain how to force a paragraph tag to start a new page. Create such a tag, apply it elsewhere in the document, and indicate where that text is located.
9. Explain how to prevent widows and orphans using Keep with settings in a paragraph. Create such a tag, apply it elsewhere in the document, and indicate where that text is located.
10. Explain how to adjust left margins and hanging indents in paragraph tags for numbered or bulleted lists. Create a tag with changed margins and indents, apply it elsewhere in the document, and indicate where that text is located.
11. Explain how to create paragraph tags for two levels of numbered lists (with arabic numerals at the first level, lowercase alpha letters at the second). Create these tags, apply them to text elsewhere in the document, and indicate where that text is located.
12. Explain how to create paragraph tags for two levels of bulleted lists (with standard solid disc at the first level, en dash at the second). Create these tags, apply them to text elsewhere in the document, and indicate where that text is located.
13. Explain how to create a paragraph tag for caution notice. Create such a tag and apply it elsewhere in the document; indicate where that text is located.
