RE: CHM Help
Ben, I've seen this, too. My understanding is that when you open the chm file on a French version of Windows, the title will appear correctly. Unfortunately, I don't have access to Windows in other languages, so I've never been able to test it myself. ~ Linda G.

Word In db transforming to Frame
Hello again, I have had some inquiries that I would like to answer globally about what we are doing with Word in a db and transforming using Miramo into FrameMaker. We are using a requirements db (Doors). Some of our data that was originally displayed in complexed FrameMaker tables (rotated text in header rows and large spanning tables) has an undesirable display for the authors editing in Doors. In these cases we are embedding the large complexed tables in a word file within Doors. When we publish our review documents, we are transforming the Word file along with all the rest of the requirements into the Miramo file giving us a very VERY nice FrameMaker file. Our issue is to get these huge word tables to create a heading row for multi page repeat functionality. All in all, FrameMaker has a very nice import tool for word tables. Now if Adobe would preserve Words header and body rows and perhaps map the styles without overrides, then I would be EXTRAORDINARILY pleased. Margaret A. Gainsley Medtronic, Inc.

Re: Word In db transforming to Frame
Without knowing the ins and outs of Miramo (because there may be a tool there), I think it would be close to trivial to include a FrameScript in your workflow that sets the Word header rows to FM's Header Rows. I'd suggest Rick Quattro, author of TableCleaner, as a good source if you don't want to roll your own... www.frameexpert.com.

Place graphics frame in anchored frame?
Frame 7.0 on Windows 2000 I'm working with an inherited document. It has a graphics frame, which I would like to either convert to an anchored frame or place in an anchored frame so it will flow correctly with the text around it. I can't find any way to do this. What am I missing? In case it matters, the graphics frame is a flow chart, so it contains several drawing objects and several text frames. Thanks for your help. Bob Love people. Use things. Not vice-versa. -- Kelly Rothaus ___ 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.

What am I missing? 1. With the text cursor in the pgf where you want to anchor the anchored frame, select Special Anchored Frame. 2. In the dialog, set the anchoring position and size (big enough for your graphic frame), and click New Frame. 3. Click the border of the graphics frame to select it and cut it (Ctrl + x). 4. Click the border of the destination anchored frame to select it and paste the graphics frame (Ctrl + v). FM inserts it into the anchored frame, centered horizontally and vertically.

RE: Place graphics frame in anchored frame?
Thanks to Stuart and to Richard Combs, who contact me off-list with a slightly different method, which worked. I thought I had tried cutting and pasting the graphic frame into an anchored frame, but I must have skipped something, because it didn't work until I got the help. Bob Love people. Use things.

RE: CHM Help
Thanks for the feedback Linda. Actually, I found an answer on The Helpware Group's website, http://helpware.net/FAR/far_faq.htm. This is what they say: Why does my CHM window show the title HTML Help instead of my title? HTML Help is not a Unicode application, and there is a risk of showing garbage characters if the primary language ID of the CHM does not match the primary language ID of the systems LCID (for example a KOR help title displayed on a Japanese OS). The caveat here is when the help title is compiled as English. English help titles can display their titlebar string on all operating systems since all of the code pages support English. Unfortunately the check is too strict. Only the Primary Language ID should be checked, however HH also checks the Secondary Language ID causing say Portuguese (Brazil) help to display HTML Help on a Portuguese (Portugal) PC. In the case of English help, in the past all help had to be set to English (US). This bug was fixed in HH 1.31? and now English (Australian) help for example will display correctly on all systems. -Original Message- From: Linda G.
