Simple. Don't do it. Install the FM10 or TCS3 trial on a non-production machine only. You may find that any previous Frame version stops working, if not when you install the demo, then when you remove the demo or it expires. It may be sufficient to install it in its own virtual machine, but I wouldn't risk a system on which my livelihood depended... Just my opinion. ;-) -- Jeremy H.

Currently, *no* form of WebHelp loads from a local copy in Chrome, because of a restriction Chrome (and only Chrome) imposes on JavaScript. The CSS has nothing to do with it. However, OmniHelp *will* load when run from a server, or the Web. To see that, try: http://www.omsys.com/dcl/ohusergd/ which opens in a new window. Chrome is very slow loading, but it gets there eventually. Use Firefox if at all possible, or IE, Opera, Safari, or Linux Konqueror. All work with both local and network copies, as do many more. -- Jeremy H.

See the Adobe forum for the instruction. I checked the forum, and it turns out that Snippet 130 on Peter Grainge's site has the answer: http://www.grainge.org/pages/snippets/snippets.htm In brief, you must start Chrome with the added switch --allow-file-access-from-files which you can put in your shortcut at the end of the Target field in its Properties | Shortcut tab (after a space). This is a change all your users would need to make; you can't change anything in the WebHelp or OmniHelp to allow that, for obvious security reasons. HTH! -- Jeremy H.

Baruch is correct -- you can't increment $chapnum within a file. But there's more to be said. And more than one solution to your problem. You could forgo $chapnum and use a regular counter (<n+>) in the autonumber of the chapter title paragraph as you thought. Incrementing that autonumber sequence across files is a piece of cake -- as long as you don't also have autonumber sequences that need to restart in each file. 1) In the book window, select all the files after the one containing Chapter 1. 2) Select Format > Document > Numbering. 3) In the Numbering Properties dialog, click the Paragraph tab. 4) Select Continue Numbering from Previous Paragraph in Book, and click Set. You're done. Unless you also have autonumber sequences (say, figures and tables) that need to restart in each file or chapter. In that case, you'd have to use special paragraphs that restart numbering for those autonumber sequences. Or use your chapter title paragraph to reset them. Maybe even construct the kind of complex multiple-counter autonumber sequences used prior to FM 6. The ins, outs, options, and alternatives are a bit much to go into here. A lot of this is fairly well explained in the FM manual/help. Here's one good source of more autonumber information: http://www.infocon.com/files/autonum.pdf Other sources can be found by googling "framemaker autonumbering" (sans quotes). Another solution -- and it may be preferable, in the long run -- is to put each chapter into its own file and use the $chapnum variable for the chapter title autonumber. Use the $volnum variable for the section title autonumber. In the Numbering Properties dialog, Chapter tab, set all the chapters after the first to Continue Numbering from Previous File in Book. (For the 1st chapter file, of course, set Chapter # explicitly to 1 and Format to Numeric.) For the files that _don't start a new section, in the Numbering Properties dialog, Volume tab, set the $volnum variable to Use Same Number As Previous File. For the ones after Section 1, set it to Continue Numbering from Previous File in Book. (For the 1st, set it explicitly like the chapter number, using ROMAN as the format.) HTH! Richard G.

Front Runner is also an Adobe Software Reseller... To answer Jim Pinkham's question... If your company purchased a Maintenance package with FrameMaker you would get updates/upgrades as they become available, provided the Maintenance is current. To answer Steve Johnson's question... If a customer wants to do backward licensing, they order the current version volume license of the product and the old ESD (Electronic Software Download - one version back). Then they call Adobe Customer Care at 800-443-8158 to request a serial number that matches the ESD. They will need to provide the Adobe order number for the current version order. Also, if they purchased an upgrade license (for example, CS3 to CS5), they will also need to provide the serial number of the original product they are upgrading from. It takes a few days to get the old serial number. This is a much easier process for someone who already has some volume licenses of the product they want to install and just needs to buy more of them. They don?t need to buy the old ESD unless they don?t already have the old media. And they don?t need to call for a serial number; they just use the old serial number they already have to install on additional workstations. If anyone is looking to purchase software let us know at Front Runner. We can provide you pricing for the software and when you purchase the software from us you get discounts on the training!

And, if you migrate, is that a good use of your time to do so given it's both a quick fix AND you're already overloaded? Consider a content strategy going forward. Yes, it's a client and not your own managed content, but if a repeat client, having a strategy for their content rather than just a plan will help keep future cases like this at bay.

Conditional builds, text >insets, variables, markers, tables, etc etc. Martin: I use both too. Many of the features you list above (conditionality, insets, variables, markers) are not implemented, or are implemented differently, in InDesign, afaik. You have a difficult problem; for me the above might well be the killer issue. InD will do you lovely typography, but for my money it's still not quite a player in the tech book world. Also afaik, it still doesn't even support cross-references, or at least CS3 didn't. I use it, happily, for non-technical books, but I'd not like to work with it for link-rich long-doc material. As both products are from Adobe, as as there might be license fees for them whichever way you go, why not try and rope in an Adobe product specialist to advise you? In the UK Chris Kitchener used to be the main man, certainly for InD, but I don't know whether he's still with Adobe. Or possibly one of their added-value vendors, like Mekon (Sutton)? <mailto:chris.kitchener at adobe.com> HTH; just my view. -- Steve ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers.
