Importing Word fields and bookmarks to FM
Background: We are Word experts but inexperienced in FrameMaker. We are importing a large set of Word 2003 documents to FM 7.2. In our experiments so far, the following Word features seem to be lost in the import process. How can we preserve them, without needing to recreate them laboriously in FM? 1. Cross references (REF and HYPERLINK fields, along with the bookmarks that the references point to). 2. Index entries (XE fields). 3. Included text and graphics (INCLUDETEXT fields, which point to bookmarked text and graphics that are stored in another document). 4. WebWorks conditional text (PRIVATE WWMTS and PRIVATE WWMTE fields). If there is no simple GUI solution, an automated solution that requires programming (VBA and/or FrameScript) is definitely within reason. NOTE: I'm new to the Framer's list. I searched the archives for the above questions but didn't find much. If the subject is in the archives, I will be grateful if someone will point me to the appropriate thread. Thanks very much for your help. David Shaked (Wernick) AlmondWeb Ltd. http://www.almondweb.com Technical Documentation * Web Development * Word and WebWorks Consultants
Place graphics frame in anchored frame?
It can be even simpler than the procedure Richard describes. 1. Click the border of the graphic frame to select it and cut (ctrl x) or copy (ctrl c) to place it on the clipboard. 2. With the text cursor in the paragraph where you want the anchor for the anchored frame to be, and paste (ctrl v) the frame from the clipboard. FrameMaker will create an anchored frame with the anchoring position set to "below current line", alignment "centered", and sized identically to the graphic frame. Adjust as needed. I recommend using a separate "anchor" paragraph with no other text so you can better control space above/space below the image/anchored frame, but that's optional. - Lester --- Lester C.

CHM Help
Thanks for the feedback Linda. Actually, I found an answer on The Helpware Group's website, http://helpware.net/FAR/far_faq.htm. This is what they say: Why does my CHM window show the title "HTML Help " instead of my title? HTML Help is not a Unicode application, and there is a risk of showing garbage characters if the primary language ID of the CHM does not match the primary language ID of the systems LCID (for example a KOR help title displayed on a Japanese OS). The caveat here is when the help title is compiled as English. English help titles can display their titlebar string on all operating systems since all of the code pages support English. Unfortunately the check is too strict. Only the Primary Language ID should be checked, however HH also checks the Secondary Language ID causing say Portuguese (Brazil) help to display HTML Help on a Portuguese (Portugal) PC. In the case of English help, in the past all help had to be set to English (US). This bug was fixed in HH 1.31? and now English (Australian) help for example will display correctly on all systems. -Original Message- From: Linda G.

My understanding is that when you open the chm file on a French version of Windows, the title will appear correctly.

We use WebWorks ePublisher to generate the HTML pages from Frame documents. These are then passed to the MS HTML Workshop for compilation. Locale is set in the ePublisher Formats table - e.g. 'fr' for French. This setting is passed into the tag which starts each page. In the MS HTML project (HHP) file, there is also a 'locale' field as well as a 'title' field. The title as set here is the string which appears in the title bar of the CHM browser. Now this is where it gets strange. If the locale is left as English, the title appears (in French for example) as set in the HHP file. If the locale is set to French, the title appears as the default "HTML Help". Go figure. We are generating and compiling, by the way, on a multi-language drive. Has anyone come across this glitch?

Importing Word fields and bookmarks to FM
David, I haven't attempted to import such a complex document myself, so I'm not sure what is possible and what isn't on an item-by-item basis. I am surprised that the cross-refs, index markers, and similar "common" tools aren't imported; less so that text insets and so on aren't. What method are you using? FM's Word import, or RTF filter, Japanese RTF, or something else? Have you explored the third party filters yet? Blueberry Filtrix and others?
