I recently came across an extremely useful Adobe document -- the FrameMaker
"template primer", which was written to accompany a series of templates that
you can download from the Adobe website. 

The templates can be instructive in themselves, but the document contains a
wealth of knowledge that you can use even if you don't download the
templates. And it's written in a refreshingly honest style (e.g. "You can
fiddle with a paragraph's Numbering property until you scream, but the
answer lies elsewhere...")

The document contains insider tips for new and experienced users alike,
including an invaluable 10-page checklist for creating a template from
scratch. (Understandably, the last step just says "Celebrate!")

If you haven't seen the document, I highly recommend it:

The downloadable templates are at:
