Re: Which files are critical for backing up?
Aside from graphics, there shouldn't be any file types except for .FM, .BOOK and .LCK. LCKs are lock files when a file is open to prevent someone else from modifying it at the same time. You don't need those. Of course you need all your graphic files as well. If you used Mif2Go to export the book to Word or Help, there are all sorts of files types there. IMHO you can delete all of them except for the INI files. -- Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 052-763-7133 Avraham Makeler wrote: Hi all, My client backs up it FM files to VSS.

Finding Fonts
All, I have been using InDesign for several years and have recently started using FrameMaker (FM8 on XP Pro) again (use dictated in each case by client requirements) after several years away from it. InDesign has a feature where you can search for the use of a specific font. Does FrameMaker have a similar function? I have a document that says I am using unavailable fonts when I open it. I also cannot run the Update Book function because of this same error. I have gone through the document page-by-page and do not see any fonts that appear out of the ordinary. I have all of my Paragraph definitions are set to use Arial. I have manually selected all of the text and attempted to force everything to Arial. I then save the file and close.

Re: Finding Fonts
Hi Brian, Stubborn missing fonts like this generally are hidden in table formats. You can use this general process to find and fix them. 1) Go to one of the default master pages (View Master Pages). 2) Click in the main text frame and insert the first table from your Table Catalog (Table Insert Table). 3) Click in each cell and remove any of the missing fonts. You do this by applying paragraph formats to the cell paragraphs; of course making sure that all of the paragraph formats you apply have valid fonts. 4) Make sure your cursor is in the table and open the Table Designer (Ctrl+T). Click the Update All button. 5) Delete the table from the text frame. 6) Repeat steps 2-5 for all of the tables in your Table Catalog. 7) Save the document, close, and reopen it. This should eliminate the missing fonts messages. If you are looking for a faster way (or if the above steps don't work for you), follow these steps. 1) Make sure the document is closed. 2) Choose File Preferences General and uncheck Remember Missing Font Names. Click Set. 3) Open the document. You will get a message about missing fonts, but this time FrameMaker will make a permanent substitution of the missing font or fonts. 4) Save and close the document. The next time you open it, you shouldn't get the missing fonts message. If you want, restore the Remember Missing Font Names settings in the Preferences dialog box. There is a way to find fonts through the Find/Change dialog box (Edit Find/Change), but it won't find fonts hidden in table formats anyway.

3) Click in each cell and remove any of the missing fonts. You do this by applying paragraph formats to the cell paragraphs; of course making sure that all of the paragraph formats you apply have valid fonts. In addition to checking cells, be sure to also check the table title. It is often turned off and, therefore, overlooked. FrameMaker seems to remember the table title font, even if table titles aren't used. Mike Wickham ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: Finding Fonts
Another way to find missing fonts is to create an Index of References and specify fonts. FrameMaker will generate a document with a hyperlink to the locations of each of the fonts used. You can follow a link and change the font. I don't believe this method will find fonts on master or reference pages, however.

FrameMaker will generate a document with a hyperlink to the locations of each of the fonts used. You can follow a link and change the font. I don't believe this method will find fonts on master or reference pages, however. This is a useful trick to have in your toolbox, but it will only find places where the unavailable font actually occurs in the body of your document. As Mike points out, it will not find any occurrences on master pages or reference pages. But the really nasty thing about the unavailable fonts message is that the font itself never has to occur in the text of the document. You'll still get the message if there is any format specification that names that font, even if you never use that format definition anywhere. And the font specification can be pretty deeply nested inside a format; for example, table formats include the formatting of every paragraph in the heading row, the first body row, the footing row, and the title (even if the title isn't used), and any of those paragraphs can potentially have a format override that uses the unavailable font. Examining the document in MIF is the only practical way to find these. You can also get the unavailable fontsmessage if the offending font is used in a graphic, even if that graphic is inserted by reference. This you'll never see in the MIF, and turning off remember font names will not fix it because the font is not actually in the FrameMaker file. And the strangest one I've ever seen bit me recently. It was a text-only file, so there was no issue of the font being in a graphic. Turning off remember font names didn't fix it. The font name was nowhere to be found in the MIF, either, but converting the MIF back to FM *did* fix the problem. Eventually I found that there had been a new text frame added on one of the the reference pages that somehow had a meaningless, extraneous font spec attached to it that named the unavailable font.

File errors like missing fonts that appear when opening a file cancel the book update process. To work around the problem, from the book window, open every file in the book by holding Shift while opening the File menu; Open becomes Open All Files in Book. Dismiss every missing font message. With all files now open, you can update the book. Regards, Peter __ Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices

In addition to checking cells, be sure to also check the table title. It is often turned off and, therefore, overlooked. FrameMaker seems to remember the table title font, even if table titles aren't used. Mike Wickham
Finding Fonts
Another way to find missing fonts is to create an Index of References and specify fonts. FrameMaker will generate a document with a hyperlink to the locations of each of the fonts used. You can follow a link and change the font. I don't believe this method will find fonts on master or reference pages, however. Mike Wickham

This is a useful trick to have in your toolbox, but it will only find places where the unavailable font actually occurs in the body of your document. As Mike points out, it will not find any occurrences on master pages or reference pages. But the really nasty thing about the unavailable fonts message is that the font itself never has to occur in the text of the document. You'll still get the message if there is any format specification that names that font, even if you never use that format definition anywhere. And the font specification can be pretty deeply nested inside a format; for example, table formats include the formatting of every paragraph in the heading row, the first body row, the footing row, and the title (even if the title isn't used), and any of those paragraphs can potentially have a format override that uses the unavailable font. Examining the document in MIF is the only practical way to find these. You can also get the unavailable fontsmessage if the offending font is used in a graphic, even if that graphic is inserted by reference. This you'll never see in the MIF, and turning off "remember font names" will not fix it because the font is not actually in the FrameMaker file. And the strangest one I've ever seen bit me recently. It was a text-only file, so there was no issue of the font being in a graphic. Turning off "remember font names" didn't fix it. The font name was nowhere to be found in the MIF, either, but converting the MIF back to FM *did* fix the problem. Eventually I found that there had been a new text frame added on one of the the reference pages that somehow had a meaningless, extraneous font spec attached to it that named the unavailable font.

Automatic way of changing the case of words
Hello All - What I would like to see is a quickie way to generate intercaps (or CamelCase, or whatever one wants to call it): a fourth option that would first capitalize the selected string (like ctrt+alt, c), then strip out the spaces between the words. That would be lovely. will white Monrovia CA On Dec 30, 2008, at 12:56 AM, Avraham Makeler wrote: > Thanks, all.

Automatic way of changing the case of words
Hi Will... I think that you'll have to resort to a custom FDK plugin or FrameScript. If you want to try the plugin route, contact me off list and we'll see what can be done.
