Is there a video demonstrating Word vs Framemaker?

2012-09-17 Thread Carol J. Elkins
Has anyone run across a video that compares Framemaker features to MSWord? It would be a great way to quickly educate potential clients about the benefits of migrating their documents to Framemaker. If you know of such a resource, please share the URL. Carol

Stuart: I noodled around a bit on the net and Myriad Pro doesn't actually seem to be a Unicode font. So then I went to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_fonts#List_of_Unicode_fonts). Myriad Pro is not included on their list of Unicode fonts. That isn't necessarily definitive,

FM 11 somewhat disappointing. Am I alone?

Dear Framers: I felt so bad about my previous criticisms re FM 9 that I went out and splurged on TCS4. Let me start by saying there are some nice features and a marginal improvement in stability in FM11. The pods for example, seem better behaved. The PGF does not get tired and hide. The margins

The notation with a colon is correct: <$attribute[attributename:elementname]> Meanwhile I saved both the TOC and one chapter as MIF and had a look at the MIF source. In the chapter file, there is an element named DBookElementHierarchy, which contains information about the of the book root element

No, in some cases I use maps in RoboHelp or MIF2Go, in others I use text insets in files with different definitions of the paragraph tags. On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 at 1:36 PM, Craig Ede wrote: > You can change the paragraph formats by importing templates with different > formats without using

Interesting. The Unicode character is 2610, Myriad Pro has that character, but it doesn't show up in FM10 for me either. Same version of Windows. I'd call Adobe support. On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 2:31 PM, Stuart Rogers wrote: > FM 10.0.2.419, Win7pro 64-bit > > I am trying to enter a checkmark

Hi Rob I love the XML features of FM11, which was the real reason why I bought it for use at home. At work I have a subscription for TCS4. I've experienced some problems too: FM11 takes forever to print to PDF, whatever method I use. Book files that used to print in less than 10 minutes in
