To elaborate a little on what Steve said: You don't make a hypertext link from a phrase. You insert a hypertext marker at a specific text location (if you have a text range selected, IIRC, the marker is inserted at the beginning of the range).

It's been this way since probably FM 3 or so. In general, you probably want your readers to _recognize_ a link, right? So you should apply a char tag that formats the text you want to use as the hotspot -- typically either blue or blue underlined. Best practice, IMO: Select the hotspot text and apply your Link (or whatever you call it) char tag. (The selected text remains selected.) Then go to Special Hypertext and create the hypertext marker. By separating the creation of the hypertext command (the marker) from the designation of the hotspot to which it applies, FM gives you greater control. If later, you decide to extend (or shrink, or rephrase) the hotspot text, you can do so without messing with the hypertext marker. HTH! Richard G.

RE: Trouble with hypertext link
Richard beat me to the punch with his excellent elaboration on the way Hypertext links are designed to work. But I would like to add some further elaboration on two fairly minor points. First, the determination of the beginning and end of the active area for a hyperlink (the hot spot) is entorely done by FrameMaker. This information is part of what is contained in the Acrobat data (as in the Generate Acrobat data option in the FrameMaker Print dialog) that FrameMaker passes to Acrobat. Second, it is not necessary for the character tag that is used to delimit the hyperlink hot spot to actually change the format;.the tag itself is enough. In other words, you can define a character tag that sets all the formatting to As Is and it will still work for hyperlinks. But as Richard notes, it is usually desirable to signal to the reader that hyperlinks actually exists at specified points in the text. -Fred Ridder From: richard.co...@polycom.com To: tp...@telecomsys.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2011 00:30:42 -0700 Subject: RE: Trouble with hypertext link Tim Pann wrote: Is anyone a good resource to help me understand the rather odd manner that Frame 9 does hypertext links?

Xref marker following Text inset
Dear Framers, I am using unstructured FM 9 on 64-bit Windows 7. Here is my problem: I have a number of text insets, in a file, for which the character immediately following the inset is a X-ref marker. When updating the text inset, the marker disappears, leading to an unresolved X-ref problem afterwards. How would you manage that? I tried cutting the marker to paste it elsewhere (for example one character to the right) in my reference, but I cannot even select it, the whole text inset is highlighted then.

Xref marker following Text inset
Short answer: don't do that. A text inset ends after, I think, the paragraph marker following it. What you can do is create a paragraph tag that uses a default font of a tiny size, like 6 pt, no space before or after, and put that immediately after your text inset. The text inset anchors itself to that tag and away you go. Someone else might know a better way to do it.

Creating hyperlink to PDF
All ~ Searching my local Framers archives for a solution to my problem, I came up with this thread. I've been using the "message openfile hypertext marker for years with complete success. When I convert my doc to a pdf, the linkage worked just fine. But not in Windows 7 as far as I can determine. When I take exactly the same file, with exactly the same TCS2 newly installed in Win7, all those links are gone in my pdf distillation of the file. I've reinstalled Acrobat and updated it from itself without success.

A generic link to an external PDF can be created using the built-in FM hypertext marker: message openfile path/filename.pdf The target PDF will open at the default opening page; "new window" or "same window" applied according to the local Acrobat/Reader preference.

Xref marker following Text inset
Another way to isolate adjacent markers without changing the text is to put the cursor at the back of the second of the two markers. Then hit shift-left arrow to move the cursor one character back (same process you might use to extend the range of highlighted text, one character at a time). Of course you can start from the other side of the adjacent markers and use shift-right arrow. ~ Bill -Original Message- From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Combs, Richard Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 10:03 AM To: mathieu jacquet; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Xref marker following Text inset mathieu jacquet wrote: > Here is my problem: I have a number of text insets, in a file, for > which the character immediately following the inset is a X-ref marker. > > When updating the text inset, the marker disappears, leading to an > unresolved X-ref problem afterwards. > > How would you manage that?

Can't see marker symbols in FrameMaker 10
Hi all, I just upgraded from FrameMaker 7.2 to 10. Now, when I insert a marker or table, I can't see the "T" marker symbol in the document. This is in an unstructured document, and I've got View Text Symbols selected. I can recreate it by creating a new blank document and entering a marker, so it's not document-related. Opening the Markers pod or searching on a marker shows that the markers are indeed in the document. Also - and this is strange - it does not work on my machine, which is 64-bit running Windows 7, but works fine on a 32-bit XP machine. I've also got the 10.0.1 update. Anyone else see this?
