Not at all: thank goodness that it does. What would you want it to do?

For any specific template and any specific monitor, there is always an optimal 
zoom setting that makes best use of the screen area. For FrameMaker to save the 
chosen zoom setting across a group of documents/book is a great time-saver. The 
only downside is the rather cumbersome way it applies zoom settings across a 
book.

Bear in mind that you can customize FrameMaker's zoom settings.

FrameMaker, Missing fonts

[Shmuel Wolfson]

I have a FM file that uses unavailable fonts. The FM message is:

The CenturySchoolbook,Italic Italic Font is not available.
 Times New Roman Italic will be used in this session.

There is not Times New Roman Italic in the font list, so I searched for 
the Times New Roman font and replaced it with another font.  
Unfortunately, I still get the same message. Any ideas? It won't let me 
update the book this way.

Re: FW: Graphics and Reference Pages

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

Thanks, Stuart. I had forgotten about this one. Downloaded it 2-3
years ago and did not have the time to use it. Did some testing just
now and found that, seemingly, it can completely replace the awkward
tables.

I am going to give it a serious try, as I am in the middle of a manual
which does a frequent use of icons for notes, warnings and cautions,
which I had went into trouble of creating in Illustrator (using my
limited skills!).

 Subject: Graphics and Reference Pages



 Hello, All!

 This has been my first real venture into reference pages and I have
 managed to befuddle myself.  I am trying to connect a small graphic to a
 particular paragraph tag. I managed to get the tagging part correct.
 However, I want the graphic to appear directly left of the paragraph,
 not above/below. Does anyone have an idea of how to do this? And, if so,
 am I correct in my assumption that there are no strange caveats to using
 structured Frame and these?

 Please reply directly, as I am on digest and won't see any answers until
 tomorrow morning.


Kristy,

Frame doesn't directly support your goal via the frame above/below
feature. However, you can get the result you want by using a borderless,
one-row, two-cell table, with the left cell pgf-tagged with a tiny font
(no content) and a frame below containing your icon. Put the textual
content in the other cell.

An easier way is to get the free reficons plug-in by Chris
Despopoulos, available here: http://www.freeframers.org/freeware/cud/

HTH,

Thanks for your response.

I found some information about where to find missing fonts, but it would 
have been very time consuming to go though the whole list of 
possibilities. See http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker32.html#1


So after searching for the font that Frame used as a replacement and not 
finding it, I figured it couldn't hurt to turn off Remember Missing 
Fonts temporarily.

Re: How many writers/engineer

[Art Campbell]

I've used a metric of 1-8 for software companies; higher for those
that also do hardware because hardware is typically more labor
intensive but has fewer user options.

I'm not positive, but I believe a classic book called Rapid
Development contains some metrics.

If you haven't already, check the STC site.

RE: FrameMaker, Missing fonts

[Ridder, Fred]

Note that there is a very good reason why you did not find 
Times New Roman when you did a search. With the Remember
Missing Font Names preference turned on, the substitution only 
occurs on the screen (and in any printed output). The font
specifications that are in the document itself are *not* changed--
that's the whole point of the remember names option. Only 
after opening the file with remember names turned off would 
you find the substituted font specified by name in the file itself.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Generating a list of paragraph tags with properties?

[Van Boening, Tammy]

I am sure that this is a job for Framescript, but darn it, you can do it
in Word without doing anything special (Print  and under Print What,
select Styles), so I am hoping that you can do it on Framemaker. I want
to generate on a per file basis, a list of all paragraph tags used in
the file - I want the name of the tag, and all the properties of the tag
(Basic, Pagination, Advanced, etc.).  

Is this possible?

Thanks,

TVB

Yesbut... you need Silicon Prairie's Paragraph Tools plug-in. (It's only $10.)

Be aware that such documents can run to hundreds of pages in FrameMaker.

FrameMaker, Missing fonts

[Shmuel Wolfson]

Thanks for your response.

I found some information about where to find missing fonts, but it would 
have been very time consuming to go though the whole list of 
possibilities. See http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker32.html#1

So after searching for the font that Frame used as a replacement and not 
finding it, I figured it couldn't hurt to turn off "Remember Missing 
Fonts" temporarily.

FrameMaker, Missing fonts

[Ridder, Fred]

Note that there is a very good reason why you did not find 
Times New Roman when you did a search. With the "Remember
Missing Font Names" preference turned on, the substitution only 
occurs on the screen (and in any printed output). The font
specifications that are in the document itself are *not* changed--
that's the whole point of the "remember names" option. Only 
after opening the file with "remember names" turned off would 
you find the substituted font specified by name in the file itself.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Generating a list of paragraph tags with properties?

[Van Boening, Tammy]

I am sure that this is a job for Framescript, but darn it, you can do it
in Word without doing anything special (Print  and under Print What,
select Styles), so I am hoping that you can do it on Framemaker. I want
to generate on a per file basis, a list of all paragraph tags used in
the file - I want the name of the tag, and all the properties of the tag
(Basic, Pagination, Advanced, etc.).  

Is this possible?

Thanks,

TVB

Yesbut... you need Silicon Prairie's Paragraph Tools plug-in. (It's only $10.)



Be aware that such documents can run to hundreds of pages in FrameMaker.
