Do not blame the rays. To avoid burning eye syndrome, it is very important to
follow a few basic rules.

Hi,
We are starting to use text insets. The inset file has cross refs to
figures or tables within the text inset. When the inset is imported by
reference, these cross refs don't work.
We found an article that explained how to apply hypertext commands

Hi Everyone,
I have to convert my HTML files into FrameMaker files. I tried converting
the HTML files into word document and then imported it into FrameMaker. It

use FrameScript (http://www.framescript.com) to help you with the cleanup.
If you are interested in some scripting help, please contact me offlist.
Thank you very much.

I think you can do most of the conversion yourself, if you're just
talking about standard paragraph formats (HTML's H1 to a Frame
Heading1, for instance) and character formats (Italic to Emphasis, or
Strong to Bold).
Pick up one of the several paragraph mapping tools, set up a map
table, and

The MSWord numbering feature is actually pretty good once you learn how
to use it. The hard part is just that, learning how to properly use it
because it is definitely not intuitive (read: stupidly designed). After

Sorry, but I have to disagree. The huge amount of on-line discussion by people
