Working on a joint FM doc
I need to work with another colleague on an FM book. We probably don't need to use the same chapters, but definitely need to create CRs within the book from my chapters to hers. We are not currently using any check-in/check-out system. What is the best way to enable our co-working on one book?

Re: Compatibility of old(ish) Software with Windows 7
That's a false generalization. The 4MB in my several Windows systems is twice as much as I have ever needed. On the Mac I'm testing large-footprint server software in multiple VMs, so 8GB is cramped, but if I could swap my Mac for had two real PCs running 32-bit Linux with 4GB each I'd have better performance with fewer compatibility problems at a lower price.

Re: TCS 5 no box version sold
I think the only software I've bought on disc in years is TurboTax, which in some years is cheaper at Costco than downloaded, and Native Instruments Komplete 9, which is not available as a download because it takes up 12 DVDs. Other than that, FrameMaker 6 might be the last product I bought on disc.

She said that the product is not being made available except by download (i.e. no box version). I really like the idea of having a DVD, but I guess I'm old fashioned. They can be handy if you need to install a copy in an emergency while in some out of the way place away from the Internet. And the concreteness of the DVD makes me feel like I actually own something. I suppose you could burn the download to a disk for such use. Is that what people do now? I'd appreciate feedback on this from early adopters.

RE: Compatibility of old(ish) Software with Windows 7
Well, your experience does not generalize for everybody though ... most people do not use old programs that don't work in 64-bit installations of Windows 7. On a 32-bit Windows OS installation, having more than 4GB is, of course, wasted memory. Since it would never be accessed regardless of need. For me, the only issues I encountered was finding some drivers for some 10 to 15 year old hardware (like a slide scanner), and in most cases, I have alternatives now. And, today, most new systems (like laptops) provide or have 64-bit versions available ... and the _standard_ memory available is sometimes 8GB (for powerful laptops, for example) and Windows 64-bit is standard on them as a consequence.

Re: Cannot insert the infinity symbol and other special character
And if this isn't too late to the party: Alt+236 produces the infinity symbol in the Arial font. Ctrl+q+4 produces the infinity symbol in the Symbol font (looks a bit bolded compared to Arial). On Mon, Feb 17, 2014 at 3:59 AM, Davis, David david.da...@invensys.comwrote: Fei Min, there's a bit of confusion going on here! When you say... it is Unicode 221E, but perhaps all that information is obsolete now The Unicode standard is not obsolete, it is alive and well at http://www.unicode.org :) It is not something defined by Adobe FrameMaker or Microsoft Windows. In any case, I tried holding down Alt while I pressed +221e The Windows operating system doesn't give you access to Unicode characters by that method, so that's why that didn't work! :) The utility bundled with Windows to get to them is the venerable Character Map tool (quickest way to launch it is press Windows+R, type charmap and press return, and up it pops...) Its search function is not very good though, and it doesn't show you the characters unless the currently-selected font has a glyph for it - a bit useless, really. If you want something a bit more rigorous and heavy duty for finding exotic Unicode characters, I'd recommend the free Babel Map utility http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html Your method of cutting-and-pasting the character you want from Word isn't so very wrong though! - with either Character Map or Babel Map, that is still the method you have to use: find your character in the utility, then copy and paste it into Frame. (The reason in may go wrong in Word is because Word might be showing a character using a 'Dingbat' font, which substitutes a different glyph for a different character... so when Frame renders that character with a different font, you don't get the glyph you were expecting). -- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 19:33:50 + From: Fei Min Lorente feimin.lore...@onsemi.com To: framers@lists.frameusers.com framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Cannot insert the infinity symbol and other special character problems Message-ID: 422cbc2f0af7d24985d811d2e556f3f00ea9a...@onwater54m.ad.onsemi.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I'm working in FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7 and I cannot insert the infinity symbol.

Re: Working on a joint FM doc
In my experience, inserting a cross-reference in one .fm file with a target in another .fm file makes changes in both files, so when another writer was working on the target file, I inserted a placeholder and added the cross-reference later, when the file was unlocked.

Subject: TCS 5 no box version sold
I keep all downloaded software and updates on a separate hard drive in my desktop system and a backup on an external hard drive that I can also use with my laptop. More convenient and faster to load than a DVD. Actually I have 3 drives in my desktop system -- a 250GB SSD that holds my OS and software, a 1TB hard drive that holds active work files, and a 3TB hard drive that holds my photos, work archive, and software archive. The laptop doesn't have a DVD drive so using an external hard drive makes more sense anyway (Acer V5-171, really a cross between laptop, netbook and ultrabook -- 11.6 screen, i5 processor, 8GB RAM, replaceable 500GB hard drive, removable battery).
