2-pane Page in WebWorks Standard?
The documentation (such as it is :)) for WebWorks Standard, which comes with FrameMaker 7.0, says it can create a 2-frame page for a multi-doc set where the titles of the docs remain listed in the left pane while the contents display in the right pane. I have not been able to get this to work in this version of WebWorks. Has anyone else? Joanne
RE: Alignment of list numbers
Is it better that the numbers are right-aligned? This seems more of an accounting requirement than a design one. With left alignment, the numerals for either the single-digit steps or the double-digit steps do not line up with the left margin grid. If, as in my template, the n step format aligns with the body left paragraph margins, this means either the first step or the last step (if it's double-digit) do not left-align with the introductory or summarizing text. I've tried this both ways in my docs. The only benefit to right-alignment is that the gap between the step number and the step text stays consistent when the steps go to two digits. With left-alignment, this means the single-digit steps have a slightly wider gap than the double-digit steps. Steps in the printed FM docs left-align with the body text. It appears they use an em-space after the number, because there is a consistent amount of white space after the number -- the first line of step 10 is more indented than lines 1-9, but by the same amount. (FM 7.0 UG, p 509) This seems to be the format for A steps also (p 8). Subsequent lines in steps wrap back to the left margin so there is not an issue with aligning to a hanging indent. Whenever there are procedures with more than 9 steps (which can't be avoided sometimes :) ), the longer numerals simply have to move to either the left or the right. IMHO, it's more pleasing to the eye to maintain the left margin grid.

Re: converting text to HTML--which tool is best?
We're facing the same decision (how to best convert FM to HTML) and would also like to hear suggestions and comments. I've used the purchased WebWorks before with good results, but at my new company have to justify the purchase of it, or use the WebWorks that comes with Frame 7, or use something else. There needs to be a good main start page for a multiple book set, which the free WebWorks says it provides but I haven't been able to get working.

RE: Cassette to MP3
There are many methods and products, but this setup works well for me for converting records to wav and MP3. You need: - Cassette (record) player with standard L/R speaker output jacks. Can be a component (no speakers) or portable (with speakers). - Griffin iMic USB Microphone Audio Adapter, $35ish online (works for Mac and PC). Good printed doc. - Y Audio Cable: one end is 2 standard L/R audio jacks, the other end is a single audio jack. Must be long enough to reach from the cassette player to the computer. Radio Shack, Fry's, etc. - Goldwave audio software (free trial, $50 http://www.goldwave.com/ ), PC only. Buy it, it's worth it. Plug the L and R jacks of the Y audio cable into the L and R speaker jacks on the cassette player. Plug the single jack on the other end of the Y cable into the iMic. Plug the USB connector of the iMic into a USB port on your computer. Make sure the switch on the iMic is set to 'speaker'. Read Goldwave's built-in help about getting set up and started -- the interface is daunting at first but easy to understand with a bit of reading. Start a cassette so there is sound coming in. You should hear it through your computer speaker (don't worry about poor sound quality from the computer speakers). In Goldwave, you should see the L and R channel readouts indicating that Goldwave is getting audio input. If not, adjust the input settings until it does. Adjust the Goldwave recording options to the ones your project requires. You can set these as the default, but I prefer to save and post-process files at a higher quality, then do a batch conversion to the lower quality. To record, create a new Goldwave file and make sure the recording options are correct and the empty file is long enough (30 min, 60 min, etc.). Click Start, then start playing the cassette. You'll see the L and R channels indicating input and hear the sound. It records in real time. Stop recording by clicking Stop, then Save the file. Do some short test recordings and playbacks before recording an entire tape. Goldwave can automatically split files or stop recording when the sound falls below a certain level. I suggest you not use these options for your cassettes, but record each one in completion and do all splitting, deleting, concatenating, etc. in post-processing. You can cut out the beginning and ending silences, combine several files into one, take out pops, hisses, crackles, etc., and probably do a bunch of other fancy editing I've never needed to get into. Goldwave does not burn CDs. For that, I just use the built-in drag-and-drop app included with XP, but there are numerous other apps for this too.

I work in Frame 7.1b023 with no plug-ins. I have a book file that incorporates multiple 8-1/2 x 11 page size files, multiple 11 x 17 page size files with cross references within files and from file to file, stand alone TOCs, LOFs, and LOTs that are generated and then copied and pasted into the front of the files. The book is then PDF'd with create hyperlinks turned on. The PDF works great and all the cross references for the TOC, LOF, LOT, from Frame work in the PDF. The problem is that the 11 x 17 pages (which are figures) end up on 8-1/2 x 11 pages in the book PDF. What I have been doing is going into each of the 11 x 17 files (9 total), and saving each as a stand-alone 11 x 17 PDF. Then I exchange each new 11 x 17 PDF for the old 8-1/2 x 11 page in the book PDF file. This works for getting the correct page size, but the link from the LOF (which is not on the 11 x 17 page) does not work. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make the links work to the 11 x 17 pages? Thanks Carla J.H.

The cursor will turn into a crosshair and all of the existing links on the page will be outlined. Draw a rectangle around the text line that is the xref to the graphic. In the Create Link dialog, select "Open a page in this document" and enter the destination page number and the appropriate zoom level, then click OK. Click back on the hand tool to exit the Link tool. Now, when you click anywhere on the entry, it will jump to the correct page. You can even make the link open a separate file. This is for Acrobat Standard 6.0. The location of the Link tool may be different in other version.

I work in Frame 7.1b023 with no plug-ins. I have a book file that incorporates multiple 8-1/2 x 11 page size files, multiple 11 x 17 page size files with cross references within files and from file to file, stand alone TOCs, LOFs, and LOTs that are generated and then copied and pasted into the front of the files. The book is then PDF'd with create hyperlinks turned on. The PDF works great and all the cross references for the TOC, LOF, LOT, from Frame work in the PDF. The problem is that the 11 x 17 pages (which are figures) end up on 8-1/2 x 11 pages in the book PDF. What I have been doing is going into each of the 11 x 17 files (9 total), and saving each as a stand-alone 11 x 17 PDF. Then I exchange each new 11 x 17 PDF for the old 8-1/2 x 11 page in the book PDF file. This works for getting the correct page size, but the link from the LOF (which is not on the 11 x 17 page) does not work. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make the links work to the 11 x 17 pages? Thanks Carla J.H.
