RE: Keeping Two Tables Together in Frame 6.0
Hi Stuart, Yes, the second table will move to the next page when there isn't enough room on the bottom of the page for its first two rows. We want to keep the two tables together in all instances (the first table with at least the first two lines of the second table). So if there's not enough room on the page for the first table AND the first two lines of the second table, we want them both to go to the next page together.

third-party or Frame tools for doc review/collaboration
If you are using FrameMaker 8, you can use "Track Text Edits" for review purposes. This of course assumes that reviewer also has a copy of FrameMaker 8 and you can trust the reviewer with the source files. For review of the final output, PDF based commenting is probably the best bet. You may also want to check the "Merge Comments" functionality in Acrobat when you send the PDF out to multiple reviewers. Thanks and regards Vivek Jain

cudspan dobatch plugin problem (FrameMaker crashes)
Hello and happy new year to all, I have a problem with Chris Despopoulos' DoBatch plugin from his Cudspan series of plugins. Judging from the mailing list he hasn't made an appearance yet, but maybe somebody else can clarify. We're using the DoBatch plugin to save several hundred files (in a number of batches) as PostScript (in a watched folder that get converted to PDF). It worked perfectly while we were using it in FrameMaker5.5.6+SGML. However, since we migrated to 7.2, we're encountering reproducible FrameMaker crashes when using the plugin. The only available version appears to be 1.0.0.1 dated 17 dec 2001. Has anybody else encountered this problem and possibly found a solution to it? Also, in case we are unable to resolve this issue, I am considering using Omnisys' runfm.exe batch tool. Would this be a valid alternative? Thank you in advance. -- cheers, Jakob.
OT (maybe): Saving Watermark Settings in Acrobat 8
Hi all- I use the watermark tool in Acrobat for indicating "draft" and other temporary statuses during docs review, since it's faster than doing it in FrameMaker. However, Acrobat can't seem to save the font family as part of the watermark settings. It saves everything else (size, color, opacity, position, etc.) but not the font. Is this is a bug, or is there some magical reason why this is happening? Lin PS - Yes, I know it's easy enough to just change the font family each time, but I'm extraordinarily lazy, and also picky. If something is supposed to work a certain way, I expect it to. I know I also can use a graphic file instead, but that means our team needs to maintain yet another file. I'd prefer to keep that to a minimum, since there's always a rogue employee who wants to delete files on a whim.

RE: Keeping Two Tables Together in Frame 6.0
Hi Lester, Thanks for your email response and to the other email response I got with similar suggestions. These are all good suggestions about controlling where or how much a single table will break across pages. My issue is that the second table sometimes breaks away from the first table, depending on the pagination of each page. I want at least the first two lines of the second table to stay together with the first table in all instances. The two tables are both anchored to the same blank paragraph line. We thought of putting the first table into an anchored frame inside the top (straddled) row of the second table to keep both together in one table. But because of the amount of conditional text that we use, this isn't an option either. The anchored frame will not shrink or expand automatically to accommodate the various conditional text versions, and the documents are too long for us to adjust the anchored frames manually. Thanks, Theresa -Original Message- From: Lester C. Smalley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 7:22 AM To: Theresa Zamborsky; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Keeping Two Tables Together in Frame 6.0 Theresa - Is it acceptable to have the tables themselves break over page/column boundaries? You should check the Orphan Row setting (in the Basic tab of the table designer) and change the value to a smaller figure, even down to its minimum setting of 1. Note that this is explicitly only orphan rows - there is no "widow row" option, so you could get an initial single row and then the balance of the table on the next page. There is also the possibility that the rows have a custom minimum height or Keep with Next/Previous settings (both controlled via Table > Row Format) that affect how a table breaks if necessary. You might also reduce the cell margins of the table design, and also of the paragraphs used in the cells (under the Table Cell tab of the paragraph designer) to reduce the vertical space needed for the contents of a row. The table's Space Above/Space Below properties may also affect pagination. Finally, does the anchoring paragraph have its Keep with Next, or the next paragraph the Keep with Previous, setting enabled?

OT: RoboHelp documentation
We ordered two copies of the Adobe Technical Communications Suite, as well as two sets of documentation. The software arrived before Thanksgiving, but yesterday we were notified that Adobe had cancelled production of the documentation. We've been able to track down most of the manuals online, but we're stuck when it comes to RoboHelp. We've never used this app before and really need some guidance. Help files are fine as far as they go, but we don't need information in spoonfuls -- we need help seeing the big picture. We need a big honking manual. There is a link to RoboHelp documentation on Adobe's web site, but all the docs refer to v.6 and earlier: http://www.adobe.com/support/ robohelp/documentation.html Another Adobe link leads nowhere: See -- http://www.adobe.com/ support/documentation/en/robohelp/ then click the Adobe RoboHelp 7: Getting Started link. All you get is an "Access Denied" page. Phoning Adobe Customer Support was a total waste of time. I spoke to several very nice young New Delhi denizens with faux Anglo names, all of whom were extremely polite and completely clueless (Adobe's fault, not theirs). We found and ordered a third-party RoboHelp book from Amazon, but have no way of assessing quality or completeness. So, can anyone recommend other resources for learning RoboHelp? (And when it comes to customer support, is Adobe the new Microsoft?) Many thanks for your consideration, --D Reynolds ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
cudspan dobatch plugin problem (FrameMaker crashes)
Hello and happy new year to all, I have a problem with Chris Despopoulos' DoBatch plugin from his Cudspan series of plugins. Judging from the mailing list he hasn't made an appearance yet, but maybe somebody else can clarify. We're using the DoBatch plugin to save several hundred files (in a number of batches) as PostScript (in a watched folder that get converted to PDF). It worked perfectly while we were using it in FrameMaker5.5.6+SGML. However, since we migrated to 7.2, we're encountering reproducible FrameMaker crashes when using the plugin. The only available version appears to be 1.0.0.1 dated 17 dec 2001. Has anybody else encountered this problem and possibly found a solution to it? Also, in case we are unable to resolve this issue, I am considering using Omnisys' runfm.exe batch tool. Would this be a valid alternative? Thank you in advance. -- cheers, Jakob. ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
