[Framers] Rick's InportSelectedFormats Script

[Julie . Sigrist]

I just downloaded Rick's new ImportSelectedFormats script this morning and 
have used it multiple times already. I'm doing a complete template 
redesign of our 16 company manuals and along with Rick's great scripts and 
Matt Sullivan's template design training I can't believe how smoothly it 
is going.

Thanks for all your great work Rick & Matt.

Re: [Framers] How would you approach this? Listing New Stuff

[Julie . Sigrist]

We create a revisions highlight page which shows the Chapter, page number, 
and a brief description of the changes. The Chapter line is a link to the 
chapter that has been changed. I use conditional text to indicate with 
change bars and blue text where the changes have been made inside the 
book.

Good morning, everyone. I'm looking for ideas.

I have a book, will call it a "Run Book".

This book contains files on how to do and fix things on our network.

I'm continually adding or updating files that describe stuff and I'd like
to send out updates to our people that lists content that has been 
recently
added.

All I can think of at this point is to compare the TOC of a previous
version with the new version and turn the "differences" into a bullet 
list.

Anyone do anything like this and if you do, how do you approach it?

Create a condition for the new stuff. 
Tag everything that?s new with the condition. 
Make it a color, like black lettering on a yellow background. 
Give the SMEs the doc with the conditions on and color showing. 

Then they just have to go through the guide and only read what?s 
highlighted with the condition.

[Framers] Installing FrameMaker and Acrobat

[Julie . Sigrist]

My memory isn't the greatest, but I seem to remember an issue with the 
order that FrameMaker and Acrobat is installed.

Does it matter which software is installed first on your system? I will be 
installing FrameMaker 2019 and Acrobat 2017.

Thanks/Julie

[Framers] Cross reference to test in a running header/footer populated using <$marker3>

[Julie . Sigrist]

Using unstructured FrameMaker. On the master page footer I've put in 
Running H/F 13 and on body page use <$marker3> to put an ATA number in 
this location. I also have another location (hidden text) on the body page 
that I want this ATA number to appear. I use this text to help create the 
PDF bookmarks.
 Is there a way to cross reference to the text in <$marker3>? The current 
cross-reference format is set up as -<$pagenumber> 
<$paratext[SectionTitle]> and looks like -201 Exterior Placards and 
Markings. I'm currently adding the ATA number manually so the 
cross-reference is 11-10-11-201 Exterior Placards and Markings. I've tried 
using the paratag for the ATA number with no success.
 Appreciate any ideas.

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 2017 and Visio Graphics

[Julie . Sigrist]

Thank you for your replies. 

This is my first time having to work with a graphic format I couldn't 
reference or not having any control over the format. The book is over 3000 
pages and at least 2000 of those pages are full page graphic images (all 
Visio and I do not have the Visio software). If I try and embed by OLE 
this many graphics, is my book going to be an unmanageable size?

Thinking I need to request the company provide me with graphics in a 
FrameMaker friendly format.

[Framers] Repeat Row When Breaking in Columns

[Julie . Sigrist]

Thank you to all who replied to my question about making a Part Number row 
repeat at the top of a column when the following reference rows broke at 
the end of a column. The best solution is to have Rick Quatro write a 
script for the function. He put together a great demo we used to present 
to the company. Still waiting to hear if they will purchase, but thanks to 
Rick's demo and customer service, it looks promising.

[Framers] FM 2017 Columns and Continued Lines

[Julie . Sigrist]

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] PDF Bookmarks

[Julie . Sigrist]

The way I work around this is to type the text in FrameMaker the way I 
want it to look in the PDF bookmark. Then I use a style to have it look 
the way I want in Framemaker. However, I really like the idea of Rick's 
script for post processing in Acrobat, especially if the text is all in so 
you don't have to take the time to go back and reformat. Also, I'm working 
in unstructured so it might not work the same in structured.

[Framers] FrameMaker Data in Footer

[Julie . Sigrist]

I am using 2017 unstructured FrameMaker to produce an Aircraft Maintenance 
Manual Supplement which is currently in Word. At the bottom of each page 
needs to be an ATA number, page #, revision # & date, and effectivity 
code. I initially set these up as running headers on the master page and 
used markers on the body page to fill in the information. However, I would 
like to use this information to run a TOC and LEP, but seem unable to when 
text frames are on the master pages.

Could some one suggest a productive and efficient way to set up this type 
of a scenario? I've been using unstructured Framemaker for 10 years but 
these aviation manuals I've recently been tasked with (AMM, IPC, etc.) are 
more complex than the internal procedures manuals I've been doing and 
would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Re: [Framers] Transfer from FrameMaker into Word

[Julie . Sigrist]

Kevin is right that the Save to Word option from FrameMaker is not a good 
idea. Since I often need to provide Word files for various people to edit, 
we invest in a subscription to Adobe PDF Services (about $25 a year). I 
produce a PDF file and then use this online service to produce a Word 
file. Seems to work pretty good and haven't had any complaints about the 
resulting Word files. I've also used this service to convert PDFs to Excel 
with good results.

Re: [Framers] Frame Export to Word

[Julie . Sigrist]

I am still using Frame 10. To convert to Word I create a PDF then use the 
Adobe PDF Services to convert to Word or Excel so the departments can have 
a Word file to revise before sending me the changes. Works much better 
than the conversion offered in Frame and is not very much to carry an 
annual subscription.

If you just want to send something so that people can send comments using 
track changes, then it is possible to make a PDF, and from Acrobat, 
"Export to Word"

(obviously I would not recommend using the resulting Word files for other 
things afterwards).

Subject: [Framers] Frame 2017 Export to Word

Maybe I've imaged it, but I seem to remember threads re: exporting Frame
2017 to Word? (I'm still on Frame 12)

 

Is this possible? Does it result in a usable doc (ie, is the formatting
decent?)

 

I was at a job interview today and it sounds like they could really use 
the Conditional aspects of Frame in order to deliver various flavours of 
the same manuals. However, they have done without a tech writer for a 
while and like the fact that their engineers can simply go into a Word doc 
and make changes themselves.

 

I thought they might try exporting to Word so the engineers could (with 
Track Changes on) make edits in Word. Then the new tech writer - 
preferably me ;-))) - could incorporate those changes into the Frame docs.
