Re: FM11 bug: white text on colored background disappears in CMYK PDF [SOLVED]
Hi group Problem solved! It was not an Fm11 bug, but just an incorrect setting in my color definitions. The color White was set to Don't Print. I changed it to Print as Process and Knock Out and everything looks OK now. Thank you for your reply, Fred. It pointed me in the right direction. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

FM 10 list of pods becomes detached
Hi, all. I'm using FM 10 on a Win 7 system. On the right side of my workspace, the list of pods has become detached. I can physically move it outside the FM window altogether, which can be quite helpful, but I'd like to reattach it now. It's persisted through opening and closing Frame and even rebooting the computer. I can't figure out how to reattach it. There's got to be something on the View menu or Preferences . . . what is it?

Re: FM 10 list of pods becomes detached
Grab the pod and start moving it SLOWLY toward the edge of the frame for the FrameMaker application. When you see a faint blue line between it and the frame, stop. It's docked. Took me FOREVER to pick up that one, and it's hard because that line is very slender and if you move too fast you'll miss it.

Read-Write rules for table cell rotation
Hello All
FM 11.0.1 structured, using DITA 1.2.
I'm hoping some read-write rules guru will be able point me in the right
direction...
We have some tables in which occasional cell contents are rotated. To do
this manually, we select the text and go to the Graphics menu. But since
we are using DITA XML, I'd like to save the rotation property to the XML
and have FM apply it again when the XML file is reopened. Clearly a job
for read-write rules.
So after a thorough study of the Structured Application Developer's
Guide and the corresponding Reference, as well as the FM11 help, etc., I
have attempted with the following:
element entry {
is fm table cell element;
attribute outputclass {
is fm property rotate;
value rotate is fm value 270;
}
}
When I set @outputclass to rotate and save as XML, the attribute value
is not written. If I edit the XML in a text editor and then open in FM,
the @outputclass is set to no value. So clearly nothing is happening
using @outputclass and/or my rule.
The Developer Reference gives tantalizing information such as
FrameMaker extends the possible values to allow rotations of 0, 90,
80, and 270 degrees. I've tried a whole lot of alternative rules and
values, but nothing seems to do anything (except generate an error, that
is).
Do I need to use or define a different attribute than @outputclass? Or
is there some other secret syntax that eludes me? Or does it just not work?
Thanks for your help..

FM 7 and CS6 Illustrator art
Does anyone know of any issues importing CS6 Illustrator art into FM 7? We're still using FM 7 (obviously) and one of our vendors is planning on upgrading to CS6. Will they need to back save to a previous version? I vaguely recall hearing about art import issues, but maybe that was with earlier versions of FM.

Re: Read-Write rules for table cell rotation
Hi Roger...
Interesting. I've not played with this to see how (or if) this can be
done through the rules file. Did you try this (without the value.. line) ..
element entry {
is fm table cell element;
attribute outputclass {
is fm property rotate;
}
}
I'd think that if @outputclass was set to 0, 90, 180, or 270 .. this
might rotate the cell. I know this isn't really a workable solution, but
would be interesting to see if it works. I think the idea is that you'd
have an attribute called rotation (or whatever) that you'd set to the
desired value .. also not really feasible with DITA since you can't
really add attributes.
DITA-FMx supports rotated cells by adding a data element to the entry
and stores the rotation value in there, then sets the cell rotation when
you open the file (via FDK coding).
Do let me know if you get this working via the rules file.
Cheers,
...scott

best web help add-on for FrameMaker 10?
We've encountered JavaScript bugs in Internet Explorer 8 that break the TOC and search in RoboHelp 9's WebHelp output. We could fix that by upgrading to TCS 4, but that would cost $800, so I might as well look at other options for generating web help from unstructured FM. I've got MIF2Go so I'm trying that, but encountering some issues with Firefox. I'll give WebWorks ePublisher a try. http://www.indoition.com/online-help-authoring-tools-survey.htm says it costs $795 a year, does the license actually expire? Last time I tried Flare, the FrameMaker import was quite good but it needed some cleanup so wasn't a replacement for RoboHelp. Anything else out there?
Read-Write rules for table cell rotation
Hi Scott
Thanks for your reply. After more research and reading, plus some trial
and error, I came up with the same rule that you have below, and it
works. FM knows what to do if you then give the @outputclass attribute a
value of 270. I guess you can also use 90 or 180.
I also tried it using a custom attribute called @rotated, with values of
"yes" or "no". That works too, and it's not difficult to add the
attribute to the DTD. At least, it's not difficult to do it the wrong
way, by modifying the DITA DTD directly rather than using a
customization layer. But since @outputclass works and we don't need it
for anything else, I think I'll go with that.
Thanks again,
Roger
