RE: Frame/InDesign

Hi Martin, Just to clarify following on from Steve's email below, InDesign (both CS4 and CS5) does now have conditional text, cross-referencing, text variables and has had table editing for quite some time. Also, by changing a program preference it can import by reference Word and Excel files

Sudden Weird Appendix Numbering in Book (trying to release today)

FM 9 Version: 9.0p255 Unstructured OS: XP Pro with SP3 FM Experience: 19 months This book has worked well for me before, but with this release I've added a new appendix and the numbering behaviour I'm getting is very strange. I had 3 appendices but have added a new one (inserted as Appendix C,

RE: Sudden Weird Appendix Numbering in Book (trying to release today)

I've just had a eureka moment - although I still have problem. The contents of the new Appendix C consist of an excerpt from a legal document that covers details on system warranties. As such, I needed to keep the numbering consistent with the actual document. All the excerpted parts are from

Does Acrobat 9 work with FrameMaker 7.0?

I have used Acrobat 6 with FrameMaker 7.0 for years but I am getting a Windows 7 PC. Our company uses Acrobat 9, so I will probably have to upgrade. Will FM 7 work with later versions of Acrobat? Thanks, Ed Lightle Sr. Technical Writer Command Alkon +1-614-799-0600 EXT. 5225

RE: Indexing front matter

Hi Nancy, This suggestion is sent only because you solicited all suggestions in your appeal. You might consider assigning a Text format to your preface file so that the page numbers appear as something similar to: Preface - 1, Preface - 2, Preface - 3 P - 1, P - 2, P - 3 Or something

Re: Does anyone know of an efficient way to convert paragraph-based xrefs to element-based xrefs?

A standard conversion table does that. It creates the required ID values in an attribute named Id and does not add any filename information; I understand it creates this Id attribute for every Cross-Ref marker found. The next step would be West Steet Consulting's plug-in Xref Wizard if you have

Does anyone know of an efficient way to convert paragraph-based xrefs to element-based xrefs?

What would happen if you created a minimal conversion table that ONLY converted XRefs to elements? Just wondering... I might work, or it might make an tangled mess out of your document. The other thing to do would be a script or plug-in that does this for you. It sould take maybe 4 or 5
