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, choode 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 a complete list of key sequences to generate accents and special characters, start Frame with the English interface and open up the Printed Manual Quick Reference after selecting HELP from the main window. You should select "book file (for printing)", and open up the file called charsetx. If you wish to edit a German document using English menus and help, you can start Frame with "maker &"; using a template from the German Templates directory will ensure that you use the German dictionary for spelling corrections.
