generate a list of paragraph tag properties?
I need to generate a list of paragraph tag properties used in a document. I know how to generate a list of paragraph tags, but is there also a way to make FrameMaker generate a description of the properties used in each paragraph tag? I recall such a feature in PageMaker and Quark but can't seem to find it in FrameMaker ... best regards Bjørn ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: hotkey bug in FrameMaker 10
Hi Clint, Yes you are right. Matt in the TCS-Group was the first person to suggest this to me. I guess I never saw this behavior before because my focus is usually in the document itself.

RE: hotkey bug in FrameMaker 10
Hi, This seems to be an as designed behavior of FrameMaker hotkeys. When you open a dialog by using a CTRL shortcut, the focus shifts from the document to the dialog. In this state, no other dialog can be invoked by a shortcut as the focus needs to be on the document for a shortcut to work. What you can try is after bringing up the paragraph designer [CTRL + m], use [SHIFT + F7] and then use [CTRL+ d]. This should open both the pods. Hope this helps.

RE: generate a list of paragraph tag properties?
Bjørn, Do you have Framescript? In the version we have (5.2), there is a sample script that does this. It's called DisplayFormats.fsl. Years ago, there was something called MIFMuncher that parsed MIF files and output paratag info. By years ago, I mean like the Win98 era. pause... Amazingly, you can still download this utility from http://www.stc-carolina.org/MIF+Muncher. If you don't have Framescript, it's worth a try.

Re: generate a list of paragraph tag properties?
The FormatList plugin from Squidds is great for this, but not cheap (49 Euro). It creates a table, with one row for each paragraph format and cells in the row for nearly all of the properties of each paragraph format. It's very handy, since it makes it easy to scan down a column to see, for example, the one paragraph format that has a typeface different than all the rest. It also creates tables for character formats, variables, and cross-references: http://www.squidds.de/fileadmin/daten/finalyser/PDF/Pricelist_Orderform_FINALYSER_US_only_Nov2011_Squid_RZ_verteilt.pdf I like FormatList a lot, but the Squidds site is hard to navigate, payment is difficult (no shopping cart), the price is a bit high, it's only one license (so no second copy on your laptop for travel) and there are no free upgrades when the FM version changes. And there's a bit of a language barrier, since the site is hosted by people who speak German natively. But FormatList is easier to use than the similar feature in Silicon Prairie's Paragraph Tools and Character Tools (which I would buy anyway for all the other great things they do). Those tools create a separate table for each paragraph style, so the result doesn't make it easy to compare all the styles in a document to see if, for example, the same serif typefaces are used throughout. I do wish the FormatList plugin also made a table of table formats! On 11/22/2011 5:09 AM, Studio Smalbro wrote: I need to generate a list of paragraph tag properties used in a document.

Training for FrameMaker 10 and S1000D
To anyone offering FrameMaker training: S1000D is a documentation standard that was developed in Europe for military use, but is now being widely adopted by Aerospace companies around the world. Theoretically, it's a framework to create any kind of documentation, from paper parts lists to maintenance procedures with 3D graphics on your iPhone, all from information modules stored in a central database. It's a nice vision of the future, but getting from here to there is the big (expensive) problem. FrameMaker 10 seems to have quite a lot of S1000D support built in, such as the means to interact with a common source database and the ability to validate data modules against business rules, etc., but we are having trouble making any practical use of it. Is anyone offering a course yet on using FrameMaker to support an S1000D implementation? We have been to some free seminars and watched plenty of Webinars, but they were mostly sales pitches on the benefits of the standard without any practical value. We need to move ahead with a real solution, because we have customers that are starting to request documentation that meets the new standard. I would love to hear from any of you trainers about what resources you have available. We would really like to keep using FrameMaker as the basis for our documentation, rather than start with something completely new. It would be a big plus if the training was available in the Seattle area.

Re: Training for FrameMaker 10 and S1000D
You might want to contact Front Runner in Toronto (http://www.front-runner.com/). I don't see course for that on their Web site, but they might be able to help you in some way.

Re: Training for FrameMaker 10 and S1000D
We've looked at providing S1000D training and support, but haven't been clear on the business case for entering this market. The blocking factors for small training companies appear to be (from my perspective): - Organizations that deploy S1000D are usually very large. They have their own particular purchasing infrastructure, with their own (also typically large) preferred vendors. - The Defense community (where S1000D prevails) is close-nit. Again, the players prefer their own set of vendors, and its relatively difficult to enter this community of players from the outside (without having prior experience and connections in Defense). - Working with the Defense community presents formidable and costly roadblocks (like required security clearances). If my experience does not ring true with others (practitioners or vendors) I'd love to hear from you. Mekon in the UK has extensive experience with S1000D and FrameMaker. I'm not aware of this combination of experience in North America. You might look for S1000D training from one of the North America-based companies in this space (Inmedius, O'Neill and Associates, Hebco come to mind in the U.S.), and hire a trainer/consultant to customize the FrameMaker 10 S1000D support to meet your particular workflow and business requirements. -Alan --- Alan Houser Group Wellesley, Inc.

RE: generate a list of paragraph tag properties?
Hi Bjørn, I recommend the Report module from the [i]-frame Extended Pack. http://www.i-frame.itl.info/en/feature-description/i-frame-modules/extended-pack/report-paragraph-and-char-formats.html As far as I know the single modules can also be bought separtely.

I need to generate a list of paragraph tag properties used in a document.
