I have been following this thread because I have one product line that is almost entirely Unstructured and would like to convert it to Structured, with eventually moving on to DITA. This list of videos looks like it should be able to get this project going smoothly.<br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Maxwell Hoffmann <mhoffman@adobe.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b>

The location of the Aldous webinar series has been moved to an Adobe server.<br><br>To speed things up for you on the link to Tom Aldous' 7-part series (it is excellent; I went through it), here are links to individual episodes:<br><br>Part 1: Unstructured To XML Workflow Series Part 1: Analyzing Your Unstructured Document - Preprocess Steps<br> http://adobe.ly/PfkRYK<br>Part 2: Unstructured To XML Workflow Series Part 2: Creating A FrameMaker Conversion Table - Part 1<br> http://adobe.ly/Q5BtGM<br>Part 3: Unstructured To XML Workflow Series Part 3: Creating A FrameMaker Conversion Table - Part 2<br> http://adobe.ly/Pfl1Q1<br>Part 4: Unstructured To XML Workflow Series Part 4: Element Definition Document (EDD) - Home Grown or a Standard<br> http://adobe.ly/Q5C0sf<br>Part 5: Unstructured To XML Workflow Series Part 5: Creating your Structured Template from an Unstructured

You will need to log in with free <a target="_blank" href="http://adobe.com/">Adobe.com</a> account credentials. If you have difficulties accessing the recording with the latest version of Chrome, try Firefox or Internet Explorer. <br><br>NOTE: this series covers virtually every step for setting up a modified or customized structured application in FrameMaker (in addition to the conversion.) Please be aware that the latest version of FrameMaker (v11) has even better support for DITA "out-of-the-box", so the experience would be easier, were you
to upgrade to the latest version. Once you have set up a good set of conversion tables, they should work for most of your content, if your unstructured documents have consistent formatting.<br><br>I hope this set of links is helpful to all.<br><br>________________________________________<br>Maxwell Hoffmann | Product Evangelist | Adobe | p. 503.336.5952 | c. 503.805.3719 | <a ymailto="mailto:mhoffman@adobe.com" href="mailto:mhoffman@adobe.com">mhoffman@adobe.com</a> <br>http://twitter.com/maxwellhoffmann - http://www.linkedin.com/in/maxwellhoffmann <a target="_blank" href="http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm">blogs.adobe.com/techcomm</a><br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a ymailto="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com" href="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com">framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com</a> [mailto:<a
