RE: Updating Existing Table Formats
Hi Jack, The column widths of existing tables do not change when you import formats from another document. Take a look at my TableCleaner plugin for a way to globally resize tables of a particular format. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much. http://www.frameexpert.com/plugins/tablecleaner/ Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-659-8267 r...@frameexpert.com From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of jdela...@comcast.net Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2011 9:47 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Updating Existing Table Formats Frame 10.0.1.402 on XP Pro SP3 I'm creating a new template with sideheads and table definitions that begin at the left margin, i.e., at the left side of the sidehead. That's what I want; works fine in the template, and also after I import the new table design (Format C) into the files that I want to update, i.e., when I use Insert Table, Format C begins at the left margin and spans the sidehead so it runs all the way from the left margin to the right margin. But the existing Format C tables are not affected by the new definition - they begin at the left side of the body text (the sidehead is used for section numbers). I would expect that they would resize. How can I update the existing tables to use my new Format C? When I select one, it shows up in the Table Designer as Format C, but that's the old version. What I want is just like Format: Across All Columns and Side Heads, but for a table. I'm (reasonably) sure that this must be fairly easy to do.

Accept and reject changes
I'm using Frame 10, trying out the Track Text Edits feature. It's no problem when I make changes, but when it comes time to accept or reject changes, it looks like I have to go to the menu bar every time I want to look for the next change, then accept or reject it.

nested alpha lists and bulleted lists within numbered lists
I have encountered a numbering issue when I include a nested alphabetical list within a numbered list. To the best of my knowledge, I am using the correct numbering and list tags: Heading 4 n=1.\t (Numbered1) n+.\t(Numbered) a=1.\t (Numbered2) a+.\t(Numbered3) •\t(Bullet3) •\t •\t n+.\t(Numbered) Output is as follows: *B. Offsetting Credit Found in _ .* 1. Send out a cashier’s check. Make sure the case (credit case) is still open before creating an Official Check. 2. Inside the case notes type the following: a.Ready to cut check C/W (case number is needed). b. Check to see if we have a relationship the bank. – If there’s a relationship, waive the fees. – If not a relationship, contact the bank and informed the bank of the research fees. – The fees can be deducted from the cashier check or the funds can be sent for the research. c.Click *__*. 4. Go into the __ program and enter notes. This is an unstructured document. As you can see, Frame is reading the alpha list, or possibly item c., as a 3. in the numbered list, so it skips from 2. to 4. I've spent about an hour researching this and can't seem to find anything. Lacking an alternative, I've changed the alpha list to bullets and moved on. This corrects the problem and the final numbered item is 3., which is correct. However, there may be situations in the future in which I may need to use the Numbered - Alpha - Bullet - Numbered format. Suggestions anyone?

Frame 10 crashes when saving a book
FrameMaker 10.0.1.402, Windows XP SP3 32-bit, structured I am experiencing frequent crashes when I save a book after updating it. This happens pretty much every time I try to save a book. The books and files I am working with were originally written in FrameMaker 8. I thought that re-creating the book from scratch in Frame 10 might help (it worked for another user I know who had the same problem) but that didn't help. I've been working with track text edits on these books (I hadn't used it in Frame 8), so I accepted all changes and disabled it. That made no difference. Also, I was working with the structured interface on (I am working with unstructured files, but have been experimenting with DITA). I switched to the unstructured interface, but it made no difference. The only thing I've found that works, and it's a temporary solution, is to save the book as Frame 10 MIF, and then reopen it. That allows me to save the book, at least until the next update, when it is likely to crash again. This is getting extremely annoying. Has anyone else experienced this?

The first figure will not start at 3-1. I must use Para Designer to program with n=1. That works OK, but... 2. The LOF will not list in the correct order, always starting with Figure 3-2, Figure 3-1, Figure 3-3... This is a new one for me. Any ideas?

The TableCleaner plugin is a godsend! My docs consist of table after table

Re: FrameMaker10 update released
Hi Kapil, I got an automatic suggestion to update the other day, and it just went like a charm. However, I think it is great that you take the time to advise the list of this update. Thanks. Bodvar Bjorgvinsson Iceland 2011/6/22 Kapil Verma kve...@adobe.com Hi Everyone, Hope you are well. In case you don’t know me, I am the product manager for FrameMaker. I am pleased to let you know that we recently released a patch on FrameMaker10, in which we have fixed several bugs. See below for more details on the issues fixed. As part of this patch, we have fixed several issues that were reported to us by our users and partners. For obvious reasons, it is not possible to list out all the contributors in this short note, but I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all those who contributed by reporting these issues and helping us improve the stability of the product further. In particular, I would like to call out Scott Prentice (Leximation) and Franz Kauffman (Systec) for their valuable contributions. Please keep providing your valuable feedback in the future as well. The patch 10.0.1 can be downloaded from here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22platform=Windows. Also, the readme for the patch is here http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/framemaker/win/10.x/Adobe_FrameMaker_10_0_1_Readme.pdf . *Issues fixed in the update* 1. ‘Print to PDF’ command now ask PDF destination even for 64 bit machines. 2. ‘Remove Overrides’ option is now available in Find/Change dialog box in unstructured Framemaker as well. 3. Duplicate content was generated while saving in ePub format. Now content appears only once. This is relevant for Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3 and Adobe FrameMaker Server 10 users. 4. ’Save as RTF’ command dropped graphics if the file path had Japanese characters or if the graphic files had dpi more than 300. Now graphics remain in the RTF file as expected. 5. ‘Save as RTF’ command used to introduce some junk characters in Japanese version of Frame- Maker. This has been fixed now. 6. FrameMaker used to crash during ‘Save As RTF’ command if the header/footer of the Frame- Maker file contains a variable whose variable data has certain type of Japanese characters. This has been fixed now. 7. FrameMaker 10 used to crash on performing spell-check on files having unicode quotation marks i.e. U+2018, U+2019, U+201C, U+201D in user dictionary. This has been now fixed. 8. FrameMaker’s performance when dictionary language is changed frequently with Auto Spell Check set to on has been improved. 9. Earlier fonts that contain CJK character sets were not showing correct hyphenation for certain words. This has been fixed now. 10. FrameMaker 10 used to crash on using Ctrl+F4 to close Book files. This has been fixed. 11. FrameMaker was unable to save book, containing files with SVG reference, to XML. This has been fixed now. 12. Some ExtendScript API’s in FrameMaker had memory leaks. This has been fixed now. 13. ExtendScript’s “ObjectValid()” function returned false for each table when we get a list of tables using GetText(). This has been fixed now. 14. ExtendScript sample “BookMIFWash” had some errors. This has been fixed now. 15. Extend Script: Structure objects that contains members of type string* *** Extend Script: Structure objects that contains members of type string (Attribute, TextItem etc.) were not returning the value of these members correctly on querying if the value contains Unicode content. This has been fixed now. 16. Whitespaces were not removed correctly in case of inline conrefs. This has been fixed now. 17. UNICODETEXT renamed to UNICODE TEXT in ClipboardFormatsPriorities in maker.ini to make it consistent with previous FrameMaker versions. 18. Cross references between different topicrefs of a ditamap were not working in the final PDF if that PDF is produced from the book generated from ditamap. Now cross references work fine. 19. While publishing ditamap to Book, converting child ditamap to child book has been made configurable. Child ditamaps now can be published as one compound document or as Child Book. Parameter “GenerateFlatBook” under the section “OutputGeneration” can be set to 1 in ditafm.ini for compound doc generation from child ditamaps. Default value is 0. When working via API, another save parameter has been added namely, FS_DitaGenerateFlatBook.: FV_DoUserPreference, FV_DoYes, FV_DoNo. 20. For some of the misspelled words the spellings correction was not showing the correct

Updating Existing Table Formats
Frame 10.0.1.402 on XP Pro SP3 I'm creating a new template with sideheads and table definitions that begin at the left margin, i.e., at the left side of the sidehead. That's what I want; works fine in the template, and also after I import the new table design (Format C) into the files that I want to update, i.e., when I use Insert Table, Format C begins at the left margin and spans the sidehead so it runs all the way from the left margin to the right margin. But the existing Format C tables are not affected by the new definition - they begin at the left side of the body text (the sidehead is used for section numbers). I would expect that they would resize. How can I update the existing tables to use my new Format C? When I select one, it shows up in the Table Designer as "Format C", but that's the old version. What I want is just like "Format: Across All Columns and Side Heads", but for a table. I'm (reasonably) sure that this must be fairly easy to do.

Updating Existing Table Formats
Hi, Lea - The suggestions I'm trying out now were 1) to create a table anchor format paratag to span across columns, 2) use a plugin. I think Rick's TableCleaner will help me automate a lot of the formatting. "Terrif" is just an editorial comment by me. ;) Bestest, Jack DeLand -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

FrameMaker10 update released
Hi Everyone, Hope you are well. In case you don't know me, I am the product manager for FrameMaker. I am pleased to let you know that we recently released a patch on FrameMaker10, in which we have fixed several bugs. See below for more details on the issues fixed. As part of this patch, we have fixed several issues that were reported to us by our users and partners. For obvious reasons, it is not possible to list out all the contributors in this short note, but I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all those who contributed by reporting these issues and helping us improve the stability of the product further. In particular, I would like to call out Scott Prentice (Leximation) and Franz Kauffman (Systec) for their valuable contributions. Please keep providing your valuable feedback in the future as well. The patch 10.0.1 can be downloaded from here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22=Windows. Also, the readme for the patch is herehttp://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/framemaker/win/10.x/Adobe_FrameMaker_10_0_1_Readme.pdf. Issues fixed in the update 1. 'Print to PDF' command now ask PDF destination even for 64 bit machines. 2. 'Remove Overrides' option is now available in Find/Change dialog box in unstructured Framemaker as well. 3. Duplicate content was generated while saving in ePub format. Now content appears only once. This is relevant for Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3 and Adobe FrameMaker Server 10 users. 4. 'Save as RTF' command dropped graphics if the file path had Japanese characters or if the graphic files had dpi more than 300. Now graphics remain in the RTF file as expected. 5. 'Save as RTF' command used to introduce some junk characters in Japanese version of Frame- Maker. This has been fixed now. 6. FrameMaker used to crash during 'Save As RTF' command if the header/footer of the Frame- Maker file contains a variable whose variable data has certain type of Japanese characters. This has been fixed now. 7. FrameMaker 10 used to crash on performing spell-check on files having unicode quotation marks i.e. U+2018, U+2019, U+201C, U+201D in user dictionary. This has been now fixed. 8. FrameMaker's performance when dictionary language is changed frequently with Auto Spell Check set to on has been improved. 9. Earlier fonts that contain CJK character sets were not showing correct hyphenation for certain words. This has been fixed now. 10. FrameMaker 10 used to crash on using Ctrl+F4 to close Book files. This has been fixed. 11. FrameMaker was unable to save book, containing files with SVG reference, to XML. This has been fixed now. 12. Some ExtendScript API's in FrameMaker had memory leaks. This has been fixed now. 13. ExtendScript's "ObjectValid()" function returned false for each table when we get a list of tables using GetText(). This has been fixed now. 14. ExtendScript sample "BookMIFWash" had some errors. This has been fixed now. 15. Extend Script: Structure objects that contains members of type string Extend Script: Structure objects that contains members of type string (Attribute, TextItem etc.) were not returning the value of these members correctly on querying if the value contains Unicode content. This has been fixed now. 16. Whitespaces were not removed correctly in case of inline conrefs. This has been fixed now. 17. UNICODETEXT renamed to UNICODE TEXT in ClipboardFormatsPriorities in maker.ini to make it consistent with previous FrameMaker versions. 18. Cross references between different topicrefs of a ditamap were not working in the final PDF if that PDF is produced from the book generated from ditamap. Now cross references work fine. 19. While publishing ditamap to Book, converting child ditamap to child book has been made configurable. Child ditamaps now can be published as one compound document or as Child Book. Parameter "GenerateFlatBook" under the section "OutputGeneration" can be set to 1 in ditafm.ini for compound doc generation from child ditamaps. Default value is 0. When working via API, another save parameter has been added namely, FS_DitaGenerateFlatBook.: FV_DoUserPreference, FV_DoYes, FV_DoNo. 20. For some of the misspelled words the spellings correction was not showing the correct word as first choice. This has been fixed now. 21. Ditamap title is now honored correctly in pdf/compound doc.

Frame 10 crashes when saving a book
FrameMaker 10.0.1.402, Windows XP SP3 32-bit, structured I am experiencing frequent crashes when I save a book after updating it. This happens pretty much every time I try to save a book. The books and files I am working with were originally written in FrameMaker 8. I thought that re-creating the book from scratch in Frame 10 might help (it worked for another user I know who had the same problem) but that didn't help. I've been working with track text edits on these books (I hadn't used it in Frame 8), so I accepted all changes and disabled it. That made no difference. Also, I was working with the structured interface on (I am working with unstructured files, but have been experimenting with DITA). I switched to the unstructured interface, but it made no difference. The only thing I've found that works, and it's a temporary solution, is to save the book as Frame 10 MIF, and then reopen it. That allows me to save the book, at least until the next update, when it is likely to crash again. This is getting extremely annoying. Has anyone else experienced this?

LOF order is Figure 3-2, Figure 3-1, Figure 3-3, Figure 3-4...
Dear FMers: I'm working on a book with 17 chapters plus generated TOC, LOF, LOT, and IX, in FM 9 and WINDOWS XP. I have two problems in chapter 3 that must be related: 1. The first figure will not start at 3-1. I must use Para Designer to program with
Scientific names in roman, not italics, in running headers
I haven't had any luck with this one either but I know the answer is out there. This is the ChapterTitle: Field Screening Aid for Bug one In the RunningH/F 1 the scientific name is not italicized, as it should be. I know how to change the entire RunningH/F 1to italics, but not just a portion of it. Is there a way to do it? Thanks again, Pat -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Updating Existing Table Formats
The TableCleaner plugin is a godsend!? My docs consist of table after table
after table and we've changed templates (including margin settings, formats,
etc.) many times.? Without TableCleaner, I'd be hosed.

nested alpha lists and bulleted lists within numbered lists
Hi Joe, There are two ways to do it. First, you could use series letters to distinguish the list types:
