Moving From FrameMaker® to Flare
Migrating legacy content to Flare from other programs such as FrameMaker® can be quick and easy. To get the most out of your existing content and to make the transition as smooth as possible, MadCap has created a support guide to help users get started.
Understanding the Difference: Topic-based Authoring with MadCap Flare
MadCap Flare utilizes topic-based authoring, rather than the chapter-based format of FrameMaker®. A Flare project typically will have more topics than chapters -- and understanding this difference should help you during import. If you are working with legacy files you did not author, it will be worth it to spend some time to familiarize yourself with the project.
Importing Best Practices
More than 30 best-practice conversion topics are discussed in the support guide -- covering everything from TOCs to graphics to style sheets. Of course, should you encounter any difficulties during your transition, you can contact one of our awardwinning MadCap Technical Support team members to walk you through the process.
