Mif2Go will do that (www.omsys.com). Or, if you have FrameScript, there
are scripts that will do it.

Re: Numbering question

[Angela Provan]

Thanks everyone for your help! I got it working.

2009/2/24 Angela Provan angela.pro...@maptek.com.au

 Hi All,

 I have a quick question about simple numbering options. I am creating a
 doco with numbered paragraphs i.e.

 2
 2.1
 2.1.1

 2.2
 2.2.1

 I have set these as heading 1, heading 2 and heading 3 but having
 difficulty with the numbering.
 I'm still new to FM and therefore fumbling my way through it so any help
 would be greatly appreciated!

 Thanks

Using wickies

[Richard Geiger]

Our Honeywell doc group is currently using Frame 7.1, but we're considering 
using a wicki as a doc review center.  Have any of you used a wicki as a 
joint-authorship medium--that is, have reviewers and/or customers actually 
collaborate on the same wicki file that eventually becomes the finished wicki 
(not Frame) document?

FrameMaker 8 behavior

[Thomas Scalise]

Esteemed colleagues,

 

I am using FrameMaker 8.0 p273. The program seems very jittery. It flashes at 
me from time to time, and the screen will occasionally go white when I click 
and drag an item. The screen-going-white behavior also occurs when I Save 
as... to create a PDF. It seems to be working okay other than these little 
tics. But, they raise a concern on my mind that something isn't right and may 
rise up at an inopportune moment to bite me in the butt. 

 

Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Re: Using wickies

[Art Campbell]

I've only used a wiki review process a couple times, but it was way
clunky, at least from the writer's point of view. As far as editing it
up to a documentation standard for customer distribution goes, you
certainly could do it with enough time and cycles... probably more
cycles than in a doc publishing environment because the writing and
editing tools aren't as sophisticated.


If I were you, or Honeywell, I'd look at using Acrobat to conduct
shared reviews because it's much easier to manage and more productive.
As well as generating an audit trail of the comments and their
disposition.

Unless you're really wedded to vintage software, FM 9 in combo with
Acrobat lets you conduct the review in Acrobat and then import the
comments back into Frame for the edit cycle.

***
And of course you have the option of exporting from Frame to a format
that can be integrated into a wiki and form the core of the doc.

Just my $.02.

Cheers,
Art

RE: FrameMaker 8 behavior

Hi Tom,

In this case, it would be particularly helpful to know the details of your
system. OS make and model (e.g. XP SP3), amount of RAM and the processor on
your computer (e.g., P4 3.2 GHz). Once we have that, the learned folks (not
me) can more easily address your question.

Because it sounds like a display problem (not a FM problem, so far),

Resizing reference pages in FM 8

[Hedley Finger]

All:

I am developing a new template by recycling an old template.  The new 
template has a different page size and, although all the format names 
are the same, the format definitions are different.

How surprising to find that the first reference page had acquired the 
new page size but all the other ref pages still had the old template's 
page size.  I saved the partly customised template to MIF, opened it in 
Notepad++ (it supports Unicode) and changed all the PageSize 210.0 mm 
297.0 mm lines in the ReferencePage definitions to PageSize 150.0 mm 
225.0 mm, then saved the template.mif file.

Opening the MIF file in FM 8 now showed reference pages (other than the 
first, which was correct) were now dimensioned 150 mm High x 210 mm 
Wide.   So where is the MIF file (or FM) remembering one dimension but 
applying the other incorrectly?  Note that page width precedes page 
height in a PageSize ... statement for BodyPage, MasterPage, and 
ReferencePage elements.

Probably not a high priority for Adobe to fix but it sure confuses the 
users when they are confronted by this departure from the page sizes 
elsewhere in the template.  Any explanations welcome, the wilder the better.

Regards,
Hedley

FrameMaker 8 behavior

[Thomas Scalise]

Esteemed colleagues,



I am using FrameMaker 8.0 p273. The program seems very jittery. It flashes at 
me from time to time, and the screen will occasionally go white when I click 
and drag an item. The screen-going-white behavior also occurs when I "Save 
as..." to create a PDF. It seems to be working okay other than these little 
tics. But, they raise a concern on my mind that something isn't right and may 
rise up at an inopportune moment to bite me in the butt. 



Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Using wickies

[Art Campbell]

I've only used a wiki review process a couple times, but it was way
clunky, at least from the writer's point of view. As far as editing it
up to a documentation standard for customer distribution goes, you
certainly could do it with enough time and cycles... probably more
cycles than in a doc publishing environment because the writing and
editing tools aren't as sophisticated.


If I were you, or Honeywell, I'd look at using Acrobat to conduct
shared reviews because it's much easier to manage and more productive.
As well as generating an audit trail of the comments and their
disposition.

Unless you're really wedded to vintage software, FM 9 in combo with
Acrobat lets you conduct the review in Acrobat and then import the
comments back into Frame for the edit cycle.

***
And of course you have the option of exporting from Frame to a format
that can be integrated into a wiki and form the core of the doc.

Just my $.02.

Cheers,
Art

FrameMaker 8 behavior

[Lea Rush]

Hi Tom,

In this case, it would be particularly helpful to know the details of your
system. OS make and model (e.g. XP SP3), amount of RAM and the processor on
your computer (e.g., P4 3.2 GHz). Once we have that, the learned folks (not
me) can more easily address your question.

Esteemed colleagues,



I am using FrameMaker 8.0 p273. The program seems very jittery. It flashes
at me from time to time, and the screen will occasionally go white when I
click and drag an item. The screen-going-white behavior also occurs when I
"Save as..." to create a PDF. It seems to be working okay other than these
little tics. But, they raise a concern on my mind that something isn't right
and may rise up at an inopportune moment to bite me in the butt. 



Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Book to .mif plugin

[Lin Sims]

And let's not forget Bruce Foster's MifSave plugin, which is only $10.

FrameMaker 8 behavior

While you're poking around gathering system info

If I were you, I'd make sure that you have the latest & greatest
drivers for your video card loaded.

Because it sounds like a display problem (not a FM problem, so far),
that would be the first thing to check and update.
