FM10 (Win7 64-bit)

I'm lost on this one: I want to import/copy a single paragraph style

How do I do this?

Not a stupid question at all. In addition to Fred and other's responses, if you 
want to import a single (or multiple) style across a whole book or books, try 
this:

. Copy the document that contains the style you want to propagate. This will be 
your 'seed' document for the new/revised style.

. Open the copy and delete all the styles except the one of interest ('Delete' 
from the relevant palette).

. Import across the book(s) from that document, choosing character, paragraph 
or table format import as appropriate (File  Import  Formats).

. Discard the copied document that acted as the 'seed' for the new style 
definition.

If the style doesn't already exist in the book(s), it will be added to the 
relevant catalog for each document in the book. If the style does exist in the 
book(s), the imported style will overwrite the existing style of the same name.

Obviously you can do this as well for multiple styles.

If you find yourself doing this a lot, SiliconPrairie's very reasonably priced 
plug-ins (Character Tools, PAragraph Tools and Table Tools) offer a command to 
delete all styles of the relevant type that are not used in a document.

[These instructions are for pre-FrameMaker v 9 versions: I'm not sufficiently 
familiar with the new interface to know where you go to delete styles in v 10, 
but it'll be somewhere.]

Hi,

do you know Book Transfer since FrameMaker 5.x?
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAw15_0UIqQ 
... there is archiving in FM- or MIF-Format, with or without images.
You can decide for one directory or multiple directories for text
insets, images and chapters ...

Today Book Transfer is part of the very successful package FINALYSER
(www.finalyser.com)
with Plug-ins and ExtendScripts for more as 27 features - a very
efficiently collection in one package.

Or you can:

1.   Right-click in any paragraph with the desired format in the source 
file and select Copy Special  Copy Paragraph Format.

2.   Go to the target file and select the paragraph you want to apply the 
format to.

3.   Right-click and select Paste (or just CTRL-V without right-clicking).

4.   With your cursor still in the paragraph, open the Paragraph Designer.

5.   Click Apply, which causes the New Format dialog to appear.

6.   Click Create to store the format in the paragraph catalog and reapply 
it to the selection.  (You can deselect the Apply to Selection checkbox before 
clicking Create if you want to.)

The same steps work for copying character formats, except:

2. Go to the target file and select the word or words you want to apply the 
format to.
4. With your cursor still in the word, open the Character Designer.
6. [of course you're storing the format in the character catalog]

I am sorry that you took my posting as an insult or some kind of personal

Dear Fred,
 
Thanks for attempting to make me look like an idiot. J
 
I appreciate that you think your way is the only way to accomplish the task, 
but then, your step 3 mentions the Character Designer, which has nothing to do 
with the original task. My feeling is that copying a paragraph that you only

Be careful with Step 6 (that's step 6 in the first procedure, the one with 
consecutive step numbers). As written, what you are doing is redefining an 
existing paragraph tag (the one that was applied to the current paragraph) to 
have the imported formatting characteristics. What I think was desired was to 
import a paragraph format along with its own tag name, and the easiest way to 
do that (and avoiding the possibilitiy of mistyping the name in the paragraph 
Designer) is to copy and paste a paragraph of the desired format, add its 
format to the paragraph catalog, then delete the paragraph. Anything else is 
just overcomplicating the process.

I don't see anything insulting in Fred Ridder's reply, and I also don't
think Fred claimed that his way is the only way to accomplish the task.
But, Fred's way is usually the best way, just check the hundreds of valuable
contributions that Fred has made to this list.

By the way, the insults are in your reply, Dimi, so you should apologize to
Fred instead of he to you.

Re: Importing paragraph formats

[Matt Sullivan]

I like Fred's solution for multiple para's. For a single para I modify as 
follows:
-place cursor anywhere in the para
-choose Copy Special  Paragraph Format
-go to your destination document, place the cursor where you'd like the new 
format 
-choose Paste. 
-use Para Designer to add para format to para catalog

 Tim,
 
 Yes. You can do import single paragraph, character, and conditional text 
 formats with a MIF fragment. To do that:
 
 Save the FM file containing the paragraph format you want as a MIF file.
 Use MIF Browse to locate, select and copy the paragraph format. 
 http://www.wideman-one.com/gw/tech/framemaker/mifbrowse.htm
 
 Paste that MIF code in a text editor. In addition to the paragraph format, 
 you'll also need the 
 
 PgfCatalog 
  Pgf 
 
 tags, as well as the 
 
   # end of Pgf
  # end of PgfCatalog 
 ## End of MIFFile
 
 closing tags
 
 In the text file, make sure to include a MIFFILE header is at the top of 
 the page. It should look something like this:
 MIFFile 7.00 # Generated by FrameMaker 7.0p579 You can grab a MIFFILe 
 header from any MIF file and use that.
 Save the MIF fragment, and then open it in FrameMaker. It should appear as 
 a blank page. 
 Import in paragraph formats from the MIF fragment into the Frame document.
 Voila.
 
 If you run into problems, send me the file and I'll make one for you.

 A quick search of list archives back to 2007 doesn’t quite address this.
 Where does one find, for a reasonable license fee, a set of Word macros

 code, for managing (especially cleaning and applying) Word styles, 
 perhaps in the manner of Silicon Prairie Software’s:
 §  Paragraph Tools
 §  Character Tools
 §  Table Tools ?
 We cut our teeth on Frame and love it, but we’re making peace with Word 
 after completing an FAA project earlier this year. Just looking to 
 automate work that’s tedious and content-free so we have more time to 
 focus on the client.
 We’re coming up to speed on QuickBasic after working in a C dialect for 
 years on unrelated work, so a sidestep to VBA won’t kill us. But we’d 
 rather drive a production car than a jalopy if we can pay the sticker

Restore numbering properties for Appendices in large book

[Carol Gosnell]

I have been working on a large User Guide for a software release and
concurrently have been updating the templates to coordinate with RoboHelp. I
didn't think there were any changes that would affect the numbering
properties, but suddenly, when I updated my book, all the appendices are
labeled A. No matter what I specify in the numbering dialog boxes, there is
no change. I have tried importing the Document Properties from an earlier
version where the numbering still is behaving correctly. Now I have two
non-contiguous appendices that show B, but all the rest are still A.

I am using FrameMaker 10 within TCS3. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

RE: Stupid question #843: Importing a SINGLE paragraph style from another FM file?

[Ragnar Hanås]

I´m using the Frame Script SuperImportBundle which does exactly what you ask
for. You can also import single formats as below: 
ImpSelMasterPage (Imports master pages) 
ImpSelRefPage  (Imports reference pages)
* ImpSelPgfFmt (Imports paragraph formats)
* ImpSelCharFmt (Imports character formats)
* ImpSelVarFmt (Imports variable formats)
* ImpSelTblFmt (Imports table formats)
* ImpSelColors (Imports colors)
* ImpSelXRefFmt (Imports cross ref formats)
* ImpSelCondFmt (Imports condition formats)
* ImpSelRulingFmt (Imports ruling formats)
* ImpSelMarkerType (Imports marker types)

See http://framescript.natebus.de/index.php?navi=superimportbundle (in
German, but the script is in English). It is worth every penny if you have
Frame Script.

FM10 (Win7 64-bit)

I'm lost on this one: I want to import/copy a single paragraph style
definition from one FM file to another. Just that one style, no others, and
no content.

How do I do this?

Not a stupid question at all. In addition to Fred and other's responses, if
you want to import a single (or multiple) style across a whole book or
books, try this:

. Copy the document that contains the style you want to propagate. This will
be your 'seed' document for the new/revised style.

. Open the copy and delete all the styles except the one of interest
('Delete' from the relevant palette).

. Import across the book(s) from that document, choosing character,
paragraph or table format import as appropriate (File  Import  Formats).

. Discard the copied document that acted as the 'seed' for the new style
definition.

If the style doesn't already exist in the book(s), it will be added to the
relevant catalog for each document in the book. If the style does exist in
the book(s), the imported style will overwrite the existing style of the
same name.

Obviously you can do this as well for multiple styles.

If you find yourself doing this a lot, SiliconPrairie's very reasonably
priced plug-ins (Character Tools, PAragraph Tools and Table Tools) offer a
command to delete all styles of the relevant type that are not used in a
document.

[These instructions are for pre-FrameMaker v 9 versions: I'm not
sufficiently familiar with the new interface to know where you go to delete
styles in v 10, but it'll be somewhere.]

MstrPg-Use question using RefPg-Table in Structured FrameMaker - 7.2

[Richard Doll]

Framers,

Dell - 490 WorkStation ,
   Mem-4G (3.2 useable),
   Dual Monitors,
   Dual 80G hard Drives w/one 1T Western Digital (for backup)
   DSL for data communications (sure beats USPS, FedEx 'n UPS)
Win OpSys
   XP Pro - Serv Pk 3 Fully patched
FrameMaker
   7.2 - Fully Patched

My tables have a Table columns attribute that (with a Reference-Page 
table) will control a table-specified MasterPage based on column quantity.


My tables have column-quantities from 3-6 and a 2nd group from 10-14.
The 3-6 col. group needs to be on 2-col pages and the 10-14 group on a 1-col 
(full) page
I do have 4-different Masters . . . named . . . 2cRT, 2cLft, 1cRt and 1cLft 
which do quite well when applied manually, a one or a few pages at a time.
The Section pg count varies from 30pp - 250pp with 0-2 images on full-width 
pages and 1-6 images on 2-col pages.
The Section usually begins in full width (mode) and will alternate 1-col to 
2-col three to twelve times per Section.


You can see . . . they can get quite busy and  . . . what I want is . . . 
for the Table-Columns attribute to control pagination MasterPgs upon the 
input of the SGML-data file.


Two questions . .  .
   1. Is this RefPg Element-Attribute TableMasterPg a real, working, 
solution?
   2. Where can I find written instruct's  that offers a great 
instructional view of How it works and How to make it work?
   3. In the columns attribute value is the column-count(TEXTnumber) . . 
. In the RefPg Table - in the attribute value column . . . Can I enter 8 
and cause the 2-col. Master to be used and  . . . enter 8 to cause the 
full/p-1-col Master to be used???

   4. or do I need to spec each col. quantity separately???

Thanks for reading this and double Thanks for answering!

best to all,

dick doll

Ann: Archiv Plug-ins | Book transfer

[Georg Eck]

Hi,

do you know Book Transfer since FrameMaker 5.x?
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAw15_0UIqQ 
... there is archiving in FM- or MIF-Format, with or without images.
You can decide for one directory or multiple directories for text
insets, images and chapters ...

Today Book Transfer is part of the very successful package FINALYSER
(www.finalyser.com)
with Plug-ins and ExtendScripts for more as 27 features - a very
efficiently collection in one package.
In US you save more as 25% in USD.

[Yves Barbion]

I don't see anything insulting in Fred Ridder's reply, and I also don't
think Fred claimed that "his way is the only way to accomplish the task".
But, Fred's way is usually the best way, just check the hundreds of valuable
contributions that Fred has made to this list.

By the way, the insults are in your reply, Dimi, so you should apologize to
Fred instead of he to you.

Bruce Foster Plug-ins

Sadly we have Framemaker 9. And the chances of upgrading to 10 are slim, 
considering it took 10 years to upgrade from 6 :)

It looks like we have missed our chance.

Thanks anyway

Managing Word styles with macros / VBA

[keith.sol...@tmx.com]

I too am in that same boat, spending more time than I'd like on Word 
documents. You may find this blog post helpful - it points ot a 
comprehensive set of macros by Paul Beverley. I don't remember if there 
are any specifically for managing styles, but I'm sure you'll find 
something useful there.

Restore numbering properties for Appendices in large book

[Carol Gosnell]

I have been working on a large User Guide for a software release and
concurrently have been updating the templates to coordinate with RoboHelp. I
didn't think there were any changes that would affect the numbering
properties, but suddenly, when I updated my book, all the appendices are
labeled A. No matter what I specify in the numbering dialog boxes, there is
no change. I have tried importing the Document Properties from an earlier
version where the numbering still is behaving correctly. Now I have two
non-contiguous appendices that show B, but all the rest are still A.

I am using FrameMaker 10 within TCS3. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Stupid question #843: Importing a SINGLE paragraph style from another FM file?

[Ragnar Hanås]

I?m using the Frame Script SuperImportBundle which does exactly what you ask
for. You can also import single formats as below: 
ImpSelMasterPage (Imports master pages) 
ImpSelRefPage  (Imports reference pages)
* ImpSelPgfFmt (Imports paragraph formats)
* ImpSelCharFmt (Imports character formats)
* ImpSelVarFmt (Imports variable formats)
* ImpSelTblFmt (Imports table formats)
* ImpSelColors (Imports colors)
* ImpSelXRefFmt (Imports cross ref formats)
* ImpSelCondFmt (Imports condition formats)
* ImpSelRulingFmt (Imports ruling formats)
* ImpSelMarkerType (Imports marker types)

See http://framescript.natebus.de/index.php?navi=superimportbundle (in
German, but the script is in English). It is worth every penny if you have
Frame Script.

Not a stupid question at all. In addition to Fred and other's responses, if
you want to import a single (or multiple) style across a whole book or
books, try this:

. Copy the document that contains the style you want to propagate. This will
be your 'seed' document for the new/revised style.

. Open the copy and delete all the styles except the one of interest
('Delete' from the relevant palette).

. Import across the book(s) from that document, choosing character,
paragraph or table format import as appropriate (File > Import > Formats).

. Discard the copied document that acted as the 'seed' for the new style
definition.

If the style doesn't already exist in the book(s), it will be added to the
relevant catalog for each document in the book. If the style does exist in
the book(s), the imported style will overwrite the existing style of the
same name.

Obviously you can do this as well for multiple styles.

If you find yourself doing this a lot, SiliconPrairie's very reasonably
priced plug-ins (Character Tools, PAragraph Tools and Table Tools) offer a
command to delete all styles of the relevant type that are not used in a
document.

[These instructions are for pre-FrameMaker v 9 versions: I'm not
sufficiently familiar with the new interface to know where you go to delete
styles in v 10, but it'll be somewhere.]
