Played with this on an old version of SP, and it worked, but didn't work well. The problems, ASFAIK were all on the SP side and were related to tangled corporate IT permissions -- they didn't quite know how to set it up so mere tech writers could use it. If you're using a SP 2010 or newer and say

It is possible. In the Adobe FrameMaker forums, there's a subforum for Content Management Systems where the SharePoint Connector has been discussed from time to time. On 2013-11-22 15:25, John Posada wrote: Hi guys... Has anyone managed to use Sharepoint as a FM cms? Thanks

RE: Character Tag As Is setting--isn't

Cheers Matt, Yes I totally agree with your 'bottom line' - But surely this is a bug? The Character Designer dialog box (or pod as they seem to want to call it now) just simply isn't behaving consistently and doing what it says it does. There is nothing I can see about this issue in the user docs

Not selecting the entire word in Frame

Shift + left/right arrow selects one letter or space at the time. Shift + Ctrl + left/right arrow selects an entire word. I don’t think this is anything new – it works the same way in Word. You are right though that Word offers an option to automatically select the entire word, but that is in

OmniHelp is web help. Web help is not a standard format but a generic term for help deliverables that use HTML and JavaScript. RoboHelp, Flare, and WebWorks ePublisher all have their own proprietary versions of web help, in some cases several versions. Which language in Visual Studio? It supports

If you have an index and context-sensitive help already in EclipseHelp, you should be able to generate those with OmniHelp without having to modify your FrameMaker source at all. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

If you've already got MIF2Go generating EclipseHelp, how your docs are structured is of no concern. Adding a second or third output format in MIF2Go is a very minor task compared with the first. On Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 10:52 AM, Fei Min Lorente feimin.lore...@onsemi.com wrote: Not DITA. It's our

AIRHelp as I used it a few years ago was not viable for users who had no Internet access; the .exe file looks for an update whenever it is launched. You'd be surprised how many users are out there without 'net access, especially govt and govt contractors. There may be a way to make it behave
