Converting Word doc to Frame

2006-03-16 Thread Ridder, Fred
I've converted thousands of pages using only Word (with macros to do a bunch of clean-up pre conversion) and FrameMaker. But my process only worked well because the Word documents all followed the template/stylesheet very closely. I did find that the conversion worked better by opening a copy of th

Hello Framers, I have a script in development that streamlines the process of inserting cross-references. It works with a two-pass process. The first pass collects potential cross-reference targets and stores them in a database file. The second pass is where you can quickly insert cross-referen

Hi Framers, First, many thanks to those respondents who recently helped me configure FM for Chinese-text editing. Another Chinese question: the FM online manual states that "a new keyword, <$pinyin> is added to the SortOrderIX paragraph on the IX reference page". This doesn't make it obvious wh

Try one of the following: 1. Provide the printer with separate cover files and a file for the manual's content. Funny, I don't have a problem getting my printer service to understand that the second side of each cover file is blank. 2. Make a PDF of a blank page, and keep it for all your projects

Hi Angela, I suggest a different way of creating the manual. Create 3 Frame files for your manual: front, body, back. Set all 3 files to make pagecount even. Put all 3 files in a book. Print the book to _one_ PDF file. The blank pages will be there. Much easier than the way you are doing it.
