To install the ISO model documents for FrameMaker, download the archive to a folder of your choice on the hard disk of your computer. Extract the files from the archive to a place where you want to store them for future use. The English version of the model document will be extracted in a folder named basicEn3 and the French version in a folder named basicFr3.
These model documents, version 3, are in conformity with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, 2004. They replace the previous versions which were in conformity with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3, 1997. Additional changes are as follows: the styles Body Text, for use in tables, have been renamed as Table text; the gutter has been increased by 7 mm to give an inside margin of 25 mm.
Use of the ISO model documents for FrameMaker
To create a new document, copy the basicEn3 or basicFr3 folder, depending on
the language required, and rename it to correspond to your document. Work in
this new folder using the book (the file with the extension .book).
The ISO model documents are composed of a framework or skeleton (black and red text) which serves as the basis for preparing the document, together with editorial notes (green text).
Each element is represented by a distinct style; each style has a predefined format associated with it. For example, a term in the "Terms and definitions" clause is in boldface, and the corresponding definition is in lightface. Never alter the predefined format associated with a style using the "Format" "Style" command. If you need to emphasize a piece of text, use only the formatting buttons of your word processor; for example, bold, italic or underlining. Furthermore, do not use special fonts to emphasize a piece of text.
Note that in order for a conversion process to be successful it is essential that the styles are applied consistently in accordance with Annex B of the model document (see the file annex2.fm). When one element is "nested" in another, apply the predominant style and format the "nested" element using the formatting commands of your word processor (do not use the "Format" "Style" command). Examples of "nested" elements include notes in lists, together with lists in notes, lists in footnotes to the text, and lists in table and figure footnotes.
Note that if you create your own styles, their conversion cannot be assured; they may be mapped to the "Special" style in certain conversion procedures.
The page layout and presentation of documents should be as simple as possible. It is preferable to use a single-column page layout than to insert manual page or section breaks. However, when for layout purposes it is necessary to create a new section, beware that the automatic page numbering will be restarted at 1 for each section unless specified otherwise.
As far as practicable, the typography and content of the stylesheet are in conformity with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. However, for the purpose of submitting electronic files, the formatting conventions of the stylesheet supersede those given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. In the event of any contradiction in requirements, or in the case of enquiries, please contact the ISO template helpdesk <template@iso.org>.
All elements which appear in blue in the document are the ISO boilerplate texts; they shall not be modified. For all the elements which appear in red, it is necessary to make an editorial choice, for instance indicating the number of the edition and changes in relation to a previous edition in the foreword, when working in French, making a choice between the masculine or feminine gender, or completion of text or deletion of text which is not applicable. Notes concerning editorial drafting rules in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, 2001, appear in green and should be deleted upon completion of your document.
Boilerplate texts that can be used either to complete those already present in the model documents or to prepare document types other than International Standards are available.
