Re: [Framers] OT: Webinar: I am looking for a solution

[David Creamer]

I would have a look at EmSoftware's DocsFlow plugin for InDesign.
It lets you import to Google docs and spreadsheet, creating a one-way or
two-way link.
Formatting is maintained in InDesign even if document is updated by author.
http://emsoftware.com/products/docsflow/

The make a similar product for Word and Excel too.

Hello Framers,

I have been looking for a good content management solution for one of my
clients. The client has a series of medical professionals that contribute
content for an annual publication. Currently, each contributor submits their
content in a Word document, which is then cleaned up, "structured" and
imported into InDesign for publication. I am looking for a system where the
authors can enter their content in a browser so that I can receive and
process structured content, bypassing Word and the need to manually
structure the content.

Rather than show individual vendors what I need, I am hosting a webinar to
show my current process and solicit ideas and proposals for a new solution.
If you think you may have a solution for me, please attend my webinar on
Thursday, December 8, 2016, at 11:00 am Eastern Standard Time (US). It
should only take 20-30 minutes to show you my process.

Below is the meeting information. You can simply log in to attend, but I
would appreciate a reply ahead of time. Thank you very much.

Re: [Framers] Replace URLs

[Peter Gold]

Just an FYI for any newbies in the FrameMaker user community:

The contributions of both Chris Despopoulos and Rick Quatro go far back in
FM history. They've saved users untold hours of time and sanity.

My 2-cent ovation.

Re: [Framers] Using FM to edit MIF code

[Rick Quatro]

1. Open FrameMaker document. 

2. Save the document as MIF (File > Save As).

3. Close the FrameMaker document.

4. Choose File > Open and navigate to the .MIF file you saved in step 2.

5. Press and hold the shift key when you click the Open button. You should
see the Reading Text File dialog box.

6. Click Read to open the file as text.

After you do any edits in FrameMaker, make sure when you save the file you
save it as plain text. Then you can reopen the document and allow FrameMaker
to open it as a normal binary file.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Re: [Framers] OT: Webinar: I am looking for a solution

[Robert Lauriston]

I'm skeptical about persuading non-technical Word users to write in
DITA and having them do a good job of it. Oxygen hides the code a bit
but it's still pretty geeky.

Rick just says "XML" but hasn't specified which flavor. And is there a budget?

Re: [Framers] Replace URLs

[Penelope Perkins]

John,

An alternative to scripting for changing marker text is Cudspan's MarkerWorker. 
On Chris Despopoulos's website, this plugin is listed under FM 9, but I still 
use it in FM 12 and have not seen any problems. You simply unload the marker 
text into a document, do a search and replace, then reload it back into the 
markers. I generally use it on a file, but it runs on a book, too. See 
http://cudspan.net/plugins/. 

Regards,
Penelope

Hi John,

You can use FrameMaker's built-in Find/Change feature to change the URLs in the

FrameMaker versions 10 and higher include ExtendScript built in. If you are 
interested in pursuing a scripting solution, please let me know. Thank you very

thousands of URL to files and folders on multiple SP sites that are going to be 
consolidated to one SP site, hence, breaking every one of my links.

This means I need to change the root part of thousands of URLs from one address

What are my options?

Re: [Framers] OT: Webinar: I am looking for a solution

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Rick

I like oXygen XML Web Author a lot. You can test it online here:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_web_author.html

I'm seeing the following configuration:

   - Technical writers use FrameMaker + DITA-FMx or the desktop version of
   oXygen XML Author
   - Content contributors (subject matter experts) use oXygen XML Web Author
   - The content can be managed in Git or a DITA-aware content management
   system like DITAToo, Bluestream XDocs, Componize etc.
   - To publish to PDF, you can use FrameMaker + DITA-FMx (see also
   http://leximation.com/dita-fmx/featurecomparison.php).

The content contributors could also use Simply XML DITA Edition, but Simply
XML does not support the complete DITA standard and all of DITA's reuse
features. But then again, your customer may not have a need for full DITA
support.

I'd love to watch your Solution Search Webinar, but I'm not available this
afternoon.

Kind regards


Yves
