Virus alert: If you get an email from me with no subject, do not open it!

2012-08-23 Thread Marguerite Krupp 
Someone inadvertently sent me a virus. The email had no subject. Since I
 knew the person, I opened the email. Because I figured it's better to 
err on the side of caution, I'm sending out this warning.

If you get an email from me with no subject, just delete it, unopened. 
If you do this, you'll be OK.

If you're as paranoid about these things as I am, it's a good idea to change 
your email password.

My apologies for the inconvenience and for the spam, but I'd rather be safe

Re: Minor typos and the QA guy/scrummaster

2012-07-19 Thread Marguerite Krupp 
Your expert can already edit your docs in pdf if he has the full Adobe 
Acrobat Pro Extended. Or even with Reader if you enable commenting in your pdf. 
The tools are pretty good. Maybe he just needs some education in how to use 
them.


The real issue is whether you want to allow others to make changes to your 
document. If they can make changes, those changes should be identified by 
content, date, and author, so you have some traceback. Otherwise, you'll have 
to run pdf comparisons all over the place.

My pet peeve in this regard is experts who have their own pet ways of 
spelling certain words, and anything else, even standard English usage, is a 
typo. I worked for one guy once whose wife was an editor, and he insisted 
that I insert double spaces after the period at the end of every sentence. 
Anything else, he insisted, was a typo.

FWIW,
Marguerite

To be fair, you CAN save it elsewhere, and it's probable that you can

But Microsoft making their cloud the default out of the box kinda worries me.

 Subject: Re: Minor typos and the QA guy/scrummaster

 Well, let's see, off the top of my head:

 1. Word2013 isn't available yet, so it's going to be hard for your
 developers to make use of it anytime soon. Not only that, but
 according to one article, it won't work on any OS prior to Windows 7.

 2. From the article I saw on PCWorld, when it IS available, you've got
 the issue with it defaulting to saving out to Microsoft's
 Skydrive--does your scrum master, much less your company, really want
 to put its IP out in the cloud? Particularly a cloud they don't
 control? I've seen no mention (so far, but admittedly I haven't been
 looking) that Microsoft has addressed the corporate customer's need
 for security and IP control and the likelihood that they'll want to
 keep things on their own storage network.

 3. Tell him you'll let him and his developers edit your source when he
 lets you edit theirs. ;-)

 4. Point out to him that each profession has specialized tools to make
 things easier and more efficient, and ask him if he thinks correcting
 some minor typos is worth handicapping you. Tell him that his trying
 to get you to work in Word rather than Frame is like you telling him
 that his developers should all be working in Notepad rather than in an
 IDE.

 OK, #3 is a bit snarky, so unless you know him really well, I wouldn't
 try it. My bet is on #4, but I'm betting there are others on this list
 who can give you more cogent arguments.

 Good luck with it. (As an aside, what IS it with people who don't work
 as writers trying to tell writers what tools they should be using?)

 Hello, Framers -

 My QA guy has a problem with chasing minor typos in our docs: it takes
 longer to document the typo than it does to fix it. He wants a solution
 that
 bypasses the need for FrameMaker, and has read an article that says Word
 2013 will allow editing of PDFs in native format. He wants the developers
 to
 be able to do this to my docs.



 I’ve explained all the many problems with using Word, but he is still
 searching for an answer, which means I am too.



 What is your solution to the problem he sees?  To me, it should be a
 non-problem, i.e., typos should not exist anyway, and the developers
 should
 not be allowed anywhere near my “source”, but the reality is that he has
 more say in it than I (he is also scrummaster).



 Thanks

RE: Extracting art from Word docs

2011-03-28 Thread Marguerite Krupp 
Thanks for the good advice, Fred!
 
I'm with you on all but the last point. Unfortunately, this is one of those 
legacy docs that has a long and checkered history. It was originally done in 
PageMaker 6.5, and it was only through a series of gyrations and extractions 
that I got a Word doc at all. No source art files, nobody left to tell the tale!
 
I tried changing the extension, but I have only Word 2003 at work, and WinZip 
wouldn't buy it. Will have to try it at home with a more recent version, but I 
do see your point. Will try more maneuvers tomorrow.
 
This list is such a great resource! You've saved me enormous amounts of work so 
many times!
 
Thanks again,
Marguerite

First, note that it is *not* necessary to change the filename extension. All 
that is necessary is to open it with a tool like WinZip that looks past the 
extension to see what's inside the file itself. 
 
Second, the word/media folder you will find inside the Word file will contain a 
graphic object for every graphic in the document whether it was pasted, 
inserted by reference, or embedded as an editable object. Graphics that are in 
a vector format (WMF, Visio objects, etc.) are in the word/media folder as .emf 
or .wmf objects, and raster graphics seem to be in .png format. I was just 
working on a document that had a mixture of pasted vector figures, pasted 
raster images, and embedded Visio drawing objects, and all of them were present 
in the word/media folder.
 
Third, if the graphics were imported by reference you'd already have spearate 
external files for each one, so there seems to be little point in extracting 
another copy from the Word document.

Two questions:

Using the MS Photo Editor, I get 96dpi files (IOW, screen captures), which are

First, note that it is *not* necessary to change the filename extension. All 
that is necessary is to open it with a tool like WinZip that looks past the 
extension to see what's inside the file itself. 
?
Second, the word/media folder you will find inside the Word file will contain a 
graphic object for every graphic in the document whether it was pasted, 
inserted by reference, or embedded as an editable object. Graphics that are in 
a vector format (WMF, Visio objects, etc.) are in the word/media folder as .emf 
or .wmf objects, and raster graphics?seem to be in .png format. I was just 
working on a document that had a mixture of pasted vector figures, pasted 
raster images, and embedded Visio drawing objects, and all of them were present 
in the word/media folder.
?
Third, if the graphics were imported by reference you'd already have?spearate 
external files for each one, so there seems to be little point in extracting 
another copy from the Word document.

Tools for converting FM docs to WikiMedia?

2008-02-15 Thread Marguerite Krupp (mkrupp) 
Does anyone know of any good (and preferably free) tools for converting
unstructured FrameMaker 7.2 files to WikiMedia markup language? Is going
through XML (or MIF) and some sort of translator a good idea, or should
we try some sort of converter directly from the FM files, if such a
converter is available?
 
Thanks,
Marguerite Krupp

I, for one, was glad to accept. Now the rest of the week is ruined! :-(
But it is Friday, so ...

 All,

 Many of you whom I've conversed with through this list have been sent 
 invites for LinkedIn. This was not intentional. Somehow instead of 
 connecting with a few choice Gmail contacts, LinkedIn sent an invite 
 to everyone in my Gmail address book. (That's a lot of people!)

 Again, I deeply apologize for the cold contact. It wasn't intentional.
