BOULDER, CO -- Feb 23, 2007 -- ENLASO Corporation, a leading provider of
translation and localization solutions, today announced that it will
present a live training course on Thursday, March 29th, 2007, titled
"Converting Legacy Documents to FrameMaker." The course, taught by
Maxwell Hoffmann, ENLASO's Manager of Consulting and Training Solutions,
features expert advice on how to streamline the document development and
subsequent translation processes into other languages by converting
Microsoft Word documents into FrameMaker documents.

"Converting a large-scale technical manual from Microsoft Word to
FrameMaker can actually reduce translation project costs by up to 35%,"
comments Hoffmann. "We have helped a number of clients convert from
PageMaker, Microsoft Word and other formats to FrameMaker and are
sharing our best practices so that even more customers can reduce
publishing costs in translation and localization projects."
This two hour online course covers the fundamentals of preparing
Microsoft Word documents for conversion and best practices for
correcting the imported content and formatting in FrameMaker, including:

    * Quickly locating styles that need retagging after conversion
    * Using advanced search features during reformatting
    * Efficient tools for correcting converted tables
    * Converting embedded bitmapped graphics to externally referenced
files (reducing document size)
    * Capturing vector graphics created with Microsoft Word drawing
tools and converting them to external graphics with editable vectors and
editable text

WebSeminar: "Converting Legacy Documents to FrameMaker"
Date: Thursday, March 29, 2007
Time: 11:00 am - 1:00 pm PDT
Where: Your desktop
Register at: http://www.translate.com
Cost: $149.00

Course attendees receive a free FrameMaker plug-in that automatically
converts the first row of each table to a "header row," a Best Practices
document on converting legacy files, training materials, and a recording
of the training session. Because the course assumes some knowledge of
FrameMaker, ENLASO will hold a complimentary one-hour overview of
FrameMaker online the day before the course, for attendees who need more
background on FrameMaker. Attendees will also be invited to submit a
short "problem" Microsoft Word document to the instructor before the
WebSeminar, so actual real-world examples can be used during the online
training.

Educational Webinars and WebSeminars are part of ENLASO's commitment to
providing long-term localization success through education and
consulting. "Converting Legacy Documents to FrameMaker" is designed for
FrameMaker users who inherit legacy documents in Microsoft Word format
and for Microsoft Word users who are considering upgrading to
FrameMaker.

This WebSeminar is taught by Maxwell Hoffmann, a 23-year veteran of
desktop publishing and document conversion solutions. Hoffmann manages
training and consulting at ENLASO. He has used FrameMaker for over 18
years and is also a former FrameMaker Product Marketing Manager.
Hoffmann has focused on document localization and translation for the
past 10 years, working extensively with document analysis and XML
publishing strategies. He has trained over 1,000 customers and sales
professionals on a variety of scalable publishing solutions.
