Actually, I put a legend on the cover. He didn't like flipping back and forth, and he found too many colors on the same page to be headache-inducing. On Fri, Nov 18, 2016 at 3:41 PM, Robert Lauriston wrote: > Could you do what you need by having an .fm file that has a

Re: [Framers] Toggling Condition Indicators Individually

There hasn't been a need to include this kind of information before, and I'm the only one in the company with this need now. Plus, the conditions in use change depending on the IP and the customers, so including info in the style guide (we do have one!) won't help, alas. Without even meaning to,

Good reminder, Fred!. There's something warm and fuzzy when a long-dormant FM feature gets recognized for its current usefulness. Thanks. My point in suggesting the non-main-content area was intended to make the non-printing memory-jogging material always visible to authors, but not in

Re: [Framers] Toggling Condition Indicators Individually

But I wasn't suggesting it as a solution for your problem, Lin. I was only trying to head off listmembers getting the wrong impression from Peter's post. A FrameMaker template actually has *lots* of space where information can be added to make it self-documenting, and I can personally attest

Wow. All those years I spent using FrameMaker all day, every day at work and I never knew you could use it as a text editor. On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 12:40 PM, Peter Gold wrote: > To open a MIF file in FM as plain text, press and hold Shift (or Ctrl) when > choosing
