RE: Can't See the Structure View Window

[Petersen, Oran C]

-Original Message-
 We moved offices over the weekend, and I reconfigured my dual monitor
display a little bit. (Not sure if this is what's causing the problem,
but I just thought I'd mention it in case it's important) Anyhoo, I
can't see the Structure View window anymore. When I click the icon, the
focus shifts off of the document window, but the Structure View window
is nowhere to be seen. I tried playing with the coordinates in the
maker.ini file, but either that's not the problem or I'm choosing the
wrong numbers. Any clues? I'm on FM 7.2, Windows XP Pro 2000 SP-2
--
If you do not want to modify your .ini file, below is another
alternative to recover the Structure View.
1. Close all Frame sessions
2. Open a new session and file
3. Click the Structure View icon once (only)
(Important: Do not click anywhere else after)
4. Hit Alt+spacebar
5. Hit m
6. Hit any of the 4 arrow keys (this activates the mouse for a Windows
move
7. Without clicking or holding a button, move the mouse until you see
the View
8. Click to anchor it.
9. Save the Frame file (important)
You need to have the Structure View active to make this work. If after
you click the icon (Step 3) you then click on the Document Window (or
anywhere else) this will not work. You must then start over again from
Step 1. This is because you cannot make the Structure View active again
after it is opened except by clicking with the mouse, which of course
you can't do because you can't see it.

This technique also works starting from Step 4 for any other dialog box,
catalog, etc. that gets hidden. Very common when you use a laptop with
an external monitor and then take it into a presentation with a single
monitor.

Multiple File Import

[Doug]

What do you folks do when you have to import dozens of files as text
insets?  Frame lets me import only one at a time, which is a pain in
the butt.  Ideas?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] asked

 insets? Frame lets me import only one at a time, which is a pain in

Well, if the insets are consecutively located in the container document, 
and if each inset source is a single-flow file using the default A flow 
name, it should be possible to script it pretty easily using a list of files 
to insert (assuming you have FrameScript...). If there is intervening 
text in the container, you'd have to get a little more clever, placing 
some sort of indication (e.g. a strange text string or a user-defined 
marker) at each insertion point as well as building the list of files. 
And if any of the insets are contained in multi-flow files or use a 
non-default flow name, things get more complicated again because 
you have to identify the flow name in the import process.
 
Unless this is something I had to do repeatedly (i.e. if I had to build 
dozens of files or an ongoing stream of files that each used dozens 
of insets), I suspect I'd just suck it up and do it by hand rather than 
taking the time to develop a script. It's a little tedious, but really 
shouldn't take *that* long unless you're dealing with many dozens
of insets. And unless you're using the same set of insets over and 
over, you'd probably spend nearly as much time constructing/editing/ 
double-checking the file list for the script as you do to perform the 
actual insertions. And if it really *is* the same set of insets over
and over, you can probably do the insertions once and then copy 
and paste as long as all the container files are inthe same directory.

Re: Multiple File Import

[Peter Gold]

Hi, Doug:

Can you tell us more about what you're trying to do with these insets
in the container file?

Also, how are you selecting them for import? If you Ctrl+Click them in
the File Open dialog box, there's the problem of Windows'
unpredictable ordering of the files, so even if FM could import
multiple files, the order might not be what you intend.

Steve Skirsch

[Paul Findon]

If you use FrameMaker, one name you must know is Steve Skirsch, the  
man who, along with Charles Corfield, David Murray, and a few others,  
started the company Frame Technology in 1986 and released FrameMaker  
1.0 the following year. The rest, as they say, is history.

While clicking around on the FM4OSX Web site the other day, I landed  
at http://skirsch.com/, where I was shocked to read that Steve has  
been diagnosed with a rare and incurable blood cancer called  
Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia. He may have only 5 years left, but  
he intends to try and change the outcome and has set up the Kirsch  
Fund for Waldenstrom's Research to fund research in to the disease.

If you'd like to to donate to his fund, you can do so online at  
BrightLight:

You can read a lot more at Steve's Web site:

Help with Running Headers

[David Kuhn]

I am running into a problem inserting a running header.

It is for a book organized into parts.

One of the master pages must include a header row containing the Part
number and Part name above the Chapter number and Chapter name.

I tried to insert a Running Header 5, just changing the definition that
exists from $paratext[H1_Heading1] to $paratext[Part].

There is already a Part paragraph format defined, but it exists only in
the Part document type, not the Chapter document type.

But when I switch from the Master Pages view to the Body Pages view,
this line does not appear at all.

Create a hypertext marker to automatically fill in TO, CC and SUBJECT

[Jerilynne Knight]

Hi all

I'm not sure my last message made it, so I thought I would try again.

I am creating hypertext markers in Frame 7.0p4792 on a system running
Windows XP home. I have a marker that properly inserts the TO and SUBJECT
line and would like to add the coding for a CC also. Does anyone know the
proper syntax for doing this?

Note: In my previous message I included the actual code I'm using now and I
got a bounceback message.

Have an amazing, passion-filled day

Creating hypertext markers for default email values

[Jerilynne Knight]

Hi all

I've tried to post a message to the list a couple of times this morning and
neither appears to have gone through. If they have, I apologize for the
multiple posting.

Does anyone know the syntax for a hotlink to an email address in FrameMaker
7.0p492, Windows XP home? I have got the syntax for the mailto portion and
the Subject line and would like to automatically include a carbon copy (CC)
value too.

I appreciate any help you can offer

Re: Help with Running Headers

[Art Campbell]

Unless you're already using it, you could assign the book's $volnum
variable to display the Part's information by mapping it to the
appropriate chapters in the book file. Then just set up the header
definition to display the word Part and the contents of $volnum. It
should work fine because the $volnum variable spans all the affected
chapters.

There's no such thing in FM as a Part document type, there are only
chapters (.fm files) and books (.book files). If you're putting the Part
title page in its own chapter (.fm file), then the paratext from its
pgfs isn't available in subsequent chapter files. In order for the
Running H/F in a chapter file to display the text of a Part pgf, that
pgf must be in the file. 

As Art noted, you can use the Volume Number variable for your part
numbers. But if you want to display a part title in all the chapters in
that part, you'll have to use a workaround (listed in descending order
of preference, IMHO, and excluding my first choice, which would be not
to do this at all): 

-- Create a Part Name user variable, with a different definition for the
chapters in each part. 

-- Use a cross-reference to the Part pgf in the headers, with different
xrefs (and thus master pages) for the chapters in each part.

-- Create a tiny, invisible (white text) pgf containing the part name
somewhere in each chapter file.

-- Put all the chapters in a part into the same FM chapter (.fm) file,
and use old-style (pre-v.6) numbering for chapter numbers.

Re: Help with Running Headers

Actually, you can set the contents of $volnum to hold user-specified
text, which is the method I was thinking of using... Then just plug it
in either to the user variable, or into the header.

slap_forehead /Of course! David mentioned needing both the part number
and name, so it didn't occur to me that you could combine the two, if
you didn't mind hard-coding the number as part of a text string. 

On the Volume tab of Numbering Properties, set Volume # to (for
instance) Part 1 Getting Started, and Format to Text. 

If you move a chapter (or rearrange the parts), you'll have to manually
change the numbering, but this workaround goes at the top of my list.
Thanks for straightening me out, Art! :-)

Frame's lame callouts

Since Frame has the lamest callout tools ever, does anyone know of a
plugin that improves them?
 
Does anyone know why I can't apply styles to them globally? I have to
open up the character designer and apply a style to each word
individually.

I use the text frame tool for callouts, too.  (The text line tool is 
still useful for some labels, like measurements, for example.)  You can 
also use the text frame tool and put a single-cell table inside.  This 
method gives good control over padding, shading,  borders, and if you 
save the table in the catalog, also determines the default pgf tag for 
the cell contents in subsequent callouts.

[Fred Ridder]

Gillian Flato asked (in part):

RE: Frame's lame callouts

[Rene Stephenson]

My solution for this is creating a paragraph tag (Callouts) and using the Text 
Frame tool to draw a little text box for the callout. Doing this also enables 
us to insert cross-references for callouts, which adds similar navigation to 
graphic hotspots.  ;-)

RE: Frame's lame callouts

[Lester C. Smalley]

You can apply named Character formats to the content of text lines, I do
it all the time.  You can select multiple text lines (control-click to
grab the first one, and control-shift click to add others to the
selection) and apply the same character tag to them all in one
operation.  And if you update the character style via the character
designer window, updates will be applied to the text-lines as well (as
you would expect, actually).

In fact, you can select a character tag in the catalog, and then pick
the text-line tool in the drawing tools palette, and the character
format is automatically applied to the newly created text.  At least,
this has worked for me since Frame 3 or so, and still does in 7.2 - I
don't have FM 8 so I can't test if it still functions there.

It is true that text-lines are not in the text flow and paragraph styles
can not be used.  There is one additional caveat about using text lines:
if you select them as part of a graphic (for example, selecting all in
an anchored frame, or you grouped the text line and the graphic object)
and scale the image the text scales as well, even if it has a named
style applied (but this creates a format override).  Easy to correct by
reapplying the catalog definition, but it does surprise you the first
time.

RE: Frame's lame callouts

[Ann Zdunczyk]

 
Another reason to use Text Frames rather than Graphical Text is if you have
you documents translated this works MUCH better. I have seen do done both
ways and if you use Graphical text the layout person has to remember to see
if the translated text is hidden under the edge of the graphic frame. If you
use the Text Frames then the text wraps with in the frame.

RE: Frame's lame callouts

[Maxwell Hoffmann]

Hello Gillian,

As per the previous postings, text frames are more desirable for callouts than 
text lines in FrameMaker, because you can apply a character and/or paragraph 
style and globally update all of your callouts throughout a document or book 
via importing formats from a template.

If you have existing documents with multiple text lines w/in anchored frames, 
there is one semi-shortcut that I know of. This works, assuming that you want 
*all* of the text lines in anchored frame to end up looking the same:

1) triple click text in the first instance of a text line and apply a character 
tag (yes, that actually works ... The text isn't tagged but it will pick up the 
formatting from the tag.)
2) with cursor inserted in this text line, Edit=Copy Special=Character Format 
to copy the new formatting to the clipboard
3) select the text line as an object (control-click)
4) Control-A to select all objects, including text lines, in the anchored frame
5) Control-V to PASTE, and all of your call-out text lines will have the new 
values.
6) Search for anchored frame, go into next anchored frame, select an object, 
Control-A and Control-V to PASTE format values into all text lines ... Continue 
these steps until you have updated all of your text lines to have the desired 
copy/pasted formatting

This goes pretty quickly and can possibly be automated through Framescript or 
some other tool. Hope that this helps.

P.s. if someone has been creating a lot of text lines in your documents, when 
you use Control-A w/in anchored frames, you may see a set of handles around 
some small white space, indicating an empty text line. If someone has used 
BACKSPACE to delete the text in a text line, an empty text line remains. If you 
select that empty text line as an object, you can then delete it. Empty text 
lines (even in the margin of the page, outside of an anchored frame) can 
explain a mysterious text edit cursor that shows up when you move your object 
select cursor over the invisible, empty text line.

Re: Putting line drawings in a frame doc

Theresa de Valence wrote:
 
 How do you control where an image shows up in the text?

I have tags for paragraphs (gf GraphicFlush, gi GraphicIndented, etc.) 
into which I put (only) an anchored frame At Insertion Point.  Then I 
put my graphic inside.  Sometimes I import a jpg or other image file; 
sometimes I use the simple vector drawing tools from FM's Graphics Tools 
palette.  If I were importing a text inset they way you do, I would have 
to draw a text frame inside the anchored frame first, and import into 
that.  But in any of these cases, I have control over where the 
containing anchored frame is (as well as space above/below, next pgf 
tag, etc.) through the properties of the containing pgf tag and/or the 
anchored frame itself.

Toolbars

[DONALD Brian]

Hi
I am using Frame 8.0 and I am wondering if there is a way to change the
toolbar icons for Plain, Bold and Italics similar to the previous
versions of 7 and 7.1. The icons currently used are in the form of a T.

Thanks
Brian

Can't See the Structure View Window

[Petersen, Oran C]

-Original Message-
 We moved offices over the weekend, and I reconfigured my dual monitor
display a little bit. (Not sure if this is what's causing the problem,
but I just thought I'd mention it in case it's important) Anyhoo, I
can't see the Structure View window anymore. When I click the icon, the
focus shifts off of the document window, but the Structure View window
is nowhere to be seen. I tried playing with the coordinates in the
maker.ini file, but either that's not the problem or I'm choosing the
wrong numbers. Any clues? I'm on FM 7.2, Windows XP Pro 2000 SP-2
--
If you do not want to modify your .ini file, below is another
alternative to recover the Structure View.
1. Close all Frame sessions
2. Open a new session and file
3. Click the Structure View icon once (only)
(Important: Do not click anywhere else after)
4. Hit Alt+spacebar
5. Hit m
6. Hit any of the 4 arrow keys (this activates the mouse for a Windows
move
7. Without clicking or holding a button, move the mouse until you see
the View
8. Click to anchor it.
9. Save the Frame file (important)
You need to have the Structure View active to make this work. If after
you click the icon (Step 3) you then click on the Document Window (or
anywhere else) this will not work. You must then start over again from
Step 1. This is because you cannot make the Structure View active again
after it is opened except by clicking with the mouse, which of course
you can't do because you can't see it.

This technique also works starting from Step 4 for any other dialog box,
catalog, etc. that gets hidden. Very common when you use a laptop with
an external monitor and then take it into a presentation with a single
monitor.

Multiple File Import

[Doug]

What do you folks do when you have to import dozens of files as text
insets?  Frame lets me import only one at a time, which is a pain in
the butt.  Ideas?

Well, if the insets are consecutively located in the container document, 
and if each inset source is a single-flow file using the default "A" flow 
name, it should be possible to script it pretty easily using a list of files 
to insert (assuming you have FrameScript...). If there is intervening 
text in the container, you'd have to get a little more clever, placing 
some sort of indication (e.g. a strange text string or a user-defined 
marker) at each insertion point as well as building the list of files. 
And if any of the insets are contained in multi-flow files or use a 
non-default flow name, things get more complicated again because 
you have to identify the flow name in the import process.

Unless this is something I had to do repeatedly (i.e. if I had to build 
dozens of files or an ongoing stream of files that each used dozens 
of insets), I suspect I'd just suck it up and do it by hand rather than 
taking the time to develop a script. It's a little tedious, but really 
shouldn't take *that* long unless you're dealing with many dozens
of insets. And unless you're using the same set of insets over and 
over, you'd probably spend nearly as much time constructing/editing/ 
double-checking the file list for the script as you do to perform the 
actual insertions. And if it really *is* the same set of insets over
and over, you can probably do the insertions once and then copy 
and paste as long as all the container files are inthe same directory.

Multiple File Import

[Peter Gold]

Hi, Doug:

Can you tell us more about what you're trying to do with these insets
in the container file?

Also, how are you selecting them for import? If you Ctrl+Click them in
the File Open dialog box, there's the problem of Windows'
unpredictable ordering of the files, so even if FM could import
multiple files, the order might not be what you intend.

Help with Running Headers

[David Kuhn]

I am running into a problem inserting a running header.

It is for a book organized into parts.

One of the master pages must include a header row containing the Part
number and Part name above the Chapter number and Chapter name.

I tried to insert a Running Header 5, just changing the definition that
exists from <$paratext[H1_Heading1]> to <$paratext[Part]>.

There is already a Part paragraph format defined, but it exists only in
the Part document type, not the Chapter document type.

But when I switch from the Master Pages view to the Body Pages view,
this line does not appear at all.

Help with Running Headers

[Art Campbell]

Unless you're already using it, you could assign the book's $volnum
variable to display the Part's information by mapping it to the
appropriate chapters in the book file. Then just set up the header
definition to display the word "Part" and the contents of $volnum. It
should work fine because the $volnum variable spans all the affected
chapters.

There's no such thing in FM as a "Part document type," there are only
chapters (.fm files) and books (.book files). If you're putting the Part
title page in its own chapter (.fm file), then the paratext from its
pgfs isn't available in subsequent chapter files. In order for the
Running H/F in a chapter file to display the text of a Part pgf, that
pgf must be in the file. 

As Art noted, you can use the Volume Number variable for your part
numbers. But if you want to display a part title in all the chapters in
that part, you'll have to use a workaround (listed in descending order
of preference, IMHO, and excluding my first choice, which would be not
to do this at all): 

-- Create a Part Name user variable, with a different definition for the
chapters in each part. 

-- Use a cross-reference to the Part pgf in the headers, with different
xrefs (and thus master pages) for the chapters in each part.

-- Create a tiny, invisible (white text) pgf containing the part name
somewhere in each chapter file.

-- Put all the chapters in a part into the same FM chapter (.fm) file,
and use old-style (pre-v.6) numbering for chapter numbers.

Actually, you can set the contents of $volnum to hold user-specified

Of course! David mentioned needing both the part number
and name, so it didn't occur to me that you could combine the two, if
you didn't mind hard-coding the number as part of a text string. 

On the Volume tab of Numbering Properties, set Volume # to (for
instance) "Part 1 Getting Started," and Format to Text. 

If you move a chapter (or rearrange the parts), you'll have to manually
change the numbering, but this workaround goes at the top of my list.
Thanks for straightening me out, Art! :-)

Putting line drawings in a frame doc

[Theresa de Valence]

Hello Framers,

One of my techniques for quickly conveying an idea is to use a small
line drawing (lines, boxes, circles and text). I have been doing these
drawings in Frame for many years, having never developed any greater
flexability with any other drawing software.

These drawing files are imported as Text Insets.  

In this way I have NO control over how the drawing appears in the
document flow. If I put the drawing into an anchored frame, my only
choice is "run into paragraph" which places the drawing on the left side
of the paragraph.

Originally I may have used Text Insets because of memory considerations.
Or perhaps because i sometimes have reused the drawing in another place.
Neither of these issues is particularly relevant in the present case.

How do you control where an image shows up in the text?
How many other people use graphics feature in Frame to draw things?
Do people have recommendations for other relationships for adding simple
line drawings?

Thanks,
Theresa de Valence 

Frame's lame callouts

Since Frame has the lamest callout tools ever, does anyone know of a

Does anyone know why I can't apply styles to them globally? I have to

individually.


Thank you,

Are you using the text line tool? If so, it only lets you apply character

I use the text frame tool for callouts, too.  (The text line tool is 
still useful for some labels, like measurements, for example.)  You can 
also use the text frame tool and put a single-cell table inside.  This 
method gives good control over padding, shading, & borders, and if you 
save the table in the catalog, also determines the default pgf tag for 
the cell contents in subsequent callouts.

Callouts created with the drawing tools cannot be manipulated with 
named styles because they are not paragraphs in the text flow. They
are lines of characters in a graphic frame which is entirely separate
from the text flow even though it is surrounded by it.

My solution for this is creating a paragraph tag (Callouts) and using the Text 
Frame tool to draw a little text box for the callout. Doing this also enables 
us to insert cross-references for callouts, which adds similar navigation to 
graphic hotspots.  ;-)

Frame's lame callouts

[Lester C. Smalley]

You can apply named Character formats to the content of text lines, I do
it all the time.  You can select multiple text lines (control-click to
grab the first one, and control-shift click to add others to the
selection) and apply the same character tag to them all in one
operation.  And if you update the character style via the character
designer window, updates will be applied to the text-lines as well (as
you would expect, actually).

In fact, you can select a character tag in the catalog, and then pick
the text-line tool in the drawing tools palette, and the character
format is automatically applied to the newly created text.  At least,
this has worked for me since Frame 3 or so, and still does in 7.2 - I
don't have FM 8 so I can't test if it still functions there.

It is true that text-lines are not in the text flow and paragraph styles
can not be used.  There is one additional caveat about using text lines:
if you select them as part of a graphic (for example, selecting all in
an anchored frame, or you grouped the text line and the graphic object)
and scale the image the text scales as well, even if it has a named
style applied (but this creates a format override).  Easy to correct by
reapplying the catalog definition, but it does surprise you the first
time.

Creating hypertext markers for default email values

[Inbar, Paul]

You probably figured this out already, but in case not, try something
like this:

message URL
mailto:paul.inbar at intel.com?cc=paul.inbar at gmail.com=My%20Documen
t

I think the trick is that & between the two fields. Also note how spaces
are indicated (in the subject, for example)

You can also specify default body by adding =blah%20blah, e.g. 

message URL
mailto:paul.inbar at intel.com?cc=paul.inbar at gmail.com=My%20Documen
t=blah%20blah

Anyway, I hope this helps

Frame's lame callouts

[Susan Modlin]

I also use a text frame, but take it one step further with a FrameScript that 
inserts a text frame in an anchored frame, sizes it, and sets the paragraph tag 
for me.

My solution for this is creating a paragraph tag (Callouts) and using
 the Text Frame tool to draw a little text box for the callout. Doing
 this also enables us to insert cross-references for callouts, which adds
 similar navigation to graphic hotspots.  ;-)

Callouts created with the drawing tools cannot be manipulated with 
named styles because they are not paragraphs in the text flow. They
are lines of characters in a graphic frame which is entirely separate
from the text flow even though it is surrounded by it.

Frame's lame callouts

[Ann Zdunczyk]

Another reason to use Text Frames rather than Graphical Text is if you have
you documents translated this works MUCH better. I have seen do done both
ways and if you use Graphical text the layout person has to remember to see
if the translated text is hidden under the edge of the graphic frame. If you
use the Text Frames then the text wraps with in the frame.

I think Trados, WordFast, and other TAs handle text frames better as  
well.

Frame's lame callouts

[Maxwell Hoffmann]

Hello Gillian,

As per the previous postings, text frames are more desirable for callouts than 
text lines in FrameMaker, because you can apply a character and/or paragraph 
style and globally update all of your callouts throughout a document or book 
via importing formats from a template.

If you have existing documents with multiple text lines w/in anchored frames, 
there is one semi-shortcut that I know of. This works, assuming that you want 
*all* of the text lines in anchored frame to end up looking the same:

1) triple click text in the first instance of a text line and apply a character 
tag (yes, that actually works ... The text isn't tagged but it will pick up the 
formatting from the tag.)
2) with cursor inserted in this text line, Edit=>Copy Special=>Character Format 
to copy the new formatting to the clipboard
3) select the text line as an object (control-click)
4) Control-A to select all objects, including text lines, in the anchored frame
5) Control-V to PASTE, and all of your call-out text lines will have the new 
values.
6) Search for anchored frame, go into next anchored frame, select an object, 
Control-A and Control-V to PASTE format values into all text lines ... Continue 
these steps until you have updated all of your text lines to have the desired 
copy/pasted formatting

This goes pretty quickly and can possibly be automated through Framescript or 
some other tool. Hope that this helps.

P.s. if someone has been creating a lot of text lines in your documents, when 
you use Control-A w/in anchored frames, you may see a set of handles around 
some small white space, indicating an "empty" text line. If someone has used 
BACKSPACE to delete the text in a text line, an empty text line remains. If you 
select that empty text line as an object, you can then delete it. Empty text 
lines (even in the margin of the page, outside of an anchored frame) can 
explain a mysterious "text edit cursor" that shows up when you move your object 
select cursor over the invisible, empty text line.

Frame's lame callouts

[st...@siliconprairiesoftware.com]

Callouts are one of the reasons I created Auto-Text. You can define a set
of callout Auto-Text items that are easily pasted into an anchored frame
that contains a picture. I have callouts defined for the left or right
sides of an image, with various callout lines (straight, angled, brackets,
etc). The callout text box has the appropriate style already applied, so
you can just select the text and start typing your new callout.

An example of callout Auto-Text items is included with the Auto-Text
plug-in. You can download the plug-in from:

http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com

Try it out. I think you'll find it speeds up callout-creation.

Putting line drawings in a frame doc

> How do you control where an image shows up in the text?

I have tags for paragraphs (gf GraphicFlush, gi GraphicIndented, etc.) 
into which I put (only) an anchored frame At Insertion Point.  Then I 
put my graphic inside.  Sometimes I import a jpg or other image file; 
sometimes I use the simple vector drawing tools from FM's Graphics Tools 
palette.  If I were importing a text inset they way you do, I would have 
to draw a text frame inside the anchored frame first, and import into 
that.  But in any of these cases, I have control over where the 
containing anchored frame is (as well as space above/below, next pgf 
tag, etc.) through the properties of the containing pgf tag and/or the 
anchored frame itself.

HTH,

OT: Default postscript level in Adobe Reader 7.0?

[Tammy Van Boening]

All,

Posting on behalf of a colleague who is NOT a TW and who works in a
location that has no TWs on site or any support for "writing" related
issues. When trying to print to any PDF from Adobe Reader (7.0 with all
patches/updates) to an HP printer, supposedly Adobe Reader picks the
correct PostScript level (1, 2, or 3) based on the selected printer. The
default value is PostScript Level 3 in Reader and the automatic
selection of the correct level doesn't fly when the printer is selected.
He has to manually change the postscript level to 2. Is there a way to
set the default level to PostScript Level 2 so that every single time he
prints a PDF he doesn't have to remember to do this?  (I have searched
online for answers to this, but the Adobe Reader User's guide just makes
the claim that the Adobe Reader picks the correct PostScript level (1,
2, or 3) based on the selected printer) and numerous bugs/issues around
this problem (in particular, when updating to 8) are all over the adobe
forum.

TIA,

TVB

Flare v Webworks

[Pat Fortino]

Hi,

Sorry if this question has been answered already; I tried to find a place to 
search the framer's archive for my questions, but can't find it. Is there a way 
to search the archive?

Anyway, I just talked to Webworks about upgrading my Webworks Pro 2003. First 
of all, they told me there is no upgrade path; I have to pay full price again, 
$1900. And that's only for a specific named user; each extra user is ONLY $900. 
Totally rediculous.

Anyway, I am a small company and cannot afford to pay $2000 for an add-on frame 
utility that I use only once in a while. Can anyone suggest an alternative. I 
once looked into Flare, and they claim Flare can use the frame files as a 
source, so I assume I could still single source for print and online help.

Also, I remember a tool called miftogo, but I cannot find anything in google 
about where to buy it. Is this company still in business. If so, will it does 
what webworks does; eg, convert a frame book to an online help format?

Thanks for any help.
