Thanks, Jeff.

Looks good for quality management.

Anyone else using this?  Got comment import failures?

Sorry if this is already covered. I didn't quite nail search terms to find
the answer.  Glad to follow URL's if available.

I understand pdf insertions and deletions can be tracked back to FM9,
somewhat as Word has a Review accept/reject capability.

Anyone FM9 users utilizing this? How well does it work?

Can the trackback drill all the way through books to documents and then
their text insets?

Best,

Whitney

Variables in inset files viewed through container file

2010-01-20 Thread Whitney Broach
Happy New Year,

After a quick scan of 4 years of list traffic on container and then
variable, close but no cigar, so here goes (using unstructured FM8):

Inset file has $filename variable.

Container file imports by reference.

With Retain Source's Formatting the file name shown through the container
is the name of the inset. Good. I want this file name to appear as-is.

With Reformat Using Current Document's Formats the file name shown through
the container is the name of the container file. Nope. I want this format
control, but not that content, that file name. It's the name of the inset
that I want to be visible.

Doesn't look like a format difference, at least not in the visual sense.

How do I make the inset file name from its $filename variable to appear
through Reformat Using Current Document's Formats in the container file?

Without structured FM? Without script? (Can consider both; looking cheaply
first.)

This is a big issue with a container template that requires frequent paratag
formatting changes from what's in inset files that are re-used across
multiple container templates.

Related question: how do I simultaneously make the same Settings change for
multiple insets in the same container file? Thinking backstop here, just in
case. (Is that scripting that I hear lurking in the background.?)

Best,

Whitney

(Sorry for any duplication.)

If you've worked in doc dev at or for the Federal Aviation Administration,
please ping me off-list at whitney at@ broachservices #dot^ com.

I'm being retained by an FAA contractor and am trying to get a sense of the
FAA's openness to single-sourcing in general, Frame-centric in particular,
for program deliverables.  Of course any guidance is welcome, especially if
constructive, empathetic, or both. :)

Redaction techniques?

2009-01-19 Thread Whitney Broach
Performed redaction (blackout or whiteout to sanitize a document) from
within pre-8.x FM?

I can use lightweight redaction, meaning that the underlying information
might still be in the output file-because in this case the deliverable is on
paper. I assume this could be done by applying a character style with a font
in which every image is simply a solid block, and then coloring white or
black or whatever. (Any font suggestions?)

Also interested in real redaction, where the redacted information is not in
the output file. 

I've seen the redaction feature of Acrobat 8.x, as well as a couple of
add-ons that work with pdf's. No problem with those. I'm just wondering if
techniques or add-ons exist for FM.

Best,

Whitney
