ON-SCREEN GUIDES

Hello there, does anyone know of a utility that would put guides on my screen. To explain: Frame doesn't have any guides and at times it's needed. Any advanced software - Photoshop, Indesign, etc. has rules (or guides) which you can just drag around and place wherever you need and align your

Re: ON-SCREEN GUIDES

My workaround has been to make lines (.5pt) in Cyan and then delete them when I have finished aligning to them. A more dangerous approach would be to apply a special color tag to the lines that you could then change to white or your background color. I would add guides to the wishlist for next

Frame Error while importing mif

I have a client importing a .mif and she is getting an error: Line 2488 # Char out of range: 13. This I believe is causing frame to crash on her PC. This looks like information coming into a table. I opened the file on an OS9 mac and was able to see what the error was and import the mif

Hi Michael, Have you tried showing grid lines (View Grid lines)? The default is quarter inch, but you can set the spacing to suit your needs (View Options). You can then use the Gravity and Snap commands on the Graphics menu to help align. I must confess, though, that like others on the list, I

Yes, you are right with InDesign. I'm using it too. My workflow is all around Frame though and I'm having to cope it somehow. Ever so often I have certain objects that have to be scaled and placed based on their look, not digital size and that is where guides come handy. I set off on a small

TCS version of FM8 crashes repeatedly

Hi everybody, I recently installed the TCS (original version) on my new company laptop (Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad T61P, XPSP2, 2.2GHz, 160GB HDD, 2GB RAM). FM crashes repeatedly on any FM file that has unavailable fonts (same error message and memory dump every time, and I have the dump). Uninstalling

why am I having missing fonts in FM8, and how to correct?

Hello: I know FM8 uses unicode, rather than PS fonts as before, but in an entire group of 10+ writers, some of us are getting font errors, and some are not, now that we're all using the ATCS. Further, many of the errors are for things like Helvetica, which is there anyway! Is there a

FrameMaker 8 continues to support use of Type 1 fonts (I assume that is what you mean by PS fonts) as well as TrueType and OpenType fonts. The character set of the Type 1 fonts are mapped into Unicode. You don't say what type of font errors you are getting (missing fonts? mismapped characters?
