I am not sure if this is still relevant to you but.. You can use a batch converter to do this. Snagit has a batch converter to convert from bmp to gif Macromedia Fireworks also has I am sure others do too. You can download an evaluation version of Snagit from Techsmith.com. Caroline?Tabach

autonumbering with line break?

Hi Egwin, You can't use these building blocks in an autonumber to get the effect that you want. You can use a bunch of spaces at the end of the autonumber to force the text to the next line, but that may have side-effects that you don't want. Or, you can use two separate paragraphs. Rick

Way Too Much Corruption

Thanks to all for thoughtful comments. Here's what else I can add: 1. Yes, the name.backup.fm files were also corrupt. 2. I'm running Windows XP SP-2 and FM 7.1. 3. The problems all appear to be on a network folder -- and affect FM, Acrobat, Word, and Publisher files. 4. I was able to work on

If you se the "Add Adobe PDF Settings" command that Rene mentions, it doesn't matter where the original .joboptions file is actually located as long as each user knows how to browse to it. I put our group's standard customized .joboptions files on a network drive and instruct each writer how to

Quick Context-sensitive question

In using WWP, I have found that if I put the same TopicAlias marker text in multiple places in the FM file, the help call doesn't know which one to show. I can use multiple keys to point to a single TopicAlias in a single place in the FM file, so that several screens call the same help topic. I

Headings (con't) in FM 7.2?

I would think that putting the heading into the header or footer would be the usual thing here. At least it seems that the big ones (companies) have not come up with a solution and some of them don't even make use of FM's Table Continuation variable but rather stick to the old typewriting concept!

OT: Is Acrobat Professional 8 shipping?

My employer's supplier says that Acrobat Professional 8 is not shipping yet (as of 20 Nov). Is this true? I've had an order in since October. I'm told I have to buy and install 7 and update it to 8 when that becomes available! Regards...Chris

Headings (con't) in FM 7.2?

Indeed, I also think that a Running H/F is the best mechanism to do this. This is how I do it: 1. I create a Left and Right master page with a separate background frame for the Running Header/Footer. 2. The Running H/F looks like this: <$paratext[parttitle,chaptertitle,sectiontitle,maptitle]>,

Egwin, An autonumber cannot contain a line break. Is your document structured? If so, you can put a line break in a prefix. --Lynne At 06:19 AM 11/8/2006, Egwin wrote: >Hello Framers, > >I work with FrameMaker 7.0 on Windows XP platform. >In my document i would like to autonumber

I downloaded the eval of 8 and it's running. (Fine BTW; no problems at all.) There were options to pay for it both on the page and when it boots, which I've ignored so far. But I'll go ahead and upgrade after the 30-day period. So, yes, I think it's shipping at least in download form -- maybe not

Intel Mac Findings

FileMaker 8.5 is Intel native. Other major programs include QuarkXPress 7 and Acrobat 8. As mentioned, you will have to wait for CS3 for Intel native apps for the rest or the Adobe suite. I believe it will be around April or May. If you don't like rebooting to run FrameMaker, take a look at

ToolBox from Systec will delete unused variables. http://www.systec-gmbh.com/en/sites/toolbox.php Download the installer, and then do not select any of the modules to install. What installs at that point is the "free" utilities, which include the option to delete unused: - Paragraph Formats -

autonumbering with line break?

Actually .. one way I've seen this done is to use a tab followed by a space (the space is important) at the end of your autonumber string, then change the tab position for that paragraph style to be the width of your text frame. This forces it to wrap with minimal problems. ...scott Scott
