Experiences with MIF2GO and Webworks Pro
Hi! From time to time I hear rumblings about having an HTML version of my documentation, which I currently have in unstructured Frame. In an effort to wow my manager and spare myself sudden, shocking, and twitch-inducing stress, I'm being *proactive* about this. My long-term goal (once I get all these darn alligators off my ass) is to use DITA. In the short term, I'm investigating ways to convert FM to HTML. WebWorks Standard doesn't seem to do enough; for example, I can't set up macros for handling tables and character formats. WebWorks Pro handles the stuff I want, but the price tag would go over like a dirigible made of depleted uranium. I don't know much about MIF2GO, but I have heard good things about it. I am going to look at the demo version; meanwhile, I eagerly(?) await your experiences, opinions, and general rants and raves about either or both of these products. I have tried using the conversion tool in FM itself, but the documentation for it is, shall we say, a bit sparse...

Cross References in Structured FrameMaker
Hi I am trying to convert a FrameMaker file to Structured FrameMaker file. What I am seeing is that the sentences following a cross reference in a paragraph are marked as invalid. I am using a CrossReference element for the cross reference instance and a normal cross reference style. For example, in this paragraph if the word Structured was a cross reference, then the rest of the sentence following the word (from was) becomes invalid unless I put it in a new paragraph. Can some one tell me what is it that I am doing wrong and how I can fix it? Thanks Pallavi - Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Make PC-to-Phone Calls to the US (and 30+ countries) for 2¢/min or less. ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [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.
TOC wrap
Framers, I know we've discussed this before, but I can't figure out how to search the archive and don't have time to look at the subjects for each month in the archive. I have a TOC for a 6 x 9 book with some very long chapter titles. I'm not the author, so I can't just shorten the titles. I've already made the font a little smaller, but the really long titles just won't fit on one line. How can I get the titles to wrap and still have the page numbers align? My reference page for the problem titles looks like this (in part): Appendix $chapnum $paratext $pagenum (tabs set between text items) Chapter $chapnum $paratext $pagenum Thanks! ~~ Linda G.

TOC wrap
You need to use one or more extra tabs between the last textual building block and the <$pagenum> building block in the prototype TOC entries. FrameMaker's tabs are absolute on a per-line basis. The first tab symbol on a line aligns text to the first tab stop *only*. If the tab stop is to the left of the tab symbol, everything behaves as if the tab doesn't exist. If you have defined two tab stops in your TOC paragraph formats, you need to have tw tab characters in the wrapped line to get the page number to align to the 2nd tab stop, so you must have two tab characters before the <$pagenum> building block. If you have three tab stops per line, you'd need three tabs before the <$pagenum>, and so on. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel. Fred Ridder Intel Parsippany, NJ >From: "Linda G.
