Comparing WebWorks versions
Hi Eileen, I recently used Sourcerer 1.11 with FrameMaker 7.2 and it worked fine. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Ideally, we'd like to upgrade to the latest version of all software, including FrameMaker v7.2 and WebWorks ePublisher Pro. However, Sourcerer (which we absolutely rely on) does not yet support FrameMaker v7.2. So for now we'll stick with Frame v7.1.

unavailable figures make Frame crash
Hello, we have the following problem on a couple of machines, with different documents: If, on opening a file with missing figures, the user chooses to skip this (and possibly all other figures), Frame crashes. Occurs on some machines, not all of them. Frame is +SGML 5.5.6, Windows is 2000 or XP. Any ideas why, and how to fix this? Thanks in advance. -- cheers, Jakob.
Two Frame Issues
When I click the Format menu option in FrameMaker, the Font, Size, and Style options are available. Obviously this can lead to applying format overrides. I believe someone has created a plug-in that will disable and/or remove these options...can someone remind me what the name of it is? Also, sometimes when I use Notepad to edit my Maker.ini file, it becomes corrupted. The EOL markers seem to vanish, the whole thing becomes a jumble, and Frame doesn't work properly until I restore an uncorrupted version of the file. What's up with this/ Thanks, Doug

I recently came across this in someone who didn't fully grasp the idea of constructors in the TOC flow on the reference pages. And it's hard to explain to them why it's not a good idea, because it works, sort of ;-) Murray: as other have said, FrameMaker can add numbering to any para for you automatically, then pick up the text and the number of the para for use in the TOC. You do the former by setting up the numbering in the paragraph's Numbering dialog in the Paragraph Constructor, and the latter by correctly defining the corresponding paragraph tag on the reference page of the generated TOC file that contains the TOC flow (see Bernard's mail). -- Steve

My team is using structured FrameMaker v7.1, Sourcerer v1.11, and WebWorks Publisher v7.0.6 to create single-source documents to output for different audiences and media (including print, PDF, and HTML). Ideally, we'd like to upgrade to the latest version of all software, including FrameMaker v7.2 and WebWorks ePublisher Pro. However, Sourcerer (which we absolutely rely on) does not yet support FrameMaker v7.2. So for now we'll stick with Frame v7.1. Two of our team members are about to learn how to use WebWorks Publisher Pro to create and modify templates. (Current team members know only how to apply existing WWP templates.) However, at least one vendor I've consulted no longer offers training on WebWorks Publisher Pro version 7; it's simply too old. I'm wondering if we should upgrade to WebWorks Publisher Pro 2003 or WebWorks ePublisher Pro. There is one downside to upgrading: While our desktop publishers will have WebWorks Publisher Pro, our authors will have only the WebWorks Standard v7 that is included with purchase of FrameMaker. We previously found that if we created templates in WWP Pro 2003, authors using WWP Standard 7 couldn't output HTML using those templates. (That's why we "downgraded" our WebWorks Pro licenses to version 7.) Having authors capable of outputting their own HTML is a luxury for us, but not an absolute need. So, Framers, this is where I'd like to benefit from your experience and advice. - Have you used WebWorks ePublisher Pro? Do you find it offers significant enhancements over prior versions of WebWorks Publisher Pro? Is it compatible with FrameMaker version 7.1? - Do you see a significant advantage in using WebWorks Publisher Pro 2003 as compared to WebWorks Publisher Pro version 7? - Do you have other thoughts on our situation or lessons learned from your experiences with different WebWorks Publisher versions?

AW: batch-upgrading documents 5.5.6 to 7.2?
Hi, > >So, to restate my question, is there a "silent option" to open files > >created in a previous version in 7.x? You might test Mif2Go. It has a feature to "Wash via MIF" which works also on book files and in demo mode. The description in the help file is below. Best regards Winfried --- Clean a single file To clean a FrameMaker binary file: with the file open and active, on the FrameMaker File menu click Wash Via MIF. Mif2Go does the following: 1. Saves the file as MIF with extension .tmb (for Temporary MIF Backup), to avoid conflict with any existing MIF file of the same name. 2. Closes the file without saving. 3. Opens the .tmb MIF file. 4. Saves the .tmb MIF file as .fm. 5. Deletes the .tmb MIF file. Clean all files in a book To clean all files in a FrameMaker book: with the book file active, hold down the Shift key, and on the FrameMaker File menu click Wash All Files in Book Via MIF. Mif2Go processes each file in the book as described for Wash Via MIF, afterward closing any file that was not open in the first place. Back-up copies are saved first If you have set up FrameMaker to save back-up files, when you "wash" files via MIF, Mif2Go saves the previous .fm or .book file as filename.backup.fm or filename.backup.book.

FM driving me crazy!
FWIW, the technique I use and have disseminated to all the other writers in my group is this: - in the same directory as your book file, make a copy of each generated file template using the expected name (for example, booknameTOC.fm and booknameLOF.fm) - use the book file's "Add" menu to add the generation details (tags to collect, etc.) for each type of generated file; when FrameMaker prompts you to update the book after adding each of these file, decline that option. - when all generated files have been added, update the book It saves the time it takes to do the initial update/generate pass, which can be substantial for large books or documents that have graphics pasted into them instead of referenced.

batch-upgrading documents 5.5.6 to 7.2?
Hello, well, we've almost finished our migration software-wise, now we need to convert several hundreds documents to the new version. instead of opening each and every file manually, being told that it's a version 5 document, and agreeing to have it updated by clicking the OK button in the dialogue box, isn't there a "silent" way of opening/upgrading files? I wouldn't mind doing it on a per-book basis, because we have meta books containing all files of a publication. Also, I know about the Shift+File click which shows "Open all files in book" etc menu items. So, to restate my question, is there a "silent option" to open files created in a previous version in 7.x? -- cheers, Jakob. PS: I guess one could save the old files in MIF, and load them in 7.x, but how can this be automated? DZBatcher? Any other ideas?

However, it is finding increased use for coordinate measuring machines where it designates a device with a proportional range and some form of indicator." http://www.ticms.com/wizard/glossary.htm#G HTH a lil' ~Chad ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

Hi John, Hopefully the bulk of people respond directly to you and maybe you can let Lisa (and the list?) know the results... Just to avoid a flood of email as I'm sure that you're not the only one. I did get that same email so let's hope that we can track it. In their defense, the content is pretty FM specific and they may not have bothered to look up the 'rules' of posting/harvesting. Maybe it would have been better for them to just post to the list once though instead of emailing a collection of addresses.

Numbers in my book's ToC?
In the reference page of the TOC find the code that looks like this: <$paratext> <$pagenum> Then add this to it: <$paranum> or <$paranumonly> where you feel it would do the most good :) Likely you'll end up with this: <$paranum> <$paratext> <$pagenum> or <$paranumonly> <$paratext> <$pagenum> To make it easier to ID the right code, try this: 1. format the type of paragraph to change in the TOC (for example, Heading1TOC) to color=magenta 2. in the reference pages (view > reference page) find the magenta code (see above) 3. modify the code 4. view > body pages 5. switch to the book 6. update the book 7. review the magenta output (if correct, change color back, otherwise tweak again) In a total and self promting way, consider getting Advanced FrameMaker (I have copies of the book) as there is a stellar, well thought out, well written, feature rich, intelligently designed (ha-ha) chapter just on generated files.

On TOC reference page of the Table of Contents document, you can add the <$paranum> or <$paranumonly> building blocks to the xxxTOC paragraphs (e.g., Head1TOC) to extract the number of the specific item. For example, you might have the Head1TOC paragraph as: <$paranum>\ <$paratext>\T<$pagenum> (where "\ " is a non-breaking space and "\T" is a tab character) You won't see any change until you regenerate the TOC, but then the number as shown in the individual file will be pulled into the TOC for you.

FM driving me crazy!
I had this problem with 7.0 once, but I was trying to set the properties from within the component file. Check the settings for the file in the book file. The book file overrides the settings in the component file and changes its settings. And, IIRC, the book file wants all its components to have the same pagination, so check the settings for the other files, especially the preceeding files. Structured or unstructured -- it's all the same here.

First, check the internal pagination setting of the generated file and make sure it's set to double-sided, not single sided. Then check the pagination settings of the files that come before and after it in the book; ideally they should all be set the same and at the book level.

Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Hello, we have the following problem on a couple of machines, with different documents: If, on opening a file with missing figures, the user chooses to skip this (and possibly all other figures), Frame crashes. Occurs on some machines, not all of them. Frame is +SGML 5.5.6, Windows is 2000 or XP. Any ideas why, and how to fix this?

Well, others have introduced you to the concept of $paranum and $paranumonly, which may be what you were missing (in the FM 6 User Guide, see pp. 346-350). But based on what you said, I'm wondering if that's the only problem: > I have created a paragraph numbering tag for each type of > heading in my chapter ToC, e.g. toc12 is <$chapnum>.. What do you mean by "chapter ToC"? And what's "toc12" -- the name of one of your heading paragraph formats? It's an odd choice of name (compared to, say, "Head1"), so I'm wondering what you really mean by "paragraph numbering tag" (there's no such thing; there are paragraph tags, or formats, and they may have an autonumber as one of their settings). > I have added the number manually to each heading in my > chapter ToC, and to each heading in the chapter. If that's really true, you're doing something seriously wrong. The whole point of adding an autonumber to a paragraph tag definition is so that it will -- you know -- automatically have a number. Are you really manually adding numbers? If so, you don't have autonumbers, and you need to read pp. 113-122 of the User Guide. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.

I recently came across this in someone who didn't fully grasp the idea of constructors in the TOC flow on the reference pages. And it's hard to explain to them why it's not a good idea, because it works, sort of ;-) Murray: as other have said, FrameMaker can add numbering to any para for you automatically, then pick up the text and the number of the para for use in the TOC. You do the former by setting up the numbering in the paragraph's Numbering dialog in the Paragraph Constructor, and the latter by correctly defining the corresponding paragraph tag on the reference page of the generated TOC file that contains the TOC flow (see Bernard's mail). -- Steve ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

RE: Numbers in my book's ToC?
In the reference page of the TOC find the code that looks like this: <$paratext> <$pagenum> Then add this to it: <$paranum> or <$paranumonly> where you feel it would do the most good :) Likely you'll end up with this: <$paranum> <$paratext> <$pagenum> or <$paranumonly> <$paratext> <$pagenum> To make it easier to ID the right code, try this: 1. format the type of paragraph to change in the TOC (for example, Heading1TOC) to color=magenta 2. in the reference pages (view > reference page) find the magenta code (see above) 3. modify the code 4. view > body pages 5. switch to the book 6. update the book 7. review the magenta output (if correct, change color back, otherwise tweak again) In a total and self promting way, consider getting Advanced FrameMaker (I have copies of the book) as there is a stellar, well thought out, well written, feature rich, intelligently designed (ha-ha) chapter just on generated files.

RE: Numbers in my book's ToC?
On TOC reference page of the Table of Contents document, you can add the <$paranum> or <$paranumonly> building blocks to the xxxTOC paragraphs (e.g., Head1TOC) to extract the number of the specific item. For example, you might have the Head1TOC paragraph as: <$paranum>\ <$paratext>\T<$pagenum> (where "\ " is a non-breaking space and "\T" is a tab character) You won't see any change until you regenerate the TOC, but then the number as shown in the individual file will be pulled into the TOC for you.

Re: FM driving me crazy!
First, check the internal pagination setting of the generated file and make sure it's set to double-sided, not single sided. Then check the pagination settings of the files that come before and after it in the book; ideally they should all be set the same and at the book level.

Re: batch-upgrading documents 5.5.6 to 7.2?
Hi, Jakob: Yes, you can automate this process. Search Google for "DoBatch," and "DZBatcher," two free utilities that work on Windows FM, like the FM-unix utility, fmbatch.

Have you ever saved the TOC to file before regenerating it? If not, try that. Other than that, ensure your file and book pagination settings are both set to "make page count even". -- Bill Swallow HATT List Owner WWP-Users List Owner 42.8162,-73.7736 http://techcommdood.blogspot.com I support Char James-Tanny for STC Secretary. ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
Numbers in my book's ToC?
I have created a paragraph numbering tag for each type of heading in my chapter ToC, e.g. toc12 is <$chapnum>.. I have created a paragraph numbering tag for each type of chapter text heading, e.g. Head1 is S:Section <$chapnum>. \t I have added the number manually to each heading in my chapter ToC, and to each heading in the chapter. Now what do I do to see each number preceding its heading in my book's ToC?

batch-upgrading documents 5.5.6 to 7.2?
Hello, well, we've almost finished our migration software-wise, now we need to convert several hundreds documents to the new version. instead of opening each and every file manually, being told that it's a version 5 document, and agreeing to have it updated by clicking the OK button in the dialogue box, isn't there a "silent" way of opening/upgrading files? I wouldn't mind doing it on a per-book basis, because we have meta books containing all files of a publication. Also, I know about the Shift+File click which shows "Open all files in book" etc menu items. So, to restate my question, is there a "silent option" to open files created in a previous version in 7.x? -- cheers, Jakob. PS: I guess one could save the old files in MIF, and load them in 7.x, but how can this be automated? DZBatcher? Any other ideas? ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
Re: FM driving me crazy!
I had this problem with 7.0 once, but I was trying to set the properties from within the component file. Check the settings for the file in the book file. The book file overrides the settings in the component file and changes its settings. And, IIRC, the book file wants all its components to have the same pagination, so check the settings for the other files, especially the preceeding files. Structured or unstructured -- it's all the same here.
