Display both Chapter2.fm and Chapter3.fm to confirm that FrameMaker 7.0 has
correctly renumbered them.
All three chapters are now numbered correctly.
Fixing the pagination
The table of contents shows you how FrameMaker 7.0 has paginated the book. Notice that
the chapter titles for Chapter 2 (
Planning for Commercial Printing
) and Chapter 3
(
Getting Output
) incorrectly begin on page 1. FrameMaker 7.0 does not number the pages
consecutively in a book unless you tell it to.

Make sure the book file is open and visible.
Next you’ll choose a command that will let you adjust how the second and third chapters
paginate. You could choose the Document > Numbering command from the Format
menu. Instead, you’ll use a
context menu,
which is a convenient shortcut when working in
a book window. (A context menu contains commonly used commands applicable to the
item under the pointer.)

Chapter 3: Getting Output
Proofing, pre ight, and le hand-off are three key
steps in the nal production cycle. This chapter dis-
cusses how these tasks in uence the success of your
output.
Key steps in the production cycle
Proofing lets you check your work and ensure that the
nal printed piece will meet your requirements. It is
appropriate to proof your publication at several stages
in your project and the proo ng process should be inte-
grated into your work ow.
Preflight
, a term that prepress professionals adapted
from aeronautics, refers to the process of stepping
through a systematic list of quality-control checks on
your publication before the nal output stage. A pilot
performs a pre ight check to verify that a plane is air-
worthy and meets legal ight requirements; performing
a digital preflight check lets you verify that a publication
prints and meets your prepress service providerís
requirements.
Handing off your le is a step in the publishing pro-
cess where communication with your prepress service
provider is critical. Recording the requirements, set-
tings, and les in a written report for your service pro-
vider helps you organize les and serves as a reminder
of all special treatment areas in your publication. The
location and organization of all your les, including

Chapter 2: Planning for
Commercial Printing
Every commercial printing job requires that you con-
sider a complex set of variables ranging from what your
budget and schedule allow to how the paper stock and
printing press affect your nal output. The earlier you
think about these variables, the more control youíll have
over the quality, cost, and schedule of your project.
Planning and evaluation
Preparing a publication for commercial printing takes
careful thought: both imagesetters and commercial
printing presses have inherent limitations, and itís pos-
sible to create publications that are dif cult to print on
either an imagesetter or a printing press. By thinking of
your design and production cycles as steps in a larger
process, you can make choices that will let you work
more efficiently and help you achieve the best printed
results.
Before going to a commercial printer with your
project, you need to evaluate your skills, your schedule,
and your equipment to determine what tasks you will do
and what services you will contract.
In addition to choosing a commercial printer, you may

Chapter 1: Color and
Commercial Printing
When you create a multi-color publication, you want
the colors in the final printed piece to match your expec-
tations as closely as possible. To accomplish this, you
need three things: a clear understanding of color and
how itís displayed and printed on different devices,
knowledge of the commercial printing process, and
close communication with your commercial printer.
This chapter presents fundamental color and printing
concepts, defines printing terminology, and introduces
new technologies. We also recommend browsing in your
local library, bookstore, or graphic arts supply store for
books on graphic arts and commercial printing. The
