FrameMaker goes beyond Word in extending your style control over graphic object styles. As with paragraphs, character tags and tables, FrameMaker provides a catalog for object styles, which can enable you to globally update the position or appearance of named anchored frames and graphics. This functionality empowers you to achieve consistency with graphic formatting just as you have always done with text formatting.

Many of us have been frustrated by how "slippery" the positioning of anchored frames can be in Word. FrameMaker 11 provides considerably more control. This video starts out with a bang, showing how you can easily generate a table of parts, views or animations (with auto-hypertext links) to a 3D graphics. The published PDF output provides an attractive, guided user experience. Discover how FrameMaker 11's new Object Styles allow you to name, then globally update the appearance or positioning of both anchored frames and graphic objects. Hotspots also allow you to create a link between a zone of a graphic and related text.

Word's style catalogs don't obviously segregate text styles from paragraph styles. FrameMaker 11 provides simple, logical catalogs for paragraphs, character styles, table styles and even graphic object styles. In FrameMaker 11, not only can you globally update headings, lists and emphasized text, you can even change all instances of named tables, labeled anchored frames or graphic objects! This allows you a level of formatting control and document consistency amongst multiple authors you could have only dreamed of with Word. Warning: once you use these tools, there is no turning back.

FrameMaker 11 has graphic object properties, which behave somewhat like layers in InDesign. Confined to vector graphic shapes and anchored frames, they allow users to universally change all instances of certain anchored frames, text call-outs, or common shapes and graphic objects.
