Re: [Framers] Mif wash .book files

To open a MIF file in FM​ as plain text, press and hold Shift (or Ctrl) when choosing Open, then choose Text in the dialog box that appears. (Working from long-unused human memory experience.) See: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/8.0/help.html?content=Chap2-FrameMaker-Basics_099.html

[Framers] Toggling Condition Indicators Individually

Earlier I got excellent advice on how to build conditional expressions. I'm hoping someone here has thoughts on the above. This question actually concerns the same set of files with 8 or 10 different condition tags in it. My boss has a hard time remembering what each condition indicator is

Re: [Framers] Toggling Condition Indicators Individually

Have you thought of displaying these and other useful reminders, hints, keys, legends, indicators, etc., in header/footer or other non-main-content areas on master pages? You can contain them in anchored frames whose parent paragraph was conditionalized so that a single show/hide command would be

Re: [Framers] Toggling Condition Indicators Individually

I hadn't, but in my case it won't work. There isn't enough white space in the standard template to do this, and I'm not allowed to play with page layout. There's a corporate-mandated template we all use. On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 4:56 PM, Peter Gold wrote: > Have you

No. Corruption is because of the missing BOM(see my last post). That is only one Byte that you can't see in normal view Am 17.11.2016 um 21:14 schrieb Robert Lauriston: You could find out exactly how Notepad is corrupting the file by opening a MIF, saving a copy, and using the FC command to

It's easy to check if Notepad is the issue. Save as .mif, open in Notepad, save a copy, open the copy in FrameMaker. ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at

Re: [Framers] Mif wash .book files

Are you able to open the MIF file *before* you make your deletions? If so, I'd have to guess that something is happening in the MIF editing that is not kosher and is, in fact, corrupting the file. Have you tried using any other text editor besides Notepad? It would be good to eliminate that

2016-11-17-04T19:00Z Fred - You're onto something here. Right after I saved the file as .mif, I _was_ able to open it with FrameMaker. The only other "plain-text editor" I have conveniently available is WordPad, so I used that to delete only offending color definitions. I _was_ able to

2016-11-17-04T20:00Z Steve - Thanks for that peek into the arcana of ASCII files:  I learned something there. To further the test, I opened the .mif file with SyncRO Soft XML Editor, saved the file as a copy, and opened the copy with FrameMaker.  Then I used XML Editor to delete some cruft

Re: [Framers] Toggling Condition Indicators Individually

Here's my suggestion: Create a document for each display you need. In that documents, redefine the conditions so that all are black (not As Is) and the one has a color. Then Import Condition Settings from one of those docs to your doc. Pat Christenson -Original Message- From: Framers
