Answers
1
Hiding graphics makes pages display faster, which can make it easier to edit text. To
specify whether to display graphics, choose View > Options, select or turn off Graphics,
and click Set.

A variable is a placeholder for text. Once you define a variable with text—such as with
a product name or term—that text appears wherever you insert the variable in your
document. If you change the definition later, FrameMaker 7.0 updates all occurrences of
that variable in the document with the updated text. By changing the variable’s definition,
you don’t have to retype or find and replace each occurrence of text you want to reuse.
You also ensure that the text is used consistently in the document.
3
To create a variable, choose Special > Variable. Click Create Variable. Enter a name for
the variable in the Name text box, and enter the variable text and character format(s) in
the Definition text box. Click Add, then click Done. When the new variable appears in the
Variable dialog box, click Done.

You use the Thesaurus to look up words with a similar meaning to the word you
specify. To open the Thesaurus, choose Edit > Thesaurus.

The main dictionary contains words found in a standard dictionary. You can’t add or
delete words in this dictionary.
A personal dictionary contains words that aren’t in the main dictionary, but that you want
FrameMaker 7.0 to allow when it checks a document. You can add and delete words in
this dictionary.
A document dictionary contains words that aren’t in the main dictionary or personal
dictionary, but that you want FrameMaker 7.0 to allow in the current document. You can
add and delete words in this dictionary. However, the document dictionary isn’t a
separate file; it’s part of the document.
