FrameMaker: Is any version URL-aware?
Greetings, I work in FM 8. If I were to identify one feature that I wish for in this software, it would be URL-awareness. Is any of the later FrameMaker versions URL-aware? (By this, I mean that it recognizes http://, https://, mailto://, www.abc.com, and the like, finds the beginning and end, and automagically applies a specified character tag-or something similar to that.

Re: TIME URGENT ... Missing Adobe PDF printer driver
Installing Acrobat after FrameMaker can sometimes break FrameMaker's Save as PDF, and the fix is to repair or reinstall FM. Another workaround is to print to file and then use Acrobat to turn the resulting .ps file into a PDF.

FM 8: Autonumbers not auto-ing
You are using paragraph numbering for your chapter and appendix numbers, and apparently have the numbering properties for the files set up to reset in each chapter. This is what is you normally want/need to do for things like section/subsection numbers and for table titles and figure captions that use chapter-item numbering. But it is *not* what you want for chapter numbering. This is exactly why FrameMaker introduced the $chapnum (and companion $volnum) system variables in FM6. The reset behavior of these user variables is set completely independently from the paragraph numbering so that the chapters can continue to increment across all files in a book while the section/table/figure numbering resets to 1 in each chapter. To use these system variables, just use the <$chapnum> building block in the autonumber format for both of your paragraph tags (H1 Chapter and HA Appendix) in all files, and then set the *Chapter* tab of the Numbering properties sheet for each file *from the book file* as follows: First chapter set to Reset numbering and format set to Arabic numbering All other chapter files set to "Continue from previous file in book" and format set to Arabic numberingFirst appendix set to Reset numbering and format set to upper-case alphabeticAll other appendixes set to "Continue from previous file in book" and format set to upper-case alphabeticNote that this *must* be done from the book file, because the "Continue from precious file in book" option is not available for any individual file because it has no meaning for an isolated file, and that the "Chapter" tab of the numbering properties affects only the $chapnum system variable. Or, if it is actually the case that the *only* items that use autonumbering are your chapter and appendix titles, you can leave the paragraph autonumbering formats as they are and just set up the *Paragraph* tab of the Numbering properties sheet as outlined above for the Chapter tab (which now has no effect since you are not using the $chapnum variable). But note that if you take this approach and need to use some other chapter-level autonumbering, you will have to manually control the resetting of those numbering series in the autonumbering formats. -Fred Ridder From: techs...@vibrantlivingministries.org To: Framers at Lists.FrameUsers.com Subject: FM 8: Autonumbers not auto-ing Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2013 23:33:20 -0700 Greetings, I have a paratag H1 Chapter with autonumber format ?S:Chapter ? and a corresponding paratag HA Appendix with autonumber format ?S:Appendix for appendices (without the quotation marks, of course). :) When I place several chapters and appendices, each of which begins with this paratag, in a book and generate, the numbers don?t update.
