Sad news

I am so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I have used his plugins for as

Sad news

[Rick Quatro]

Hello Framers,

I am so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. He was certainly a legend in the
FrameMaker community. We will pray for his wife and family. "Whereas ye know
not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour,
that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away" (James 4:14).

Rick Quatro

Bruce Foster, creator of many fine FrameMaker plugins, passed away 
suddenly on Saturday, June 11, 2011. Although Mr Foster had been 
diagnosed with multiple myeloma in September 2010, his death still came 
earlier than was expected.

Mr Foster's wife Barbara Foster today responded to a recent e-mail I had 
sent to Bruce requesting assistance with his Archive plugin, by letting 
me know this news. Mrs Foster gave me permission to post here on 
FrameUsers, and mentioned her intention of updating her late husband's 
web page (http://home.comcast.net/~bruce.foster) with the news of his death.

Mr Foster's plugins for FrameMaker were Archive, BookInfo, ImpGraph, 
MifSave, MifToFM, and RtfSave.

RE: List serv for Flash users

[Tim Pann]

I don't know about Illustrator but I am a member of the kirupa listserv
(www.kirupa.com). That forum has been an amazing source of Flash and
Actionscript information for me and I cannot recommend it enough. Some
VERY smart and helpful people in there.

Good luck with the Illustrator forum.

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a list serv for Flash or Illustrator users that is
similar to this one for Framers? This list has been excellent for many
years. I'd like to think that there's another one out there for other
adobe applications.

Cross reference issues

[Theresa de Valence]

Hello Framers,

I recently produced a manual for a multi-day conference (i.e. book). All 
the sessions were located in sessions.fm. The format for the sessions was:


ID: 202
Analysis of Existing ABL Code (title)
Time:Sunday, June 5, 1:30 p.m.
Location:   Salem
Presenter:  Name, Title, Company, USA
Propellers: 2
Audience:	Developers and architects working with or designing program 
modifications in ABL


In several places, I created files with cross reference links to 
sessions.fm (agenda, mini-agenda, sessions by keyword, etc.) Thanks to 
this list, I was able to produce a cross reference which was: "title 
(ID: xxx) on page 57."


In retrospect, it would have been much better if I could have included 
the speaker’s full name on the cross reference list, e.g. "title (ID: 
xxx) by Dr. John Smith on page 57."


However, I see these problems:
* the speaker (presenter) is several lines away from the title
* every line starts with a "title" of what’s in the line
* the speaker (presenter) line has many other components in the line, 
other than the speaker’s name.

* sometimes there were multiple presenters for one session

Could I put all the data in a separate table and make EVERYTHING a 
cross-reference?


How would you recommend this be accomplished?

Thanks for your help,
Theresa

Hiding deletions in with Track Text Edits

[Keith . Soltys]

I'm starting to use the Track Text Edits feature in FrameMaker 10. 

It's nice to have, but there's one thing that I find annoying. In Word, I 
have my revision tracking set to use hidden text for deletions. I've 
deleted the text from the document - I really don't want to see it 
anymore. 

Framemaker shows me deleted text as strikethrough with colour of my choice 
(red). However, I can't hide it.

I know that FrameMaker uses conditions to show or hide the display of text 
flagged with the Track Text Edits feature. Is there any way that I can set 
things up so that the text marked with the deleted conditional is hidden? 
If there is, I can't see it. Or do I need an  add-in or a 
FrameScript/ExtendScript?

Regards
Keith

FW: Retrospectively standardising the styles across my book

[Smith, Andy]

Hi

 

Thanks for all the advice on standardising the styles across my book. I now 
realise that this is as much an issue of removing as many of the overrides as 
possible. I think I’ll probably end up with a version of each style with and 
without revision indicators which is going to make the list interesting.

 

Thanks also for the advice on plug-ins and applications that can help analysing 
and amending the styles. I’ve not had a chance to investigate any of these yet 
but I’ll give this a go when I get a chance.

 

Cheers

[Veronica Kutt]

Good day,

writers, documentation specialists, and instructional designers the skills to

easy to understand through
his organized and structured class. I now feel a lot more pro?cient in 
FrameMaker. Thanks Tim!
Ginger Hunter, Structured FrameMaker Authoring Documents, March 2011-04-28



Arnis was a very knowledgeable instructor for FrameMaker 9. He was able to 
deliver the material in a manner that was easy for beginners to follow but also 
had tips and insights for those who sought deeper explanations

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a list serv for Flash or Illustrator users that is
similar to this one for Framers? This list has been excellent for many
years. I'd like to think that there's another one out there for other
adobe applications.

Cross reference issues

[Theresa de Valence]

Hello Framers,

I recently produced a manual for a multi-day conference (i.e. book). All 
the sessions were located in sessions.fm. The format for the sessions was:

ID: 202
Analysis of Existing ABL Code (title)
Time:Sunday, June 5, 1:30 p.m.
Location:   Salem
Presenter:  Name, Title, Company, USA
Propellers: 2
Audience:   Developers and architects working with or designing program 
modifications in ABL

In several places, I created files with cross reference links to 
sessions.fm (agenda, mini-agenda, sessions by keyword, etc.) Thanks to 
this list, I was able to produce a cross reference which was: "title 
(ID: xxx) on page 57."

In retrospect, it would have been much better if I could have included 
the speaker?s full name on the cross reference list, e.g. "title (ID: 
xxx) by Dr. John Smith on page 57."

However, I see these problems:
* the speaker (presenter) is several lines away from the title
* every line starts with a "title" of what?s in the line
* the speaker (presenter) line has many other components in the line, 
other than the speaker?s name.
* sometimes there were multiple presenters for one session

Could I put all the data in a separate table and make EVERYTHING a 
cross-reference?

How would you recommend this be accomplished?

Thanks for your help,
Theresa

Ginger Hunter, Structured FrameMaker Authoring Documents, March 2011-04-28

FW: Retrospectively standardising the styles across my book

[Smith, Andy]

Hi



Thanks for all the advice on standardising the styles across my book. I now 
realise that this is as much an issue of removing as many of the overrides as 
possible. I think I?ll probably end up with a version of each style with and 
without revision indicators which is going to make the list interesting.



Thanks also for the advice on plug-ins and applications that can help analysing 
and amending the styles. I?ve not had a chance to investigate any of these yet 
but I?ll give this a go when I get a chance.



Cheers

RE: PowerPoint to Frame

[Dov Isaacs]

Assuming you are using a reasonably recent version of Microsoft Office, there 
is another easy way of extracting the graphical elements from the original 
document. Save the Office document using one of the new formats such as .DOCX 
(for Word), .XLSX (for Excel), or .PPTX (for PowerPoint). Those "new" files are 
actually Zip file archives, despite their file suffix. Open the file in your 
favorite ZIP utility after renaming the suffix to .ZIP. Inside the .ZIP file, 
you will find a subdirectory named media. Inside that media subdirectory, you 
will find all those wonderful graphics assets as actual files, typically .JPG, 
.TIF, .EPS, .WMF, .EMF, etc. Simply extract the file(s) from the ZIP archive 
and you have what you need!

Good luck.

finish finding and resetting all the graphics, THEN do the save-as-html trick. 
The resulting graphics file will populate with a bunch of image* files.

PowerPoint to Frame

[Pinkham, Jim]

Depending upon what your goals and needs are, another approach might be:

1. File -- Send To -- Microsoft Office Word. This gives you the text,
which you can then convert to plain text and format as needed with
styles in in your Frame document.
2. For graphics that need to be retained, I use a PowerPoint macro that
extracts them. I can't come up with the exact link in a hurry, but this
one may do the trick: http://skp.mvps.org/pptxp002.htm. If that does not
work for you, a more labor-intensive but definitely workable approach is
outlined here: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00344.htm.
