Re: Connection between Table Designer and Paragraph Designer?

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Eva,

You can't specify different formats for subsequent rows; only the first row 
of each type can be set.

Lines are set in the Ruling tab of the Table Designer. You can create and 
edit ruling formats by choosing Table  Custom Ruling  Shading. Then click 
the Edit Ruling Style button.

Rick

 Hi Rick,

 Thanks for this valuable info.
 What I still don't get is how/if I can update the format on the subsequent
 rows?
 The header row is fine. The first body row is fine (left cell has
 InstructionNumberFirst table tag), but the second body row should have a
 left cell of InstructionNumber as the table tag. And this I don't achieve
 even after following your steps below... Is it perhaps so that the steps
 below only affects the two first rows (header + first body row)? I need a
 change on the second (and subsequent) body rows for my automatic numbering
 to work...

 The table looks like this now:

 Header:   Step  Action
 Body 1:   1.
 Body 2:   1.

 The body 2 should of course be 2..

 Also, do you happen to know where settings like line colors are set?

 Thanks very much,

 Eva

Re: Cover page heading shows up as last PDF bookmark

I have a document with a cover page that contains the document title. The

Why?
How do I make the doc title show up as the first bookmark? (without having

Re: Connection between Table Designer and Paragraph Designer?

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Eva

As Rick said, you cannot specify different formats for different rows, but
this does not mean that you cannot apply autonumbering to the rows of your
Step-Action tables (I guess this is an Information Mapping template?).

You can do this as follows:

   1. Use the InstructionNumber Paragraph Tag only (this is a paratag, not a
   table tag) and put this in the left cell of the first body row.
   2. In the table header row, use autonumbering for the cell which has the
   text Step. You may want to create a dedicated paratag for this, in which
   you reset the numbering to zero. I use the tag z_steptitle for this, to make
   sure that the numbering in my Step-Action tables always restarts at 1.
   3. Open the Table Designer and click Update All. All Step-Action tables
   which you insert from now on will (or should) have correct autonumbering. To
   test this, insert another Step-Action table and add some rows.

Some other tips:

   - Use a single tag only for numbering. NumberedFirst and Numbered is
   a no-no because you are using two different tags for something which is
   basically one and the same thing: numbered steps. If you want to reset the
   numbering for some reason, you can do this with a stem sentence (and
   corresponding tag).
   - Don't use Step-Action tables. Use simple numbered lists instead. A
   Step-Action table doesn't add value to your content, on the contrary.
   Moreover, it takes some gymnastics to put a table in a table (embedded
   if-then tables) in FrameMaker. Inserting an if-then table in a numbered list
   is a lot easier.
   - Don't use Information Mapping. It's a proprietary (and thus
   restrictive) information model. Use DITA instead, open, freely available and
   supported by all major editors and content management systems. See also:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Information_Typing_Architecture


If you cannot get the autonumbering of your table right, just send me 1 FM
file and I will fix it for you (free of charge).

Good luck.

Kind regards

Hot Keys Macros

[Donlad W. Spencer]

Rick Q. et al:

I recently gave up on converting a one-file book to a master/sub-document
group in MSWord because of the infuriating problems thus created. Having
previously self published a rather complicated book through Framemaker 7.2,
I decided to migrate the book now and have done with it. I am almost over
the re-learning curve and have solved all the formatting and numbering
problems. However, what I have given up are the macro/hotkeys which I had
developed in Word that emulated my old Worstar navigation and editing
hotkeys. Without them, I'm stuck with creating a Temp.doc in Word, composing
within it, saving it, and then importing it into my Frame book.

If I purchased FrameScript, could I create the same macros? Or must I change
my OS to Unix and purchase the Unix version of Framemaker?

Can't really afford either choice, but in case my situation improves, I
would like to know my options.

You can edit the cmds.cfg file if you want to change the ESCAPE

The file is very hard to read in Notepad, but when you open it in a good

 Another problem concering line elements on Reference pages:

 B) If not, I guess I need to create two varieties of this line. But where do

I assume you are using these lines for some purpose other than 
separating cells, since the table itself has that functionality in both 
the designer and in custom ruling.

What you are pulling from the reference page is not the line that you 
see there, but the frame that contains the line.  By default, the frame 
has a white fill.  If you select the frame and change its fill to None, 
you will solve the problem.

 User variables cannot be used in autonumbers. If you are not using the

If you need $volnum for something else, you could achieve your output by 
putting your RevNum variable in a run-in paragraph that is defined to 
have an n+ autonumbered paragraph as Next pgf.  (More effort, so I 
hope $volnum works for you!)

Re: Hot Keys Macros

[Peter Gold]

Hi, Donald:

As you probably know, nothing on the Internet ever dies, and this
includes the WordStar keystroke habits embedded in the cultural
unconscious of many among us.

FrameMaker keystroke shortcuts are not the same as WS, though some of
Windows are quite similar. Instead of ^S ^D ^E and ^X for character
left, right, and line up, down, arrow keys do it.

Look up keystrokes in FM help, and framemaker keystrokes and
framemaker keystroke shortcuts on Google to find some charts and
listings of some of the many things that you can do in FM without a
mouse.

Also, open a copy of the command text files in the configui folder
under your FM installation directory, to see listings of the many
commands and their keystrokes built into FM. Read about how to create
your own, as well as customizing menus, in the PDF Customizing
Framemaker, also under the FM installation directory.

To truly mimic WS commands, search for a third-party keystroke macro recorder.


HTH

Re: Great Leap

[Art Campbell]

It's pretty painless, assuming your hardware and OS is 8-grade rather than
6.

However, upgrading to the Tech Comm Suite costs about the same if you also
use Acrobat, RoboHelp, or Captivate. So that gives you a lot more bang for
the buck -- you pay the tab for two applications and get several more.

If you have templates for generated list files (TOC, Index etc) you may

Re: Great Leap

[Dave Reynolds]

Hi Murray

We also upgraded from FM6 to FM8 (on Win XP and 2000).  I don't remember 
encountering any problems.  I tested FM8 for our Tech Pubs group, and I 
made the following notes about what I noticed was different: 

* The Page Up and Page Down keys move the file up or down by one
  screen, not by one page. If you don't like this you can use the
  customui.cfg file to change it.
* The Print  PDF Setup dialog has more options.
*  Document Info (for a PDF file) is no longer set from the Print
PDF Setup dialog. To enter Document Info in FM8:
  o from an open file select File  File Info
  o from a book select the file(s) and select File  File info,
or right click on the selected file(s) and select File Info.
* When selecting a font from the drop-down list in Paragraph
  Designer  Default Font  Family, you get a pop-up showing the
  font name in that font.
* The file names in the book window are in a smaller font, or else
  they just look smaller because they're not bold anymore.
* The page background in an open file now picks up the Window
  background colour from your Windows colour scheme.

RE: How can I use variables in the autonumber format of paragraphs?

[Syed.Hosain]

Hi, Stuart and Rick.

Rick wrote:

 User variables cannot be used in autonumbers. If you are
 not using the $volnum variable for any other purpose, you
 could use it for this.

Stuart wrote:

 If you need $volnum for something else, you could achieve
 your output by putting your RevNum variable in a run-in
 paragraph that is defined to have an n+ autonumbered
 paragraph as Next pgf.  (More effort, so I hope $volnum
 works for you!)

Thanks much for your inputs so far! Greatly appreciated.

The run-in paragraph method does not work for me unfortunately (the
specific numbered paragraph is in a table element, so there isn't any
prior paragraph that I can use - assuming I am understanding your
description correctly).

But, luckily, so far, my experiments with $volnum are working ... I have
gained some experience with doing this, but some new questions have
arisen (so I will send this back to the entire list too).

1. I changed the value of the Volume (hence the variable volnum) using
the Numbering Property of the file. I had to use the Text format,
since the others (including the default Numeric) did not allow for the
decimal period in 22.5 to be used. My key question ... just to confirm
... is this okay to use this method, i.e., changing the Volume property
(and hence the $volnum variable) without the likelihood of the $volnum
variable being used in ways - elsewhere in FrameMaker, etc. - that could
cause me problems? I don't use it in my document itself ...

2. I changed the Volume property on the first file in the book to
22.5, and then changed the rest of the files to Use Same Number as
Previous File ... this worked after I did a Edit-Update Book
(otherwise, it did not!). Is it unusual to have to *do* the
Edit-Update Book to get this setting to take or is this normal?

3. Does anyone know if the BookVars built-in from Leximation supports
setting the $volnum variable or Volume property from their .ini input
file? This would simplify life a lot ... I change book-level variables
all the time using BookVars and it would be great to change this
system variable through the same control method!

Thanks!

Connection between Table Designer and Paragraph Designer?

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Eva,

You can't specify different formats for subsequent rows; only the first row 
of each type can be set.

Lines are set in the Ruling tab of the Table Designer. You can create and 
edit ruling formats by choosing Table > Custom Ruling & Shading. Then click 
the Edit Ruling Style button.

Make sure that you have one flow ("A") for the entire content, update your

Connection between Table Designer and Paragraph Designer?

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Eva

As Rick said, you cannot specify different formats for different rows, but
this does not mean that you cannot apply autonumbering to the rows of your
Step-Action tables (I guess this is an Information Mapping template?).

You can do this as follows:

   1. Use the InstructionNumber Paragraph Tag only (this is a paratag, not a
   table tag) and put this in the left cell of the first body row.
   2. In the table header row, use autonumbering for the cell which has the
   text "Step". You may want to create a dedicated paratag for this, in which
   you reset the numbering to zero. I use the tag z_steptitle for this, to make
   sure that the numbering in my Step-Action tables always restarts at 1.
   3. Open the Table Designer and click Update All. All Step-Action tables
   which you insert from now on will (or should) have correct autonumbering. To
   test this, insert another Step-Action table and add some rows.

Some other tips:

   - Use a single tag only for numbering. "NumberedFirst" and "Numbered" is
   a no-no because you are using two different tags for something which is
   basically one and the same thing: numbered steps. If you want to reset the
   numbering for some reason, you can do this with a stem sentence (and
   corresponding tag).
   - Don't use Step-Action tables. Use simple numbered lists instead. A
   Step-Action table doesn't add value to your content, on the contrary.
   Moreover, it takes some gymnastics to put a table in a table (embedded
   if-then tables) in FrameMaker. Inserting an if-then table in a numbered list
   is a lot easier.
   - Don't use Information Mapping. It's a proprietary (and thus
   restrictive) information model. Use DITA instead, open, freely available and
   supported by all major editors and content management systems. See also:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Information_Typing_Architecture


If you cannot get the autonumbering of your table right, just send me 1 FM
file and I will fix it for you (free of charge).

Good luck.

Kind regards

User Defined Hotkeys

[Shmuel Wolfson]

You can edit the "cmds.cfg" file if you want to change the ESCAPE 
shortcut sequences.

The file is very hard to read in Notepad, but when you open it in a good 
text editor (Crimson, SciTE, or Notepad++) it's much easier to read.

I assume you are using these lines for some purpose other than 
separating cells, since the table itself has that functionality in both 
the designer and in custom ruling.

What you are pulling from the reference page is not the line that you 
see there, but the frame that contains the line.  By default, the frame 
has a white fill.  If you select the frame and change its fill to None, 
you will solve the problem.

If you need $volnum for something else, you could achieve your output by 
putting your RevNum variable in a run-in paragraph that is defined to 
have an  autonumbered paragraph as Next pgf.  (More effort, so I 
hope $volnum works for you!)

Hot Keys & Macros

[Peter Gold]

Hi, Donald:

As you probably know, nothing on the Internet ever dies, and this
includes the WordStar keystroke habits embedded in the cultural
unconscious of many among us.

FrameMaker keystroke shortcuts are not the same as WS, though some of
Windows are quite similar. Instead of ^S ^D ^E and ^X for character
left, right, and line up, down, arrow keys do it.

Look up keystrokes in FM help, and framemaker keystrokes and
framemaker keystroke shortcuts on Google to find some charts and
listings of some of the many things that you can do in FM without a
mouse.

Also, open a copy of the command text files in the configui folder
under your FM installation directory, to see listings of the many
commands and their keystrokes built into FM. Read about how to create
your own, as well as customizing menus, in the PDF Customizing
Framemaker, also under the FM installation directory.

To truly mimic WS commands, search for a third-party keystroke macro recorder.

I went from FM 6 to FM 8 and did not have any problems. I like the track
changes feature and conditional text changes. Yes, your old files are
compatible, but once you move to FM 8, you cannot use FM 6 to edit the
files without some effort.

It's pretty painless, assuming your hardware and OS is 8-grade rather than
6.

However, upgrading to the Tech Comm Suite costs about the same if you also
use Acrobat, RoboHelp, or Captivate. So that gives you a lot more bang for
the buck -- you pay the tab for two applications and get several more.

When it comes to software, it's always A good idea to look before you
leap, but if you download all the latest patches from Adobe, you
shouldn't have any issues.
If you have templates for generated list files (TOC, Index etc) you may
want to consider rebuilding them within the FM8 environment - just to be
on the safe side. I rebuilt my more complex gen-list templates, the rest
I re-saved in FM8, and all of them seem to be working okey-dokey.
