Text insets repeat first paragraph
Hi When I update my text inset in the destination document I get an empty Heading 2 after the text inset. It seems that the first paragraph in the text inset is repeated after the inset. So far the only solution I have found is to have an empty paragraph with a thin line above the Heading 2 in the text inset. Have you come up with a better solution?

Re: Text insets repeat first paragraph
Hi Verner This happens because your paragraph after the text inset is empty. So, 2 solutions: - If there is text following the text inset, remove the empty paragraph. - If there is no text following the text inset, for example if the text inset is at the end of your text flow, put a non-breaking space (CTRL+spacebar) in the paragraph. You can then update the text inset to your heart's content. ;-) Cheers -- Yves Barbion • Managing Director • Adobe-Certified FrameMaker Instructor www.scripto.nu • skype: yves.barbion • T: +32 494 12 01 89 On Tue, May 5, 2009 at 8:46 AM, Andersen, Verner Engell VEA verner.ander...@radiometer.dk wrote: Hi When I update my text inset in the destination document I get an empty Heading 2 after the text inset.

FM9 - Replace Font option
I just discovered that FM 9 has a 'replace font' option or Pod. Using this option, a (missing) font can be replaced. From what I read on the Adobe web site it should be a replacement for the former maker.ini modifications as used for FM up to FM8, to (temporarely) replace a non available font. But as the maker.ini modification only virtually replaces a font, it seems that this 'replace font' option definitely replaces the font - it changes the character and paragraph formats and these are saved when saving the file. Any one knows if this is by design, is it a 'bug' or is there a not yet documented escape after replacing the fonts?

Framers Digest, Vol 43, Issue 3
Verner We no longer use Frame, but perhaps our experiences are similar. We have about 10,000 html files in English, localizing into 12 languages, so we have over 100,000 files to manage. We don't currently have a lot of re-use. Over a year ago we started using XMetaL DITA to author all new content. We have started slowly migrating html to xml, which will take years. We recently purchased a CMS after a lengthy search. Our reasons are highly driven by Translation requirements. Our processes are very manual to get source to translation. So our big savings we hope to achieve in efficiency improvements. With the xml, we also hope to leverage more re-use as we go. The major goal is to maximize our source for localization. So somewhere down the road I hope we can implement a source style guide /copy editor to link our TM to our source. SDL GAMS (authorassistant) and acrolinx are the two applications I'm aware of. We did hire a consultant to guide us when we moved from html to xml and this was reassuring to make sure our own research was validated. In my opinion, that was a worthwhile expense. We did the search for a CMS vendor on our own. I might be able to send you a slide presentation one of my colleagues just presented at the CMS conference in florida last week. She presented on how we chose our cms vendor in 11 weeks. Let me know if you would like this and I will ask her to send you a copy. Joe Campo DS SolidWorks Concord, MA USA -Original Message- 2.

Our situation: * 4200 English source pages to convert, * no multi-channel output, * releatively small possibility of reuse, approximately 30% (if we can use conditions) * translation into more than 20 languages. We have Trados translation memory and the company is going to implement Master Control, a document control sw system. I know, it is now that we should discuss the situation with an unbiased consultant! We have already contacted one consultant. They had a very large system in mind, which was also used in the car industry and companies producing cell phones. Such a system would cost hundres of thousands of dollars. As I understand it, you only get real value out of structured Framemaker if you have a CMS system. Are there other content management systems that can do the job and be integrated with a translation memory system?
