[Framers] RFP for seriously unglamorous (but potentially rewarding) Framemaker conversion work

2016-05-24 Thread Carol J. Elkins
I am looking for a very hungry Frame user who is willing to do some mind-numbing copy/paste work from a 750-page PDF/Word doc written in Spanish into an unstructured Framemaker template to overwrite the equivalent paragraph of English text. It is a paragraph-by-paragraph copy/paste job but

Friends, I have now asked the author of the purchased script. Here is his answer: « The reason I copyright my scripts is so that people don't resell them as is or give copies to others. However, you are free to modify the code and use it in your own scripts as you have done. Yours is

Hi, all Adding a copyright to source code or scripts (i.e., to any original work) does not _actually_ prevent people from selling or copying that work or using it for other purposes. What a copyright does is establish ownership rights in that piece of work. These ownership rights can then be

Hi Monique... *If* you're working with DITA and *if* you're using DITA-FMx .. you're in luck! FMx has an option to do just that (as well as the same for smart quotes). But I'm thinking that this doesn't help your current situation. :o My only remotely useful suggestion would be to create

[Framers] smart spaces - selectively disabling ?

2016-05-24 Thread Monique Semp

Short story/theory: * Resetting the workspace might fix things with respect to non-responsive pods. Long story: All of a sudden yesterday, the FrameMaker 2015 pods, which have been stable and placed in the same positions/tab groups for months and months (on the right: top tab group for the

Hi Scott, Yep, you know it—I'm not using DITA, structured Frame, or DITA-FMx :-(. But I was just typing up a reply to the list, that corroborates your info: I've received an offlist reply with a FrameScript to toggle the smart spaces on and off, so that's what I'll do (when I get to it, and
