Hi,
When I place the cursor in a paragraph, its tag name should be displayed
in the Tags dropdown list - at least, that's what it always did in
previous versions. I'm now using FM 7.1 and only rarely does the tag
name change to reflect the new tag. Has anyone else encountered this?
TIA.
After successfully avoiding structured Frame for the last 14 or 15
years, I now have a client who wants me to get DocBook xml produced from
his product's code into Frame. The end result is to be used for a number
of manuals and pushed through WebWorks ePublisher Pro.
While my reservations

Hi Bernard
Thanks for ultra-rapid and comprehensive response, and Yves Barbion, Paul
Wilbraham and John Posada too. Structure doesn't seem quite so scary with you
guys around ;-)
I think the big issue is to know what the structure of this is. For example,
do you have something like:
Fig

Whatever is contained within the anchored frame is isolated from the main
structured flow.
I suggest you take the figure title element out of the anchored frame and
format it as a paragraph.
For example, if you used the following structure:
Figure
Graphic
Title
The Figure

I have a whole slew of assorted docs with a ton of information on

If the frame anchor paragraph is made tiny, it looks
as if you've selected only the anchored frame.

Hello,
Our development team uses Continuus source control software. They would like
the tech pub team to use it to. I thougt that Continuus was aimed at developers
rather than tech writers ... Is there anyone with experience of that tool with
Framemaker ?
Thanks for any input on that matter.
I am currently placing figure titles in a text frame within the figure's
anchored frame to lock the two in the required relative positions. I cannot see
that it is possible, however, to specify this in an EDD. Is there any way of
doing this, perhaps by somehow automatically inserting a named

Hello Steve,
you could also encapsulate the graphic in a dedicated table, for example
a table which consists of 2 rows (and which has no ruling): a
heading row for the graphic itself and a body row for the figure title.
This will give you more control over the "relative positions", but also

Hi, Fred...never said it didn't. After all, it is a paragraph tag, so
it must be a paragraph. However, in my case, my achored from is
designated as "at insertion point" and I shrinkwrap all my graphics
(esc m p). To me, it doesn't matter that it is a paragraph attribute

Well, I was about to say... ;-)

Hi.
I am trying to import our data model, which is generated and saved as XML,
into FrameMaker. I created a structured application, complete with DTD and
template.
The process works, but for some reason a hard return appears after every
element. If I open the Structured View, I can see a
The Sort command in my Table dropdown menu is grayed out. No matter
what I do I can't make it available for use. Is there something
simple that I'm forgetting, or do I need to reinstall Frame? I use
Frame 7.0p578 on Win2K.
Thanks,
Doug
I'll ask the obvious question - is your insertion point inside a table?

Yes, my insertion point is inside the table. When I do it on my
co-worker's PCs, sort is available for use. When I do it on mine, it
remains grayed out.

Grasping a different straw: Did you move, delete, or rename

Check if the XML is tab delimited for indents. If so, try to blow them away and
see what that does...
