Re: Long running headers
Or you can use one header text frame and put a two-column table in it for more design flexibility: - You can play with ruling and shading, for example to place your headers/footers on a colored background. - You can control the distance between both columns by playing with the default cell margins. - You can align your text vertically in the table cell. - Your table cells will expand automatically as your header/footer text becomes longer.

Some others you can do digitally are: @Change to a smaller body font *but* never ever try to reduce line spacing to fit more lines. Ideally the apparent white space between the baseline of one line and the x-line of the one below should be about double the x-height. @Slightly condense the body type -- not too much or the proportions of strokes will become ugly. @Increase the depth of all pages. Change to a double-column format as suggested by Steve. @Reduce the size of type in tables. @Reduce the size of all illustrations. When I was in publishing in the days of hot metal type and later cold type (type on photographic paper), we had a few other strategies to fit pages. @To deal with orphans (a short line at the top of the next page), first reduce the space above and below headings; in cold type terms, cut up the camera copy and move strips of paper around. (Also works for widows -- the first line of a paragraph at the foot of the page.) @If that is insufficient, increase the depth of the double-spread by one line to pull the orphan back. (Also works for widows to pull one line back so it's not lonely any more; alternatively, decrease the depth of the page by one line to push the widow over.) It's considered bad form to have an overdepth page immediately next to an overleaf underdepth page, and vice versa. And facing pages that are different depths are unforgivable. @If still in a jam, reduce the size of diagrams or illustrations, especially photographs, which may additionally be cropped. @In the last resort, remove some adjectives or other non-essential text (don't consult the author -- it's a user guide, not holy writ). @Return to and study the illustrations carefully. Are they comfort illustrations to simply reassure the reader that they have arrived at the right window or dialogue? If so, cut them. @Ask the printer if it is possible to print an 8-page section two-up, halving the print run. This (2 x 8 pp = 16pp) section can be slit on the folder, and then bound in with the 16 pp sections. @Finally, just accept a few blank pages at the end of the book.

Fine tuning pagination
I would not try to do the signatures in Framemaker. You can use a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat, Quite Imposing Plus (http://www.quite.com/) to do the imposition of a pdf before you send it to the printer. I used the plug-in a lot for documents we sent to a Xerox Docutech. The plug in is a bit expensive, but we calculated that it paid for itself in a few jobs. Manually laying out the pages for higher page counts is extremely difficult to do. Hope this helps!

Fine tuning pagination
Hi, Linda: Shrinking to fit is usually more difficult than expanding to fit. While it's easy to tweak away with paragraph-, character-, and word-spacing properties to squeeze things in, it's also easy to create magnificently-ugliness. You can get some good advice from folks on typography forums about how to do the first without doing the second at the same time. If it's possible to work with the authors, editing the writing is one useful component in fitting stuff into available space. Regards, Peter ___ Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices

Two subjects: 1. Making pages beautiful 2. Making a book the required length. FrameMaker gives you a wide range of controls you can use to balance pages: . Ensuring that book parts have the correct basic pagination, to trim to odd/even page count or whatever . Widow/orphan control in the paragraph designer . 'Keep with next' option in the paragraph designer . Manually stretching the main page flow to take lines back . Manually shrinking the main page flow to move lines forward . Manually bouncing paras to the top of a new page/column . Moving large objects like figures and tables around to maximize page occupancy . Micro-control of text, for example adding small amounts of negative tracking to pull a hyphenated word back from a page foot The page shrink/stretch options are easier to use in a design that uses headers rather than footers. All the above can be used to beautify pages by minimizing widows and orphans, making sure that, say, the introductory sentence to a bullet list does not lie last on a recto page, and so on. These are all about making pages beautiful. At the end of the day, though, you might have to pad out the page count to get your total page count to a multiple of 16/32/whatever. It's not uncommon to find printed books with two or even four blanks at the end for this purpose. I have even had it suggested that chapters could start on a verso page, but I don't like it. In the case of grossly excessive page count, you might even have to resort to major design changes, like setting specific sections in multiple columns (it's happened to me). This sort of process should be done, of course, as absolutely the last thing after all text changes have been done. It is a serial process that starts at the beginning and works forward towards the end of a book because everything knocks on at least to the end of the current chapter/book part. You can do 98% of what you want with FrameMaker global controls, but you are almost always forced to 'break the rules' about local overrides to get the last 2% just right.

We always add note pages to the end of the pages to have them come out in 16- or 32-page signatures. This is going to be a "hands-on" process I think to make things fit and add pages where necessary and tighten pages where necessary. That is how we do it.

Long running headers
Another trick is to make TWO header text frames - one on each side of the master page (tall enough for two lines of text), and two header paragraph format Header Left and Header Right, so I can independently set font properties, justification, spacing, etc. for the different pieces of data I'm pulling in from the text. You can even control the 'gutter' space between the two by sizing them appropriately. Makes it much easier to have truly Left and Right justified content automatically instead of fussing around with tab stops or indents.

I've inherited this Frame book. There's a master page that has two running header variables in the header, one for the chapter title and the other for the current heading 1. On one of the pages in the manual, both the chapter title and the heading 1 are long.

It has come undone so that the second line of the text on the right has disappeared. I must restore this.

ANN: Script for finding unresolved conrefs
Hello Framers, I have a FrameScript script that checks a folder (and optionally, subfolders) of .dita files for unresolved conrefs. Details about any unresolved conrefs are written to a report file. The script requires FrameScript 4.1R2 or higher and MSXML 4.0 or higher (Microsoft's free XML parser). If you are interested, please contact me offlist. Thank you very much.

S1000D in Frame 8
What is the best way to use S1000D in Frame 8? Is the Application Pack from Frame 7.2 still helpful? Is there something better out there from Adobe? Joel
best method to store template version
Hi I'm new to this group, but not to FrameMaker :) I am responsible for maintaining the templates at my current company and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on the best place to store the template version. Ideas are: in a variable or perhaps on a reference page. To be clear - I have a version number and date associated with the template so when you have a document you can look at it and identify the template version/date to see if it is using the latest templates. Thanks! Karene

RE: Long running headers
Another trick is to make TWO header text frames - one on each side of the master page (tall enough for two lines of text), and two header paragraph format Header Left and Header Right, so I can independently set font properties, justification, spacing, etc. for the different pieces of data I'm pulling in from the text. You can even control the 'gutter' space between the two by sizing them appropriately. Makes it much easier to have truly Left and Right justified content automatically instead of fussing around with tab stops or indents.

Printing 8.5x11 and 11x17 in the same book
Hello All: Many of my books have electrical and mechanical drawings interspersed throughout them that are 11x17. Unfortunately, I can not shrink them to 8.5x11 because the integrity of the document is compromised. I have been having some problems figuring out how to set up FrameMaker to generate a post script file with both 8.5x11 pages and 11x17 pages so that I do not have to make 2 post script files. I am currently running FrameMaker 7.2 on Windows XP. Is there a way to generate one post script file with two different size pages in the same book? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
