Easiest way to update all paragraphs in a book
Hi We are goin to change all our Times New Roman 10 pt fonts to Verdana 9 pt fonts. What is the easiest way to update all styles in the paragraph designer? Right now, i have the following solutions: 1. Press ctrl+m and update each style in paragraph designer. Import formats to whole book. 2. Save as .mif search and replace Times New Roman and 10 pt respectively. Save as .fm and import formats to whole book. Is there an easier or safer solution?

OT: Automatic creation of pdf files
Hi I am looking for a tool to automatically create pdf files on a network drive. Scenariao: Input files are converted to Framemaker files via Trados. A network distiller automatically creates pdf ouputs from the Framemaker books and places the files in specific folders. Maybe even a system that can watch when framemaker folder are updated and can be set up to send a status report to a specific mail client. Do you recommend any tools for such a job. Automap from Quadralay can probably do the job. I also remember Adobe having a network distiller.

Glossary for both paper and online help
All How do you insert glossary items in your Framemaker file for use in the paper version as an alphabetical list of glossary terms and in the online help as drop-down hotspots/hovertext. I use Framemaker 7.2 and Webworks Publisher 7.2 with the webhelp 5.0 output format. I used to have a generated alphabetical list of glossary markers for the paper manual and some other markers for the online part. I have seen various ways of doing this in Framemaker Using gotolink and newlink markers Using acronymTitle and AbbreviationTitle makers. I would prefer an automatic solution which lists all items in the paper version of the glossary alphabetically.

Off topic: Handling of linked graphics in several language versions in Framemaker
Hey I am describing a software product and have hundreds of screen shots in my manual that is to be translated into several languages. Have you a good idea for directory structure and file naming of graphics inserted by reference? My idea is the following: Product version x.y - Generic graphcis - English - - Framemaker files -- Language specific graphics -- pdf The idea is that by copying the English folder to another language folder the translator will be up and running and can replace the language specific graphics. I realize that screen shots with the same name will exist in different versions and languages, but to use version/language specific graphics will result days spent in re-importing graphics whenever a new version of the manual is to be made. How do you solve this issue?

RE: Language-specific text in a single-sourcing environment (unstructured framemaker 8)
Hello I am responsible for source files in English and distribute these to 5 translators abroad who are to make localized versions. Now the local markets want market-specific documentation in our so far standard manuals. To maintain one source you could have the language-specific sections conditionalised in the english source. This means that you produce paper and English, paper and German etc. I don't think this works for whole chapters though. In this case you will have to have language specific books. How do you handle this issue?

Automatic generation of inner front with chapter tabs
The chapters in our books are divided by index tab dividers. Right now the inner front always has 17 tabs. The tabs are represented by a table with automatically generated list of markers from each chapter. I think it will be too costly to deliver 17 index tab divider for manuals with only 8 or 12 chapters. Is it possible automatically to generate an inner front page where I can select between say 8, 12 and 17 index tab dividers. I know that I could have 3 different inner front pages, but then I and all translators would have to replace one front page with another when the number of chapter increase from for example 8 to 9 chapters. I use unstructured Framemaker 8. The solution that I choose should also work for translators with say a Japanese Framemaker/OS.

Best way to rename template paragraphs so that you can use short cut keys
Hello I have inherited a template where you cannot easily use short cut keys to get the paragraphs because the naming methodology is not consistant. I want to rename my pararagrahs so that I can use short cut keys but I want to keep the old paragraph formatting. I think that there must be an easier way than the one I am using. I use Paragraph tools from Silicon Praries to create a conversion document. I type in the new names besides the old names in a table, run tthe tool, and voila all paragraphs in the document are updated. The issue is that the old paragraphs are still in the document when creating the new ones. So if I want to test the short cuts for the new paragraps I may get some of the old ones from the temlate. How do you suggest that I proceed?

OT: Any of you documenting the same product as IVD and non-IVD equipment?
Hi I just found out that my product manual should be marked with the IVD symbol for US customers. For the rest of the world the IVD doesn't apply. The current solution is to have the same manuals in two versison one with and one without the IVD logo on the rear page. That means two order numbers, additons to price lists, two brochures, two CDs with the manual etc. Do any of you know of an operational way of handling this? My first suggestions was to have 1 manual and in front of or above the IVD logo have something like applicable to the US market but that idea was discarded by regulatory affairs. I looking forward to hearing any suggestions offline Med venlig hilsen - Best regards Verner Andersen Technical Writer Radiometer Medical ApS Phone +45 3827 3612 Fax +45 3827 2727 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Radiometer Medical ApS Akandevej 21 2700 Bronshoj Denmark Phone: +45 38 27 38 27 CVR: 27 50 91 85 This message (including any attachments) contains confidential and/or proprietary information intended only for the addressee.

RE: Strange behaviour of anchored frames inserted at insertion point with distance 0 pt above baseline
Hi I cannot figure out why some of my anchored frames are placed above the insertion point in stead of at the insertion point. It seems that whenever the frame starts on a page I have this problem. When I have a sentence above the frame there is no problem. Can you tell me what is causing this behavior?

Single sourcing 2 manuals and one help
Hi I am single-sourcing 2 paper manuals and one online help in one. The online help is implemented in Webworks Publisher where you globally can define what conditions to hide and what to show. What do you suggest for the manual order number: Variables or conditional text? How do you handle conditions that only exist in some documents, to make sure that you get the right output? I have the following output combinations: online + release 14 online + release 15 Paper + release 14 + variant a (as either conditional text or variables) Paper + release 15 + variant b (as either conditional text or variables) Some of the chapters only belong to the paper manual. I believe that the foolproof thing is to import all conditions to all files in the book and set the whole book to the various output combinations. On the other and it seems a bit superfluos to have files with conditional text definitions that are not used.

Offtopic: Questionnaire about documentation
Hi I am going to send out a questionnaire to our customers about documentation. I am interested in good advice, maybe a template or a sample questionnaire. I am interested in knowing whether customers prefer online help or the paper manual, whether they need translated screen shots or they can live English ones in all the translated versions of the manual, whether they prefer task-orietend help or are happy with the screen based context-sensitive help, whether there is something they can do without. Also these questions should be phrased so that we get the customers' real opinion. Should the questionare be a mjultiple choice, and all the questions be phrased so that you can select between the same choices for the whole questionnaire? Please reply off list.

Repair corrupted FM file?
Hi I have a fm 7.2 fm file with an old template which works fine. I have the same file converted to FM 8 with a whole new temlate which apparently is corrupted. When I press carriage return the cusor stop at page 40, inserts a line above the cursor and I cannot press carriage return anymore - the cursor is stuck at the bottom. The file has been written on a German Framemaker and updated on an English Framemaker. Converting to .mif and opening in Framemaker does not change anything. Is there a tool that can repair Framemaker files or do you have anoter suggestion? Of course I can the old fm 7.2 to version 8 and put on a new template - but this is quite a job.

Easiest way to create a new book from a template (unstructured FM8)
My FM template contains all formats in the book. When I create a new book I take a chapter file at set it all up from there: Add front page, toc, chapters, glossary index and rear page. All set up by using specific headings to call the correct master pages. I set up the page and chapter numbering from the book and set up the Table of Contents from the Set up Table of Contents menu. Now a Documentation group is going to use my template. They are all new to Framemaker. Can I set up a dummy book that they just copy to their working directory? I see that I can rename files from within the book and get links working but I cannot rename the book file itself. Is there an easy way to get the book file renamed and get the generated files like TOC, Index and Glossary working without having to set them up from scratch again? Do you have any other good ideas on how to optimize a template for group usage.

How can I avoid having to rescale linked screen shots
All my screen shots in Framemaker are linked .png. When I write a new version of the manual I simply replace all the changed screen shots with with new ones with the same name and voila all screen shots in the manual are updated. Alas, when I open Framemaker they often lloks distorted and I have to reimport or at least rescale them again. Is there a way to avoid this? I know that I from the menu Graphics, Object properties can set the scaling to 100% and restart scaling but I hope that there is an easier way to handle linked graphics.

Template conversion, framemaker native formats
I am converting an old template to a new one. Everything is to be converted including master pages and reference pages. Procedure: 1. I copy all contents into a blank document 2. Import all formats from template to document 3, Convert format using paragraph tool, character tool and table tool from Silicon Prairie. 4. Remove overrides 5. Save untitled document with old file name. Framemaker paragraphs like Bulleted, Numbered and Body suddenly were in my document. I guess I should have deleted them from my untitled document before importing the formats. Do you have an easer way of converting a fm template or is this the standard procedure?

My generated lists creates room for sideheads
Hi In most chapters I use sideheads, but not in the TOC, Index and Glossary. Although the master pages are set up not to have sideheads there are sideheads in the generated lists if I import the formats from my template and update the book. If I remove the sidehead from the body page and update the book the sideheads are gone. Is it the paragraph formats for the generated lists in my template that create the sideheads? How should the format be set, so that sideheads are not created?

My document properties in template turns sideheads on for several files where it is unwanted
Hi I just found out that when I import Document properties to all files in by book the sideheads are suddenly turned on in several files. TOC, Glossary, Date page, Inner front. To remove the sideheads I have to select the frame, select object properties, and unckeck the Room for sidehead box. I think it will work if I import all formats apart from theDocument properties when I am updating my books.

Directory structure for manuals to translate,
Hi Do you have any improvements for my directory structure for manuals to translate into several languages: English - Graphics (corporate) - Text insets (corporate) - Product 1 - - Product 1, release xx - - - Product 1, User manual - - - - Product 1, user manual, fm files - - - - Product 1, User manual, pdf files - - - Graphics (the ones to be localised with a T in front of the name) - - - Text insets The idea is that you copy the Product 1, User manual folder to the language folder to be translated. You copy changed graphics and text insets to the corresponding folders in the other language folder. The Text insets and Graphics folders are presently common to the whole release and contain files that are used in several manuals. Some, but not many of them single-sourced between for example the user manual and the setup manual. Graphics (corporate) could actually be above the language folder as they are common to all languages. The folder contains logos, IVD symbol, CE mark etc. The Text insets (corporate) folder contains language-specific corporate text-insets like Warranty, Disclaimer, end user license. Currently I am considering whether I should move the Graphics and Text insets folders under each type of manual, i.e one graphics folder for the user manual and one for the setup manual. Also I have a problem with the two corporate folders as I have to manully point at files located at the higher levels after I have moved the files to the other language folder. I am looking forward to hearing about your directory structure.

FM 8 crashes again and again
I just counted. My Framemaker 8 crashed more than 80 times since June last year. Framemaker 7 was so stable and robust. It happens when I update the book, generate pdfs and often I cannot see action that should cause the crash. Do you experience the same? Is FM 9 more stable?

RE: FM 8 crashes again and again
Fair enough I include my system details below. I suspect that my problem has to do with the Framemaker source files as the rest is unchanged from FM version 7.2 apart from my Windows Service pack 3.

Offtopic: Trisoft CMS, what is your opinion?
I have been asked what do you think about trisoft cms? I don't know the product. Right now I am the only one using unstructured Framemaker. We have 5 writers who are using MS Word. Framemaker has been bought and we have a template in unstructured FM that is built up around the IMAP structure. We are considering moving to structured Framemaker and DITA. Our product manuals are translated into 22 languages. We do not have a cms system. I am the only one single-sourcing pdf and context-sensitive webhelp output. I am sure that there are many possibilities of reuse among the product manuals. Trisoft claims Doing DITA without a CMS wouldn't be the brightest thing you ever did. What do you think? Is Trisoft the right thing for us?

Off topic: Helping translators with localised screen shots
My English manual with 300+ screen shots is now going to be updated and then translated into 6 languages. The screen shots are to be localized. I use SnagIt 7.2.3. I plan to give them my English manual with the English screen shots as links. The idea is that they replace the English screen shots with the localised ones. I realize that I may help the translators in different ways, so that it is easier for them to get the screen shots into Framemaker without having to rescale them. Maybe I should have 2 or 3 standard. dpi settings for imported graphics? Which ones do you suggest? For some screens I have minimized the application window before I take the screen shot in order to display all screen texts in a readable way in Framemaker. What are your guidelines for translators who are to take screen shots? What are you guidelines for importing screen shots into Framemaker?

Anchored frame positioning
Hi I have somehow changed a setting in my template so that anchored frame positioning doesn't work as intended anylonger. I select Anchoring Position At Insertion Point, and Distance above Baseline: 0.0 pt. Sitll my frame is offset by -35 mm from the top. I cannot force the position by changing the offset positioning in Object Properties. I suspect that this behavior has something to do with my in column paragraphs or my master page. If I insert the frame in the sidehead area the graphics frame is below the cursor position as it should be and not above the cursor position.

Alternative to expensive CMS system
Hi We are evaluating wheteher we should migrate to Structured Framemaker. Our situation: * 4200 English source pages to convert, * no multi-channel output, * releatively small possibility of reuse, approximately 30% (if we can use conditions) * translation into more than 20 languages. We have Trados translation memory and the company is going to implement Master Control, a document control sw system. I know, it is now that we should discuss the situation with an unbiased consultant! We have already contacted one consultant. They had a very large system in mind, which was also used in the car industry and companies producing cell phones. Such a system would cost hundres of thousands of dollars. As I understand it, you only get real value out of structured Framemaker if you have a CMS system. Are there other content management systems that can do the job and be integrated with a translation memory system?

Minimizing layout work on localised manuals using trados translation memory
Hi I work with unstructured Framemaker 8. As you all know some localised languages take up more space than others. This may result in the English source version looking OK and the translated German version needing layout work. Do you have ways to minimizd the layout work? Do you plan for additional space in columns so that the same tables can be used in serveral languages? In case of major updates of an English manual do you simply run it through the translation memory and redo the layout work on localized files? Any tips on minimizing the layout work are welcome. Can we do more to minimize layout work on translated manuals if we go structured?

RE: finding copied graphics, another way of doing it
Hi all I searched the .mif file and found some copied graphics. However, it was difficult to loacate them. They all seemed to be in a text inset. Then I got the idea of separating the file from its linked graphics. I simply renamed the graphics folder and reopened the file. Now only the graphics that were copied into the file were displayed.

OT: Automatic capturing of screen shots
Hi Have any of you been working with tools that grab screen shots automatically. I am going to - start our application - send data to the application using a java based simulator - capture various screens and parts of screens - save the screens as .png Change the language settings of the PC and repeat the procedure for several languages. Have any of you automated such a procedure and preferably with a tool where you can add new captures to the script?

Framemaker vs XMetal for structured authoring
Hi I currently use unstructured Framemaker for pdf output. I single-source my content - and via Webworks Publisher I output to context-sensitive help in Webworks help format. My 5 colleagues use Word and output to pdf for printing. We plan to go structured and are considering whether we should use Framemaker or XMetal. Do any of you know where I can find an unbiased comparison of the two tools? I have been told that the major disadvantage of using Framemaker is that you are required to save in binary format to keep the Framemaker-specific XML processing instructions (pls). If you store in xml-format you cannot retrieve and maintain conditional text. Callouts on drawings (the graphics tool in Framemaker) will be rasterized, and even paragraph styles can be discarded if you save a document as XML. What are the implications of sacrificing saving documents as XML? Another advantage in favor of XMetal should be that it has vendor-supported integration with most content management systems (CMS). Apparently XMetal seems to be the best choice. What are your comments?

OT: Describing software user interfaces using DITA
Hi I am looking at my software user interface and evaulating what should be tasks, comcepts and reference. Right now I am creating context-sensitive help and a paper manual (single-sourced). In my interface I can create hundreds of tasks, but they are very simple almost self-explanatory on screen. Tasks like Printing a report, Approving a result, Reviewing a result Writing a reject comment What is more difficult is to describe what happens behind the scene. What new features opens up for you depending on your choices. Yet another issue is that what is probably the most difficult for users to understand is typical reference information like all the symbols on different screens. They are not all intuitive and without documentation the user hasn't a clue to what is going on. Questions: Do you describe the very simple tasks? If so, how do you handle hundreds of small tasks in a paper manual? Where do you describe task-related connections between features? Where do you place reference information that is necessary for the user to know? Are there any good examples of DITA doumentation that illustrate my issues?

Easy way of handling conditional text
Hi I have FM8. I use several conditional text settings in my documents. The issue is that some are only used in one chapter. Some chapter may be unconditional, i.e. paper only, some paper and online, some release x + 1 etc. So far I have imported all conditions to all chapters even if they were not used in the chapter. If, for example, I want to set all chapters to paper I import conditional text settings from a chapter alreasdy set to paper to all chapters in the book. It works fine but it is a bit annoying having conditional text tags in chapters that do not need them. Do you have any other ways of handling conditional text.

Graphics after a sidehead paragraph will not stay at anchoring position

This doesn't work whenever I insert a graphics frame on a an empty in column line immediately after a sidehead paragraph.

Framemaker fields and Trados Translation Workbench
Hi I use FM8 and we are in the process of translating my Framemaker manual into German via the Trados Transltion Workbench. Then, after translation we find out that the conversion back to .mif isn't possible. We find errors in Glossary fields and Index entry fields that are too long. I have reduced the number of characters in those fields by dividing index entries into several fields and shortening the glossary explanaition fields. Are there other ways to solve this issue?

OT: Text insets and trados translation workbench

RE: tables and translation
Hi When we translated our manual from English to German via the Trados translation workbench it turned out that many of columns in tables were too small. The result was that a letter or two wre placed in line two of the column. I fixed this in the files I received from the translator but would like to fix it in my English source so that I won't have to do this again in the next release. My plan was to open a copy ofthe English files and manually compare all tables with those in the German files. Originally I used tables from the table designer by I fear that many of them habe been manually modified. Do you have any suggestions about how to handle the task? I know that a Framescript can solve the issue, I am in doubt whether it will be too costly compared to the one time manual work.

Changing font when translating to Japanese
Hi I am going to send an English manual to translation in Japanese. The translators use Trados tageditor. My manual uses the Verdana font. I believe that I have to change all the fonts? Do you know which font I must have in the .mif files? I looked at a translated Japanes manual and it had both MS UI Gothic and Arial Unicode MS. What is the easiest way to change the font? A search and replace throughout the book? What about text on master pages in markers etc? Is it a better idea to change the font in the .mif file? I have topicAlias markers which must not be translated. Any other recommendations before shipping the file off?

Replacing special character single quote
Hello Our Trados translator has inserted single quotes in stead of double quotes in the destination source. This results in the text look strange in Framemaker as the single quote is probably considered a control character in Framemaker. How do I search and replace the single quote with a double quote? The search function doesn't find anything when I copy the single quote into to find box and click search. Is there a way to search for special characters such as the single quote.

Translators
Hi We are migrating from MS Word to Framemaker. Many of our 22 translators will use FrameMaker or Trados S-tagger. Some, however, will only us MS Word as they cannot or will not learn a new tool. How do we give them a Word file? Should we convert from the English Framemaker master files to Word? Should we buy Adobe Acrobat 8 and convert the pdf file generated from Framemaker to Word? or do you have another solution.

QA wants unique edition number in changed footers
Hi I am using unstructured Framemaker 7.2 All my FM book files contain all master pages, all variables, all reference pages etc. This means that if you accidentially copy formats from one file to anoter nothing will go wrong. My edition number in the footer is simply a global variable. Now the QA Department wants each chapter to have an editon number according to when changes were made. This means that some chapters have edition k, others edition l and so forth. Have you any idea of how I can have the various edition numbers in footer of each chapter page and still have the possibility of importing all formats from all files without messing things up? I want to avoid specific master pages for each chapter.

Setting an autogenerated TOC inserted by refence to condition paper
Hi I use unstructured Framemaker 7.2: I know that you can define chapter TOCs by using XREFs in a table. This is however a bit tedious when your Heading/topics move around. Right now I generate a standalone chapter TOC which I import by reference and set to condition tag Paper. It would be nice if I could avoid the last step of setting the TOC to paper and still keep the link by reference. Have yóu any idea how (apart from the xref solution) I can make sure that I or translators do not forget to set the TOC to condition tag paper?

From Framemaker to Trados: Superscript, subscript and italic

Anything new about when the next release of Framemaker will be launched?
Have you heard anything yet? My Danish vendor told me (guessed) a couple of month ago that it would be in March this year, but I don't trust this information anylonger. I am VERY curious about the new features and a bit impatient. The only rumour I have heard is that Framemaker will support Unicode. Maybe MadCap Software will be the first to launch their Blaze which sounds very interesting, and probably will be a real competitor to Framemaker.

Off topic: Helping translators with localised screen shots
My English manual with 300+ screen shots is now going to be updated and then translated into 6 languages. The screen shots are to be localized. I use SnagIt 7.2.3. I plan to give them my English manual with the English screen shots as links. The idea is that they replace the English screen shots with the localised ones. I realize that I may help the translators in different ways, so that it is easier for them to get the screen shots into Framemaker without having to rescale them. Maybe I should have 2 or 3 standard. dpi settings for imported graphics? Which ones do you suggest? For some screens I have minimized the application window before I take the screen shot in order to display all screen texts in a readable way in Framemaker. What are your guidelines for translators who are to take screen shots? What are you guidelines for importing screen shots into Framemaker?

Anchored frame positioning
Hi I have somehow changed a setting in my template so that anchored frame positioning doesn't work as intended anylonger. I select Anchoring Position "At Insertion Point", and Distance above Baseline: "0.0 pt". Sitll my frame is offset by -35 mm from the top. I cannot force the position by changing the offset positioning in "Object Properties". I suspect that this behavior has something to do with my "in column" paragraphs or my master page. If I insert the frame in the sidehead area the graphics frame is below the cursor position as it should be and not above the cursor position.

Graphics after a sidehead paragraph will not stay at anchoring position
Hi I used to insert anchored frames "at insertion point" with distance above baseline to 0.0 points. This doesn't work whenever I insert a graphics frame on a an empty "in column" line immediately after a sidehead paragraph. It works I have an inline text sentence between the sidehead and the anchor line. Is there any way to solve this?

My generated lists creates "room for sideheads"
Hi In most chapters I use sideheads, but not in the TOC, Index and Glossary. Although the master pages are set up not to have sideheads there are sideheads in the generated lists if I import the formats from my template and update the book. If I remove the sidehead from the body page and update the book the sideheads are gone. Is it the paragraph formats for the generated lists in my template that create the sideheads? How should the format be set, so that sideheads are not created?

My document "properties" in template turns sideheads on for several files where it is unwanted
Hi I just found out that when I import "Document properties" to all files in by book the sideheads are suddenly turned on in several files. TOC, Glossary, Date page, Inner front. To remove the sideheads I have to select the frame, select object properties, and unckeck the "Room for sidehead" box. I think it will work if I import all formats apart from the"Document properties" when I am updating my books.

Directory structure for manuals to translate,
Hi Do you have any improvements for my directory structure for manuals to translate into several languages: English - Graphics (corporate) - Text insets (corporate) - Product 1 - - Product 1, release xx - - - Product 1, User manual - - - - Product 1, user manual, fm files - - - - Product 1, User manual, pdf files - - - Graphics (the ones to be localised with a T in front of the name) - - - Text insets The idea is that you copy the "Product 1, User manual" folder to the language folder to be translated. You copy changed graphics and text insets to the corresponding folders in the other language folder. The "Text insets" and "Graphics" folders are presently common to the whole release and contain files that are used in several manuals. Some, but not many of them single-sourced between for example the user manual and the setup manual. "Graphics (corporate)" could actually be above the language folder as they are common to all languages. The folder contains logos, IVD symbol, CE mark etc. The "Text insets (corporate)" folder contains language-specific corporate text-insets like Warranty, Disclaimer, end user license. Currently I am considering whether I should move the Graphics and "Text insets" folders under each type of manual, i.e one graphics folder for the user manual and one for the setup manual. Also I have a problem with the two corporate folders as I have to manully point at files located at the higher levels after I have moved the files to the other language folder. I am looking forward to hearing about your directory structure.

Easiest way to rename all linked graphics without having to rescale?
Hi We have to rename all linked graphics. My plan is to 1. generate a list of linked graphics for each chapter 2. convert the list to a table with two column and writh the new graphics name in the right column 3. rename all graphics 4.

Easiest way to create a new book from a template (unstructured FM8)
My FM template contains all formats in the book. When I create a new book I take a chapter file at set it all up from there: Add front page, toc, chapters, glossary index and rear page. All set up by using specific headings to call the correct master pages. I set up the page and chapter numbering from the book and set up the Table of Contents from the "Set up Table of Contents menu". Now a Documentation group is going to use my template. They are all new to Framemaker. Can I set up a "dummy book" that they just copy to their working directory? I see that I can rename files from within the book and get links working but I cannot rename the book file itself. Is there an easy way to get the book file renamed and get the generated files like TOC, Index and Glossary working without having to set them up from scratch again? Do you have any other good ideas on how to optimize a template for group usage.

How can I avoid having to rescale linked screen shots
All my screen shots in Framemaker are linked .png. When I write a new version of the manual I simply replace all the changed screen shots with with new ones with the same name and voila all screen shots in the manual are updated. Alas, when I open Framemaker they often lloks distorted and I have to reimport or at least rescale them again. Is there a way to avoid this? I know that I from the menu Graphics, Object properties can set the scaling to 100% and restart scaling but I hope that there is an easier way to handle linked graphics.

Template conversion, framemaker native formats
I am converting an old template to a new one. Everything is to be converted including master pages and reference pages. Procedure: 1. I copy all contents into a blank document 2.

Save untitled document with old file name. Framemaker paragraphs like Bulleted, Numbered and Body suddenly were in my document. I guess I should have deleted them from my untitled document before importing the formats. Do you have an easer way of converting a fm template or is this the standard procedure?

Framemaker vs XMetal for structured authoring
Hi I currently use unstructured Framemaker for pdf output. I single-source my content - and via Webworks Publisher I output to context-sensitive help in Webworks help format. My 5 colleagues use Word and output to pdf for printing. We plan to go structured and are considering whether we should use Framemaker or XMetal. Do any of you know where I can find an unbiased comparison of the two tools? I have been told that the major disadvantage of using Framemaker is that you are required to save in binary format to keep the Framemaker-specific XML processing instructions (pls). If you store in xml-format you cannot retrieve and maintain conditional text. Callouts on drawings (the graphics tool in Framemaker) will be rasterized, and even paragraph styles can be discarded if you save a document as XML. What are the implications of sacrificing saving documents as XML? Another advantage in favor of XMetal should be that it has vendor-supported integration with most content management systems (CMS). Apparently XMetal seems to be the best choice. What are your comments?

Hi Have any of you been working with tools that grab screen shots automatically.

I just counted. My Framemaker 8 crashed more than 80 times since June last year. Framemaker 7 was so stable and robust.

FM 8 crashes again and again
Fair enough I include my system details below. I suspect that my problem has to do with the Framemaker source files as the rest is unchanged from FM version 7.2 apart from my Windows Service pack 3.

Given others' experiences, I'd guess that your problems are caused by one or more things in your environment, but you didn't provide any details. If you provide some details on your system (FM and Acrobat versions, OS, RAM, temp space) and your environment (files local or on a server, type of graphics and imported by reference or copied, and so on) I'm sure the usual suspects would be happy to generate some things to look at.

Offtopic: Trisoft CMS, what is your opinion?
I have been asked "what do you think about trisoft cms"? I don't know the product. Right now I am the only one using unstructured Framemaker. We have 5 writers who are using MS Word. Framemaker has been bought and we have a template in unstructured FM that is built up around the IMAP structure. We are considering moving to structured Framemaker and DITA. Our product manuals are translated into 22 languages. We do not have a cms system. I am the only one single-sourcing pdf and context-sensitive webhelp output. I am sure that there are many possibilities of reuse among the product manuals. Trisoft claims "Doing DITA without a CMS wouldn't be the brightest thing you ever did". What do you think? Is Trisoft the right thing for us?

Text insets repeat first paragraph
Hi When I update my text inset in the destination document I get an empty Heading 2 after the text inset. It seems that the first paragraph in the text inset is repeated after the inset.

Minimizing layout work on localised manuals using trados translation memory
Hi I work with unstructured Framemaker 8. As you all know some localised languages take up more space than others. This may result in the English source version looking OK and the translated German version needing layout work. Do you have ways to minimizd the layout work? Do you plan for additional space in columns so that the same tables can be used in serveral languages? In case of major updates of an English manual do you simply run it through the translation memory and redo the layout work on localized files? Any tips on minimizing the layout work are welcome. Can we do more to minimize layout work on translated manuals if we go structured?

finding copied graphics, another way of doing it
Hi all I searched the .mif file and found some copied graphics. However, it was difficult to loacate them. They all seemed to be in a text inset. Then I got the idea of separating the file from its linked graphics. I simply renamed the graphics folder and reopened the file. Now only the graphics that were copied into the file were displayed.

Easy way of handling conditional text
Hi I have FM8. I use several conditional text settings in my documents. The issue is that some are only used in one chapter. Some chapter may be unconditional, i.e. "paper" only, some "paper" and "online", some "release x + 1" etc. So far I have imported all conditions to all chapters even if they were not used in the chapter. If, for example, I want to set all chapters to "paper" I import conditional text settings from a chapter alreasdy set to "paper" to all chapters in the book. It works fine but it is a bit annoying having conditional text tags in chapters that do not need them. Do you have any other ways of handling conditional text.

OT: Describing software user interfaces using DITA
Hi I am looking at my software user interface and evaulating what should be tasks, comcepts and reference. Right now I am creating context-sensitive help and a paper manual (single-sourced). In my interface I can create hundreds of tasks, but they are very simple almost self-explanatory on screen. Tasks like "Printing a report", "Approving a result", "Reviewing a result" "Writing a reject comment" What is more difficult is to describe what happens behind the scene. What new features opens up for you depending on your choices. Yet another issue is that what is probably the most difficult for users to understand is typical reference information like all the symbols on different screens. They are not all intuitive and without documentation the user hasn't a clue to what is going on. Questions: Do you describe the very simple tasks? If so, how do you handle hundreds of small tasks in a paper manual? Where do you describe task-related connections between features? Where do you place reference information that is necessary for the user to know? Are there any good examples of DITA doumentation that illustrate my issues?

Replacing special character "single quote"
Hello Our Trados translator has inserted single quotes in stead of double quotes in the destination source. This results in the text look strange in Framemaker as the single quote is probably considered a control character in Framemaker. How do I search and replace the single quote with a double quote? The search function doesn't find anything when I copy the single quote into to find box and click search. Is there a way to search for special characters such as the single quote.
