Framemaker 10/Ditamap odd behavior
Hello, I have a ditamap that, when I do a simple save, Framemaker wants to save it as a .fm file. My other ditamaps don't do this. Something I've noticed is that this particular ditamap has a file size of about 1.2 mb, where the others are all around 25k. Any idea what could be happening here? Thank you.

Framemaker 10 crashes when changing conditional text display setting
Hi everyone We're getting Framemaker 10 crashes when changing conditional text display settings on some files (3 so far out of several hundred). It crashes, for example, when we toggle between build expressions and/or Show As Per Condition settings. Depending on file and display settings, it crashes after anything between 1 and 40ish display actions. 40 we could live with; 1 or 2 makes the files unusable. The error message is Internal error 10014, 5988022, 5988444, 4795055. Sometimes we have to forcefully close FM after this. Other times, FM closes itself and we get another dialog box: The instruction at 0x033e76e0 referenced memory at 0x0d9af94b. The memory could not be read. Or sometimes, 'the memory could not be written'. And once, it was the exception Privileged instruction. (0xc096) occurred in the application at location 0x0c76e57a. The hex values vary from PC to PC but the actions to cause each crash don't. The files have multi-page tables with conditional text in the tables. They were created in Frame 7.0 and upgraded straight to 10.0.0. We're using conditional text with 11 conditions and 8 boolean expressions. I've trawled the forum and frameusers list, and tried: * 5 different machines - they all see the issue. * washing through MIF - the MIF files crash FM too. * working locally instead of across the network - no difference. * showing all conditions and then looking in the Mif files for any text in a flow called Hidden. There wasn't any. * saving after every change of conditional text display setting. This sometimes works but it's a pain! * removing all the paragraph overrides in the file. This worked for 1 out of 3 files. * removing the tables and/or removing conditional text from them. This worked for 2 out of 3 files, and improved the 3rd, but I don't think it's a feasible fix. We're all running FM 10.0.1.402 on Win XP Pro SP3, 32 bit machines. The amount of RAM varies, but some PCs have 4 Gig. We've all installed the MS hotfix for the text dropout issue. Files are unstructured. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Any ideas of anything else we can try? Any ideas of a cause?? Many thanks, Rebecca PS X-posting this to the Adobe Frame forum.

Re: Framemaker 10/Ditamap odd behavior
Hi Steve... It sounds like this file *is* an FM file. Try forcing a save to XML (with a .ditamap extension) overwriting itself and you should be OK. this happens when FM crashes and you say OK to the prompt to open the recover file. ...scott Sent from my phone.

Translating English to Portuguese
2011-11-09-03T18:15Z FrameMaker 9.0p255 Mif2Go 33U43 (with FrameMaker 8.n) I've addressed this to three e-mail lists, so my apologies to all who receive it more than once. Will you please help identify the considerations of translating a manual and then producing on-station help from the translated files? In on-station help for FrameMaker 9.0p255, I found verbiage to the effect that FrameMaker 8.0 has Dictionary and hyphenation support . . . for Portuguese. Given: 1. Source files are to be in English in FrameMaker 9.0p255. 2. Source files are to be translated from English to Portuguese. 3. From translated source files, we will need to produce either a. HTML help (.htm) without context sensitivity or b. Compiled HTML help (.chm) with context sensitivity The source files are in FrameMaker 7.n, and we are confident that we can open and save the source files through 8.n and into 9.n. ¡Thanks!

Re: question on DITA - FMx
Hi Linda We have a lot of experience with DITA-FMx and we like it a lot. Yes, it works with structured Framemaker because you use it to author and publish DITA-structured content in XML. This is a list of the advantages which DITA-FMx offers compared to the DITA support in various versions of FrameMaker: http://leximation.com/dita-fmx/featurecomparison.php You can also find some movies of DITA-FMx on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dita-fmxaq=f Kind regards Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 8:49 PM, Linda Rose l...@qad.com wrote: Hi, Does anyone have any experience with the DITA - FMx tools from Leximation?

Hyperlink from Frame to Folder in Network
I thought this would be a simple thing to do but... I currently have a Frame created pdf document that I need to link over the network to another Frame created pdf. I am using the following to create the link, openlink X:\filename.pdf and it works every time from wherever my first frame/pdf document is located to the second frame/pdf document. My problem comes when I try and write to a folder beyond the root of any directory. When I write openlink X:\foldername\filename.pdf the second backslash changes to some other character when I select edit hypertext and when the pdf file is generated, the link is not functional. What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? Any help down this path would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Framemaker 10 crashes when changing conditional text display setting
Hi Roman That's interesting. I did manually save the file as MIF. Did you try/find anything else? Anything that your sick files had in common? We're speculating it's FM's pagination engine getting upset with CT causing repeated major changes to pagination. But that's pure speculation!

It crashes, for example, when we toggle between build expressions and/or Show As Per Condition settings. Depending on file and display settings, it crashes after anything between 1 and 40ish display actions. 40 we could live with; 1 or 2 makes the files unusable. The error message is Internal error 10014, 5988022, 5988444, 4795055. Sometimes we have to forcefully close FM after this. Other times, FM closes itself and we get another dialog box: The instruction at 0x033e76e0 referenced memory at 0x0d9af94b. The memory could not be read. Or sometimes, 'the memory could not be written'. And once, it was the exception Privileged instruction. (0xc096) occurred in the application at location 0x0c76e57a. The hex values vary from PC to PC but the actions to cause each crash don't. The files have multi-page tables with conditional text in the tables. They were created in Frame 7.0 and upgraded straight to 10.0.0. We're using conditional text with 11 conditions and 8 boolean expressions. I've trawled the forum and frameusers list, and tried: * 5 different machines - they all see the issue. * washing through MIF - the MIF files crash FM too. * working locally instead of across the network - no difference. * showing all conditions and then looking in the Mif files for any text in a flow called Hidden. There wasn't any. * saving after every change of conditional text display setting. This sometimes works but it's a pain! * removing all the paragraph overrides in the file. This worked for 1 out of 3 files. * removing the tables and/or removing conditional text from them. This worked for 2 out of 3 files, and improved the 3rd, but I don't think it's a feasible fix. We're all running FM 10.0.1.402 on Win XP Pro SP3, 32 bit machines. The amount of RAM varies, but some PCs have 4 Gig. We've all installed the MS hotfix for the text dropout issue. Files are unstructured. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Any ideas of anything else we can try? Any ideas of a cause?? Many thanks, Rebecca PS X-posting this to the Adobe Frame forum.

FrameMaker10 Graphics Problems and Strange Object Grouping Behavior
Hello, Our technical publications team recently upgraded from Frame 7 to Frame 10 (Version 10.0.1.408) included with the Technical Communication Suite on Windows 7. Unfortunately, we are seeing a lot of crashes when we work on graphics using Frame's drawing tools or when importing snapshots. We've tried MIF washing all of our files, but we are still seeing frequent crashes when working with graphics. One specific problem that we are seeing is that Frame is having a hard time grouping all objects in our often complex block diagrams. I have tried selecting all of the boxes, lines, and text lines in a figure in order to group them all, only to have one or more elements, which I thought I had selected, remain ungrouped. Does anyone have any guidelines on grouping to prevent this type of problem? Or is this just a Frame bug that we have to live with until Adobe comes out with a patch? Also, does anyone know if Adobe is working on improving how Frame handles graphics so that it doesn't crash so frequently? I assume that Frame 10 is sending error reports to Adobe when these crashes occur, but I can't seem to locate any information on this problem on Adobe's support site. We're seriously considering going to an outside drawing tool like Visio because Frame no longer seems like it can handle complex block diagrams. And in the past we really like the Frame drawing tools because they were easy to use, helped keep our file sizes smaller since we weren't importing a lot of graphics, and looked sharper in our online production than imported gifs or jpgs. Any suggestions on managing graphics or using the drawing tools in Frame10 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help. *** Todd Bersley Technical Writer STD Applications Documentation Teradyne, Inc.

Re: Hyperlink from Frame to Folder in Network
Gary, Just use forward slashes in pathnames. FrameMaker reserves certain letters in combination with a backslash for special characters. I seem to remember that \f is used for the florin character (a cursive f). - Michael Am 10.11.2011 um 01:09 schrieb Gary Bankston gbanks6...@gmail.com: I thought this would be a simple thing to do but...
