How many FM users are there?

Hi all, I know Adobe keeps all of their numbers a Big Secret, but I am creating a comparison spreadsheet in my research on FM vs AT and I need to have a general idea of how many FM seats have been installed. FM has been in use since the late 1980s and I would estimate at least 100K seats. If

Hi Joanne... This process may be different if your "structured" files were XML-sourced or structured FM binary files .. and if you still have the structured version or if it has already been flattened. I have some plugin code that processes cross-refs (to and from structure) that could probabl

We are currently doing both the Arabic & Persian languages in Framemaker due to our English source files origin. The method that we are using is the "reverse-mirroring" process in which all the text insertion plus layouts have to be in a mirrored format. The other issues you need to take car

Arabic translations from English FrameMaker files

Hi Tanya, FM does not work well with Arabic (or other without extended ASCII languages). However, for small jobs I have been able to do this by adding settings the environments on my computer to Arabic (except for the keyboard settings -- you should be able to toggle between your regular locale no

I think Fred's comments are accurate, but if you do decide you want to muck with markers, IXGen accomodates all types of FM markers, not just index markers. So that would be my tool of choice... Art On 5/8/07, Ridder, Fred wrote: > I think you may be under a (common) misconception about > the ma

parameters from Framemaker to Trados

Thanks, Art. As I wrote to Fred, we are grasping for anything at this point - there are so many now-broken references and (of course) little time. We do use IXGen here, so we can give that a try. Art Campbell wrote: I think Fred's comments are accurate, but if you do decide you want to muck

Automating the application of Master Pages

I think you may be under a (common) misconception about the marker/paragraph option in the Cross-Reference dialog. That option does *not* change anything about the cross- references themselves. The option only changes the information that is displayed in the dialog. In the one case, the dialog pr

Hi, Just curious: Does this also work when the emphasis page is the first of the two? Will both of the two page numbers have emphasis assigned or only the first one? Best regards Winfried > -Original Message- > From: framers-bounces+wreng=tycoint.com at lists.frameusers.com > [mailto:fr

Character formatting that is specified with a building block at the end of an individual index marker affects only the page number that corresponds to that particular marker. Note that you can use any named character format, not just the predefined Emphasis tag, so you can make the semantics of
