Re: [Framers] Simple grammar question
It's really a style issue rather than a matter of grammar. And most recent style guides have trended toward downstyling anything that is not a true proper noun. -FR From: Framers on behalf of Doug Sent: Thursday, June 6, 2019 1:48 PM To: Framers Subject: [Framers] Simple grammar question Should the word "position" be capitalized when it is used as a label in a sentence?

[Framers] FW: Simple grammar question
This one I struggle with too. However, since we follow the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) I found a helpful guideline. In CMS Seventeenth Edition on pp. 534-535, 8.180, it basically states that words chapter, part, appendix, table, figure, etc. are lowercased and spelled out in text.

Re: [Framers] FM2019: Stopping the Save As PDF Process
Everytime this has happened to me, I found that my PDF settings in Print Setup had changed (without me doing it) to the High Quality Print option. If I changed it back to a joboptions like Standard, it worked. I don't know WHY High Quality Print seems to make Frame lock up, and I don't know why the Print Setup keeps changing from what I have previously set it to use, either. It's really annoying. Adobe did put back the Save As PDF option, and it's what I use on a regular basis along with a job options file from a previous employer because it always works, and I've never actually spent time to learn what the different settings are and what it means to change them.
