Re: Hypertext?
Nadine, You wrote: If you only need to output to PDF, I don't think you need to do anything. I ran a quick test with FM 9/Acrobat Pro 8, and Acrobat Pro automatically recognized the text in the FM file as an email address (although, I can't find how to prevent it from doing this). You might want to give the address a character tag in FM to make it look like a link. Inserting a hypertext marker, as described by Rick Quatro and Syed Zaeem Hosain, which results in an Acrobat link, is recommended. When you don't insert the marker, you may still see what looks like a link, because of the Acrobat/Reader feature of detecting links in the content (EditPreferences, General; in versions 8/9/X it is called Create Links from URLs, in version 7 Automatically detect URLs from text). This detection has some limitations, depending on the Acrobat/Reader version used by your end users; it is not available with Reader versions earlier than 7 (and may also also not be available in non-Adobe PDF viewers) To have fully-functional e-mail links in all versions of Reader, I recommend adding hypertext links in FrameMaker, so that real e-mail links are present in the PDF (and not relying on auto-detected ones).

RE: FM 9p255 only uses 25% of CPU no matter what

Added to this disturbing reading (and maybe I have misunderstood how quads work) Windows 7 reports on running the compatibility add-on that FM is INCOMPATIBLE with windows 7.

RE: Automatic ligatures
FM9+ changed the way the UI looks and functions to be more mouse-oriented; people who used keyboard shortcuts have had to adapt a bit to the new UI. From a tech writing point of view, bundling the Technical Communication Suite together provides more ways of generating help output via RoboHelp now. FM9 introduced the book of books concept and folders within books; FM10 doesn't do much more with that. The biggest push is towards structured authoring (DITA and other schemas) and content management systems (CMS). If you've got a spare machine, you can download the free trial play around for 30 days with copies of your docs to see if you like it. You can also run the trial on a an Adobe virtual space online if you don't want to download it. -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Matanya Ophee Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 1:05 AM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Automatic ligatures On 26/03/2012 10:04 PM, Jeff Coatsworth wrote: FYI - FM 10 works fine on WinXP SP3 That's already encouraging.

FM window minimizing unexpectedly
This thing is driving me crazy...I'll be working in my Frame doc and suddenly the window shrinks down to about one inch by three inches! I thought it had something to do with my cursor hitting the edges of the monitor (especially the right side), but I've made sure the FM window opens on the left side and now it just seems to happen randomly. I've checked the interface preferences and found nothing that would seem to cause the minimizing to happen. I'm using FM 10 on Win 7, but the same thing has also happened with Illustrator. I've checked FM help and the forums but didn't see a solution. One might be there, but I didn't see it. :) Please help!

None of the first > generation of Unicode implementations was without problems. the unicode issue was an attempt to comply with 19th century orthography of Cyrillic. Modern Russian fonts do not have all the characters that were used in Russian texts in pre-revolutionary times, and when they do have them, they are not accessible via the keyboard or via the Alt-numeric codes. I did insert this one character (yat') into my FM8 document, and it looked great on the screen, but then appeared as a blank space when printed to PDF, or to my HP 5000. Would this not occur in FM10 and Windows 7? in any case, I solved the issue by using the modern character instead, and printed the book. So far, no one complained...:-) if, and when, I will have to publish a book where access to unicode is a must, then I will consider getting a new machine. > > And although there are a few things about Windows 7 that I still find > annoying, I am overjoyed every day by the *much* faster start up (~30 > seconds to boot as opposed to 4-5 minutes under XP), I got into the habit of booting up, then go have a cup a coffee, and by the time I was back, the XP was ready to roll. > the absence of blue > screen crashes In all the years that I am running XP, this has never happened to me. -- Matanya Ophee Editions Orph?e Inc., 1240 Clubview Blvd. N.

Generating Indexes
Hi Framers, Frame 8, Acrobat X. The frame file will be distributed as a pdf; some copies will be printed. I?m having trouble figuring out how to create indexes. I?ve looked up lists of markers and indexes and I?m not sure what the difference is. In the Help System, I can see a picture illustrating sub-entries of indexes, but I can?t figure out what to change or how. WHAT I WANT: 1. Index of Subjects (these are really titles) with a TAB between the subject and the page number. I have modified Level1SIX Paragraph format. Here?s what Fm generated on the reference page. 1, 2?3 Level2SIX Symbols[\ ];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z <$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics> -_?? Level1SIX openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId> <$pagenum> (These last two are on separate lines with a carriage return between them, so I don't understand where to put the tab). 2. Index of Authors with a TAB between the author and the page number. Since some authors have multiple titles, I want a comma after the second+ page numbers (but not if there are not multiple titles). I have modified Level1AIX Paragraph format. Here?s what Fm generated on the reference page. 1, 2?3 Level2AIX Symbols[\ ];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z <$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics> -_?? Level1AIX openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId> <$pagenum> (same as Issue #1, 2 separate lines) Also, I am currently choosing to create Hypertext markers when the index is generated, but I?m not sure that?s wise. In the pdf of the Index, the active area for hypertext link is anywhere between the start of the author?s name and the first page reference. If there?s another page reference, it has a very small active area. Can I limit the active area for the hypertext marker to the page number area without Microtype tools? Thanks for any light you can shed, Theresa
