Your solution would cause the PDF to *always* open on the specific page, whereas the requirement is only that it open there when launched from a particular link. Other links might require other pages as targets, and the pdf might also be used as a stand-alone document that should open at the cover or TOC.

Different endings when typing continuous letters
One of my students has asked a question I've never encountered or thought about before. He asks why he can type the letter d continuously and the line will go all the way to the right margin, but if he types the letter x continuously on a line, it wraps to the next line before reaching the right margin. He points out that other letters end at different places and then wrap to the next line. Any ideas?

OT: MIL specs (was RE: general publication quiestion)
Why hurt Muslims' feelings with creative expressions such as Islamofascists? Don't get me wrong, I am not a Muslim. Yet when a hijab-clad mother of six was killed in broad daylight in front of her three-year-old in Fremont, California on Thursday, I could not but feel the pain of the anguished family. Her only fault was that she wore the scarf encouraged by her faith, just as jews would wear a scull-cap, Christians would wear a cross, Sikhs would wear a turban, and Hindus would wear a red Bindi. Labels hurt. If as enlighted writers we are free to use terms such as Islamofacists, how do we stop people from coining derogatory phrases using our religions, ethnicity, and color? This is a land of the free and the brave. However, some self-regulation is in order. Where is the moderator?

Hi Janet, In the maker.ini file there is a setting DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics. Change that to "On". Otherwise the display is optimized for screen display. But then sometimes it might differ from what you print. This setting affects only the line length. It does not change any line breaks or paragraph breaks.

He points out that other letters end at different places and then >wrap to the next line. Any ideas? In the interest of improved legibility on relatively low resolution devices like CRT or LCD monitors, the default configuration for FrameMaker's screen display allows uses fixed widths for individual glyphs that may differ slightly (by sub-pixel amounts) from the width of the same glyph as reproduced by a relatively high resolution devices like laser printers. The line-wrapping logic, on the other hand, always uses the printer metrics (the precise widths of the individual glyphs as reported by the printer driver) when determining where to break lines. In normal text using a proportional font and not using fully justified alignment, the positive and negative deviations in width (the amount by which screen characters are wider than or narrower than the corresponding printed characters) tend to average out and you won't notice large deviations in line lengths. (In fully justified text, you won't see line length difference at all because the inter-word spaces are adjusted to make all the lines equal length.) But if you repeat the same character over and over, the width differences accumulate and line length differences between become very noticeable. The line wrap logic only displays as many characters per line as the specific printer will actually produce, but the on-screen display of that line may be narrower or wider than the printed line. In cases the on-screen display may show lines extending beyond the right-hand margin (or in extreme cases, commonly with monospace fonts, even beyond the page edge) in the on-screen display. In the specific case you cite, the screen metrics of the "d" glyph apparent match the printer metrics fairly well, while the screen version of the "x" glyph is apparently narrower than the printed character. It's interesting to note that in the kind of test you describe (repeated characters with no spaces) you'll actually see the line length differences with a fully justified alignment as well as a ragged-right alignment because there are no inter-word spaces for FrameMaker to "fudge" to make things come out right. It's also worthwhile to note that the magnitude of the line length deviations (both absolute magnitude and relative magnitude between specific character pairs) will change as you change fonts (each font has its own unique metrics with different round-off errors for low-resolution display), when you change Windows printers (the font metrics come from the printer driver, and there may be subtle differences from one model to another), and when you change the FrameMaker zoom factor (the sub-pixel round-off errors are a much smaller percentage of the on-screen character widths at higher zoom factors). But if you prefer to see the actual lengths of text lines in the on-screen display, the Windows version of FrameMaker allows you to force the display to match the printer metrics, but with some small sacrifice in the rendition of individual glyphs (a few letter shapes may be slightly distorted in some lines) and inter-glyph spacing (some letters in some words may touch or may appear to have extra space between them), particularly with FrameMaker set to 100% or smaller. All you need to do is open the maker.ini file (in the base FrameMaker installation directory) with a text editor and alter the value of the DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics parameter from its default "Off" to "On". (This item is about half-way down in the file, which is many hundreds of line long.) Remember to quit FrameMaker before editing maker.ini and to save the edited file as plain text if you are using a word processor to do the editing. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Unavailable Fonts Message - Cross-Platform Issue?
Okay, folks What am I missing here?? I primarily work on Windows XP. However, last week I had occasion to work temporarily on a Mac. The Mac was not set up with all the same fonts we use in our template, and that wasn't an issue since we weren't doing any output from the Mac. The Remember Missing Fonts checkbox in Preferences is checked, so that when I migrated the files back to my regular Windows machine, everything should have been hunky-dory. And it was, except for one lone file On one file out of about a dozen, I am getting the "unavailable fonts" message when I open it on my Windows machine because the file is looking to use the Garamond font that the Mac machine subsituted in the absence of the usual Windows font. I didn't make any edits to this file, but I did save it on the Mac. So the logical next step is to locate the instances of the Garamond font in the file and remove the formatting override which removes the use of the Garamond font, right? Right. Except In a few cases, the Garamond font remains and will not go away no matter what I do to the text. These cases are in table cells. I don't know if that makes a difference; it shouldn't, but you just never know. Also, if you click or select a word in the table, the formatting appears normal, and the correct font family is displayed in the formatting bar. However, if you select (triple-click) the entire paragraph, the font family changes to Adobe Garamond, which I have installed on my machine, but do not use in the template. This is the font that gets substituted for the "missing" Garamond font, which is what the Mac machine used when it couldn't find the Schoolbook font from the Windows machine. I have tried using the "wash" feature in Mif2Go to see if that helps. The first time I open the file after "washing" it, the error does not appear. However, once I save (on Windows) and close the file, the error returns when the file is reopened. I saved the file as MIF to see where the Garamond font is being used, but that still doesn't explain why it's being used and why I can't get rid of it. Has anyone seen this before, and if so, what causes it and how do I fix it? I feel compelled to add that I worked in a cross-platform environment for several years and have NEVER had this type of problem before, despite all the warnings against using the evil Mac from those who don't know but think they do... Thanks for any light you can shed on this! I know it has to be something simple. -Lin
FW: Unavailable Fonts Message - Cross-Platform Issue?
As a follow-up to this, I've narrowed the "problem" down to paragraphs that contain text assigned character formats that include Bold weight as one of the characteristics. The text assigned the character formats appears as it should, and is NOT assigned the Garamond font. However, when the entire paragraph is selected, the font family is once again displayed as Garamond. I don't know if this helps diagnose the issue, but hopefully it will Again, this is only happening in one of a dozen or so files that were opened and saved on the other platform and brought back to the native machine.

When it's off, Frame displays characters to best fit the pixels on your screen. It makes the characters look their best, fudging line length to do so. When printer metrics are on, Frame spaces characters roughly according to the way they print. Justified text will all end exactly at the right margin, but individual characters may be crowded or poorly spaced on screen to make it so. I don't believe either setting affects the way a document prints-- only the way it displays. The effect varies according to the zoom level of the display. There is less fudging when displayed at 200% than at 100%, for example. I like to set DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics to on so that I get a realistic picture of line lengths. I can zoom in when I need to see accurate displays of kerning, stretch, etc. Mike Wickham
Cond Text in a text inset
It depends on how you import it and how you use the conditions in the source for the inset and the destination doc in which you've placed the inset. If you're consistent in the way you apply the tags on both ends and import using the destination doc's settings, I think you'd be OK. However, although I have tons of cond text experience, I admit I haven't done much with text insets. There are some others subscribing to this list who have used text insets very heavily who may provide greater, more reliable insight.

Indeed, TimeSavers can't "fix" this. It is possible technically to add a function that will suppress the coordinates info, so that links would point to a page rather to than to a specific location on a page. This is the case with PDFs authored in InDesign -- bookmarks & links created automatically from TOC entries use named destinations which store the page number but not the horizontal/vertical coordinates of the specific item within that page. I personally think that this is a limitation rather than a feature.

Cond Text in a text inset
No - just be aware that the inset inherits the conditions of its container file. So, for example, if your inset uses Condition B, and you import it into a Container file that uses Condition A, then the inset will also use Condition A.
