Re: What next for Mif2Go?
My first request -- and the one I'd pay more money for -- would be the Go2MIF interface, to import Word and other file formats cleanly into Frame. My second would be to improve the existing user interface so things are easier to set up and check, maybe with a logging facility. Cheers, and thanks for making a great product, Jeremy!

Arabic translations from English FrameMaker files
FrameMaker V7.1 (English) Windows XP Pro SP2 Multi-lingual in Arabic language environment I am unable to access the archives to view any previous discussions on this matter. There are websites out there that suggest you can force FrameMaker to play the game with Arabic text. I am currently massaging English templates to use with Arabic text, and having to overcome many obstacles; so far I have discovered some workarounds to achieve the same end, so I have kept going. Our biggest obstacle is the random insertion of text (not at the cursor point), and application of character tags and conditional tags that change the selected text to something completely different. I am assuming that this is due to the lack of support for unicode characters. This appears to be a show-stopper. Has anyone had any success in this field? Are there any plug-ins available? Is it time to abandon commonsense and resort to Word? If it can work, does anyone know of an Arabic dictionary that can be slotted into the file system for use with FrameMaker? Currently I have assigned None as the language in all paragraph and character tags, but it would be most useful to assign an Arabic dictionary.

Deleted empty pages still reappear after updating the book
Hello Framers! I've recently been updating FrameMaker books that have been handed down to me. At the end of some chapters, there is a blank page. To rid the book of these blank pages, I select Format Page Layout Pagination, and then Delete Empty Pages in the Before Saving Printing drop-down select list. However, once I update the book, the empty page is regenerated. Why is this? Is there a problem with the template, or is FrameMaker notorious for generating blank pages after updating?

Re: Deleted empty pages still reappear after updating the book
Check the following chapter file's pagination settings. My guess is that it's forced to start on a particular page, and the previous file has no choice but to add a blank page to make the pagination flow properly.

Re: Deleted empty pages still reappear after updating the book
It's probably happening because the chapter in the book _after_ the one you're playing with is set to start on a specific page, probably a right hand one. And the program is adding a blank page to Chapter A to make sure the following Chapter B is paginated correctly. Also, you don't mention whether you're making the settings in the chapter files, which only control individual chapters, or on the component files within the book -- where you want to be making the changes.

The blank page must be inserted so there will be a left hand page between them. It's also possible that the last page is not in fact blank.

Re: Deleted empty pages still reappear after updating the book
This also happens if the last page has a custom master page assigned to it. If this is the case, assigned the Right master page and then update the document, the lagging page will disappear and the document will be chorter. Good luck.

Re: More Elegant Indexing Solution
I've already responded to Kevin, and we have a solution that works. When inserting an index marker for Kevin's tutorial passages, you need to append the marker text with Emphasis . This would be the only difference between the regular (or standard) reference and the tutorial references. For example, using the index entries from Kevin's initial email, the text of the index marker for the creating new distribution rules tutorial would be: Distribution Rules:creating new distribution rules Emphasis I tested this in my own doc by trying to create index entries for a report description. The first index marker was placed where the description started. Then I inserted the Emphasis marker where a sample screenshot occurred. The resulting Index entry looked like this: sales return detail lookup 36, *37* (Yes, the 37 is italicized, but the 36 is not). -- Brian From: Kevin Hunter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: May 5, 2007 2:03 PM Subject: More Elegant Indexing Solution To: framers@lists.frameusers.com framers@lists.frameusers.com Hi everyone, I have a series of user guides where the first few chapters typically include a tutorial, and the rest of the guide includes reference information (like for each option on each screen, that type of thing). So the first section and the last part may have overlapping topics, where in the first section it's more of a how-to approach, and in the last, it just tells you what it does. What I want to do is reflect this elegantly in the index, perhaps by having one type of reference in italics, and the standard references (to the reference section of the guide) in normal type. Currently I have a bit of a cumbersome approach, where in the actual index entries I just put the word (tutorial) into the ref. So what I want is tha instead of having this type of thing: Distribution Rules creating new distribution rules, 345 creating new distribution rules (tutorial), 47 to have something like Distribution Rules creating new distribution rules, 47, 345 (where the 47 is in italics, not sure if that'll come through when I send this email). Then, in my How to Use this Guide section, I'd just have to say once that the italics indicate references to the tutorial sections. thanks! Kevin Kevin Hunter ExcelSystems Software Development, Inc.

What next for Mif2Go?

I know (believe, anyway) that FM finds its natural home in the technical communication community, and I've used it that way -- a lot -- in the past. But now I use it for academic writing. My chief motivation in obtaining Mif2Go has nothing to do with generating help or HTML files; I use it to interface with EndNote, because EndNote needs nice clean RTF. I can't guess at how many other users, or how many other listers, have similar needs. But I wonder whether anyone else in the same boat as me has thought about whether Mif2Go could provide a tighter EndNote interface. (Don't ask me for details; I've no idea!)

Arabic translations from English FrameMaker files
FrameMaker V7.1 (English) Windows XP Pro SP2 Multi-lingual in Arabic language environment I am unable to access the archives to view any previous discussions on this matter. There are websites out there that suggest you can force FrameMaker to play the game with Arabic text. I am currently massaging English templates to use with Arabic text, and having to overcome many obstacles; so far I have discovered some workarounds to achieve the same end, so I have kept going. Our biggest obstacle is the random insertion of text (not at the cursor point), and application of character tags and conditional tags that change the selected text to something completely different. I am assuming that this is due to the lack of support for unicode characters. This appears to be a show-stopper. Has anyone had any success in this field? Are there any plug-ins available? Is it time to abandon commonsense and resort to Word? If it can work, does anyone know of an Arabic dictionary that can be slotted into the file system for use with FrameMaker? Currently I have assigned None as the language in all paragraph and character tags, but it would be most useful to assign an Arabic dictionary.

Deleted empty pages still reappear after updating the book
Hello Framers! I've recently been updating FrameMaker books that have been handed down to me. At the end of some chapters, there is a blank page. To rid the book of these blank pages, I select Format > Page Layout > Pagination, and then Delete Empty Pages in the "Before Saving & Printing" drop-down select list. However, once I update the book, the empty page is regenerated. Why is this? Is there a problem with the template, or is FrameMaker notorious for generating blank pages after updating?

Check the following chapter file's pagination settings. My guess is that it's forced to start on a particular page, and the previous file has no choice but to add a blank page to make the pagination flow properly. Set the following chapter's pagination to "Next Available" if you don't care whether the chapter starts on the left or right page.

It's probably happening because the chapter in the book _after_ the one you're playing with is set to start on a specific page, probably a right hand one. And the program is adding a blank page to Chapter A to make sure the following Chapter B is paginated correctly. Also, you don't mention whether you're making the settings in the chapter files, which only control individual chapters, or on the component files within the book -- where you want to be making the changes.

This also happens if the last page has a custom master page assigned to it. If this is the case, assigned the Right master page and then update the document, the lagging page will disappear and the document will be chorter. Good luck.

OT: Acrobat 8, as part of CS3 Package
Last week, as early as Friday, I was able to create PDFs from Frame using Acrobat 8 Distiller with no problems. PDFs came out as expected. Today I create PDFs and Acrobat drops text and cross-reference links at random. I have not made any changes to my system (Windows XP SP2, 2Gb RAM, Frame 7.2, Adobe CS3). Has anyone else seen this? Has Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, downloaded a patch that I missed? - 8:00? 8:25? 8:40? Find a flick in no time with theYahoo! Search movie showtime shortcut.

Acrobat 8, as part of CS3 Package
Same system properties you describe, Acrobat 8 Pro bundled with CS3 Design Premium Upgrade. Last week, I made a post (Frame 7.2 crashes with Acrobat 8 Pro) regarding frequent, random crashes. Unlike you, I was unable to successfully create PDFs from all Frame files. I had success with some individual files, but almost all book files crashed. In addition, I also had the same problem you describe: random character dropouts. In my research, I stumbled on a fix on the Adobe FrameMaker forum (http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc3265e). Delete this file (C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT), reboot, try again. Character dropouts go away for a while, but it might happen so do this periodically. I don't know of any patches yet. Any help on Frame crashes with Distiller 8 would be great. -Original Message- From: framers-bounces+jrush=c-cor@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+jrush=c-cor.com at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of David Spreadbury Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 3:21 PM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: OT: Acrobat 8, as part of CS3 Package Last week, as early as Friday, I was able to create PDFs from Frame using Acrobat 8 Distiller with no problems.

More Elegant Indexing Solution
I've already responded to Kevin, and we have a solution that works. When inserting an index marker for Kevin's "tutorial" passages, you need to append the marker text with . This would be the only difference between the regular (or standard) reference and the tutorial references. For example, using the index entries from Kevin's initial email, the text of the index marker for the "creating new distribution rules" tutorial would be: Distribution Rules:creating new distribution rules I tested this in my own doc by trying to create index entries for a report description. The first index marker was placed where the description started. Then I inserted the "" marker where a sample screenshot occurred. The resulting Index entry looked like this: sales return detail lookup 36, *37* (Yes, the "37" is italicized, but the "36" is not). -- Brian From: Kevin Hunter < kev...@excelsystems.com> Date: May 5, 2007 2:03 PM Subject: More Elegant Indexing Solution To: " framers at lists.frameusers.com" Hi everyone, I have a series of user guides where the first few chapters typically include a tutorial, and the rest of the guide includes reference information (like for each option on each screen, that type of thing). So the first section and the last part may have overlapping topics, where in the first section it's more of a how-to approach, and in the last, it just tells you what it does. What I want to do is reflect this elegantly in the index, perhaps by having one type of reference in italics, and the standard references (to the reference section of the guide) in normal type. Currently I have a bit of a cumbersome approach, where in the actual index entries I just put the word (tutorial) into the ref. So what I want is tha instead of having this type of thing: Distribution Rules creating new distribution rules, 345 creating new distribution rules (tutorial), 47 to have something like Distribution Rules creating new distribution rules, 47, 345 (where the 47 is in italics, not sure if that'll come through when I send this email). Then, in my How to Use this Guide section, I'd just have to say once that the italics indicate references to the tutorial sections. thanks! Kevin Kevin Hunter ExcelSystems Software Development, Inc.

Hi, all, I checked the archives and the power tools list, but didn't find anything. Does anyone of a plugin (or is this a job for Framescript?) that would crawl through a document and change cross references from a reference to a type=marker to type=paragraph? We have a reference guide that went from structured to unstructured, and now we have several thousand cross references that are looking for a marker that's not there. Surely someone's run into this. Is there any workaround?
