Roy, there's a handy section on localizing templastes in Gregory Wasson and David Valiulis "Adobe FrameMaker Template Series Primer," and the overall document is an excellent, thorough resource for template work. The primer is at http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/tempseries/pdfs/primer.pdf and there are some other handy links on the http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/tempseries/ page.
HTH, Jim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Roy Lewis Sent: Friday, September 17, 2010 11:38 AM To: Framers Subject: Templates for international use Our international offices have agreed to begin using Framemaker to create locale specific documentaion. They will use the same tags and formats we do, but things like paper size being different will surely have some impact on the general page layout, master pages etc. First, I am trying to compile a list of things to check to ensure I have covered everything. If anyone has done this before and is willing to share things to watch for, I would appreciate it. Second, Is it necessary to maintain a completely separate set of templates just because of the different page size? I would rather not have to maintain templates that have only 5% differences. Thirdly, if parallel templates are required, what is the easiest method for maintaining the changes? and keeping the templates synchronized? Any and all suggestions or comments are appreciated. Thanks, Roy Lewis Kronos Incorporated. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as jim.pinkham at voith.com.
