Hi Angela,
I get a separate pdf from our Marketing dep. containing the front page for my
manual.
Here is how I do it:
1. Put an empty page in my FM file where the front page should be.
2. Create the pdf.
3. Open the manual pdf in Acrobat (Standard).
4. Put the cursor in the first page.
5.
Jeez, now you're going to test my memory, because most of
the conversion work I did was more than five years ago when
I migrated our pubs group from Word to FrameMaker as our
standard tool.
Our docs were all in Word 95, which meant the macros were
written in Word Basic rather than Visual Basic
Hello all,
Does anyone know of a free FrameScript for upgrading books and saving
all files from an older version of Frame (6 7). This is probably an
easy script to write, if you knew the language. :-)
I am running FrameMaker 7.0p579 and have FrameScript 4.0.
Any assistance would be greatly

Fred, could you elaborate on these macros? What do they do, and how do
they work?
Thanks,

I need to save some Frame files as HTML and this works great with Save
As - except for the graphics. Does anyone know how to change the
settings for graphic filesin FrameMaker when converting eps graphics for
web? Right now it is saves them as gif and they look horrible. Thanks!

I'm new so please be kind. I work in Frame 7.1b023 with no plug-ins.
I have a book file that incorporates multiple 8-1/2 x 11 page size files,
multiple 11 x 17 page size files with cross references within files and from
file to file, stand alone TOCs, LOFs, and LOTs that are generated and then

I think you should be able to create a PDF document containing a mixture
of page sizes.
I tried this and it worked first time:
- Create three Frame files, one portrait, one landscape and one a custom
size.
- Create a Frame book containing the three files.
- Print the book to a file,
Just give the printer a standard PDF file with crop marks showing. Pages in
normal order. Most vendors have software to rearange the pages for you.
You can also get software to do that on the FrameUsers website,
www.frameusers.com. Look in the 3rd party tools section. I think there are
a
OK, Carla, one two-part idea.
This is, admittedly, a kludge, but you may want to play with the idea
The first part is when you .pdf the job, to specify that each file
prints as a discrete file rather than one large one.
Then print the letter size book. Then print a second copy of the book
Do a pre-cleaning in Word to remove extra carriage returns and any
Word oddities.
Save the Word docs as .RTF and open them in FM.
Save the imported files, then save again as .MIF files to remove extra
characters.
Open the MIFs and save them as your working set of files.

I use conditional text every day. Does anyone know a shortcut to getting
the conditional dialog box to pop up. A few years ago I was able to
modify my maker.ini file so that had a button on my window to do that
but I don't remember how to do it.
Thanks,

You mean other than Alt, s, t? That's what I use. Having to reach
for the mouse to click a button is annoying.
My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

These are the universal cross-platform
I used to have it where I assigned an unused icon to the function and
then I just clicked on that icon, which was on my toolbar, and it
opened.

I have a fun project. My first Read Me First! Do you think that Illustrator
or Frame is the appropriate format to create a doc like this one?
