Re: [Framers] FM 2017 Columns and Continued Lines

[Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp]

Hi Julie,

you could use a (one column) table for each Part Number and the belonging 
references. Put the Part Number paragraph in the table header (or table title) 
and add the table continued variable. This will be repeated at the top of each 
column where the table breaks.


Vriendelijke groet / Kind regards,

Seems automatable. I suggest you reach out to Rick Quatro. I'm sure he'll
jump in shortly :)

Subject: SPAM -> [Framers] FM 2017 Columns and Continued Lines

I work in Unstructured FrameMaker 2017 and have no background with 
scripting or automating tasks. There may not be a simple solution, but 
figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

I have a file I've imported from Word that contains a Part Number and then 
a list of chapter references for the part. The part number and chapter 
reference each have their own paragraph tag. The page is set up as 3 
columns and whenever the chapter references break over to a new column the 
client wants the part number repeated with (CONT) added.

The file I'm working on is 60 pages long and I have an additional file 
approx same size yet to do. I can set it up manually, but would have to 
redo everytime something is added or deleted to the file.

Is there any automated way of making this happen or is manually the only 
solution?

Thanks/Julie

[Framers] FM 2017 Columns and Continued Lines

I work in Unstructured FrameMaker 2017 and have no background with

figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

I have a file I've imported from Word that contains a Part Number and then

reference each have their own paragraph tag. The page is set up as 3 
columns and whenever the chapter references break over to a new column the 
client wants the part number repeated with (CONT) added.

approx same size yet to do. I can set it up manually, but would have to 
redo everytime something is added or deleted to the file.

Re: [Framers] Save As PDF doesn't work first time

[Jeff Coatsworth]

Tom, make sure that your Win10 version is fully patched up - you may be 
suffering from the build 1803 issue that messed up PDF creation. The patch 
released July 24 seems to have fixed it.

Art,

I am checking the Generate PDF Data checkbox. As for FM17, there have been lots 
of complaints about it on this forum about that version. Rick Quatro suggested 
that I wait for FM19, which is supposed to resolve the problems of previous 
versions and be a fully 64-bit app. Now that FM19 is out, I may wait a little 
before upgrading to give Adobe time to work out initial issues that always seem 
to occur with the birth of a new edition. That, and I will need to convince our 
IT staff that spending a grand on a new revision is worth it. My colleague in 
another division moved from FrameMaker to AuthorIT a few years ago. He loves 
it, because he has lots of reusable chunks of text, which I don't have. And I 
have many more manuals for which I am responsible than he does.

And, even more important to me, at least, is that FM is pretty universal and 
this forum is an incredibly good place to get help from real experts.

Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get forced to move from FM to AIT.

You're checking the Generate PDF Data checkbox when you Print to the Acrobat 
printer?

And you may want to point out to the IT staff that FM12 wasn't designed for 
W10. Definitely consider an upgrade -- you're going to be three revs behind the 
curve shortly. Antique software...
