Wordcount at Book level rather than FIle level
Hi there, I am using: Windows 7 64 bit and Framemaker 10.0.1.408 I am writing a book. I have a Framemaker 'book' file and in it I have 25 or so chapters which are each separate files. My need is to put a word count somewhere at the beginning of the book that is a count of all words in the book. I note that there is a word count feature per file which I can use but it is boring doing this all the time on each file and then adding them up. I am new to scripting in FM and though I see one or two scripts that say they do what I want to they either cost money or are made fro earlier versions and do not appear (to me anyway) to give any result when I run them from File/Scripts. Can anyone assist? Great forum by the way. I have learned heaps just reading the flow of emails coming in for all sorts of strange and wonderful purposes J Regards, Rod Fee ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: Wordcount at Book level rather than FIle level
Hi Rod, Do you have any ideas how you would want to implement this in your book? For example, would you want a FrameMaker variable that would contain the current word count? This may be the best way to go because it would give you the flexibility to use the word count anywhere you need it. I could write an ExtendScript script that would do essentially do work like this: 1) You would run a command called Update Word Count. You could run it on the active book or active document. If you ran it on a book, it would count all of the words in the book; if you ran it on a document, it would count all the words in the current document. 2) The script would use a regular expression to count all of the words in the document. The count would put into a WordCount variable in the each of the book's components. Of course, you wouldn't have to use the variable in all (or any) of the components; you would only insert the WordCount variable where you need it. I could write a script like this for you for $240. It would be written with ExtendScript and the script would be fully commented. This will also serve as a learning tool and give you a head start on writing your own scripts. I am not able to write it for free because I of other scripting jobs that I have. If you decide to try it yourself, there is a FrameMaker ExtendScript forum on the Adobe Forums site. See http://forums.adobe.com/community/framemaker/extendscript Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Re: snapshot of table in FM for use as image in EPUB ebooks
I think a screen capture is acceptable for this, but if you want to do a really nice job you could figure out a way to convert it to a vector graphic, such as SVG. (You need to find out what vector formats Webworks works with.) One way to do this would be to print the table as a PDF, open it in CorelDraw (10 or later) and save as SVG.

Good place for a warning dialog!
Frame 9, Windows XP SP3. First I use the Find/Change dialog to go looking for any cross reference. Then, a little later, I hit ctrl+f to find some text, type the text, and hit return, all without looking at the Find/Change dialog. But the Find/Change dialog maintained "Any cross reference" in the Find field, my typing did nothing, and the "Change All" button is active. So hitting Enter is telling Frame that I want to find all cross references and replace them with nothing. I get the dialog saying "made 93 changes," to my horror, but it would have been nice to get a dialog saying, "Dude, you're about to delete all of your cross references, are you sure?" (Of course I undid, and I also realize there's the revert to saved command.) Is there someplace I can turn such warnings on?
