How to Use the German Version of FrameMaker

In order to run the German version of FrameMaker, including German help and menus, type:
add frame
imakergerman
You can then click on Offnen to work on a current document or Neu to create a new one. If you are creating a new document, choose a template from the German Templates directory (this is important, as it ensures that the German dictionary is in use).

When the template opens, you can remove the Latin text already in the document by selecting Textfluss auswaehlen from the Bearbeiten menu and pressing the Delete(backspace) key.

To spell-check your paper, choose Rechtschreibhilfe... from the Bearbeiten menu, then click on the Pruefung beginnen button. When you are done, type Ctrl-c to make the Rechtschreibhilfe window disappear.

To make an accent over a letter type:

Ctrl-r ' letter	for an Akut
Ctrl-r ` letter	for a Gravis
Ctrl-r ^ letter	for a Zirkumflex
Ctrl-r , letter	for a Cedille
Ctrl-r : letter	for a Dieresis
Ctrl-r ~ letter	for a Tilde
Ctrl-r * letter	for an Angstrom
For additional accents, click on Hilfe in the initial FrameMaker window, and select Tastaturbelegung fuer Standardzeichen to find the key sequence needed to create the accent or special character of your choice.
