FrameMaker is the only tool that can legally read/write
binary .fm files, thanks to Adobe's license restrictions.
One
Batch File Renamer, a freeware utility, is an effective automation tool for
renaming MIF files to FM.

Hi David,
In my opinion, itt should not take you more than a month to be hands on.
Thanks

Thanks Lynne, I'll give that a go.
However, I must confess I do not really understand how the
element will go in the table.

Hi David:
I'm in the same situation as you. I'm well versed in Word, and have
just started learning FrameMaker. I've been working with someone
else's FrameMaker templates for four months now. The learning curve
for me is fairly steep, but mostly because FrameMaker is conceptually

David,
I think Deirdre, especially since she is a new user, nailed it.
FrameMaker is much, much more versatile than Word for long documents.
More of the underlying control is exposed and available to you. The
FrameMaker documentation has never been as useful to me as having a guru
on call.
My
Hello everyone,
Two weeks ago, I sent a message about a problem I was having
importing Word RTFs into Frame 6 (Mac). The solution, in the end, was
to import them using "RTF_Japanese_Import."
Since then, a new glitch has developed -- it won't import any text in
tables. The tables come in,

Word isn't intuitive either. No software is. "Familiar" is a more accurate term.
If you've developed running headers and
If you can find a copy of FrameMaker 5 (e-bay, Craig's List, etc.) buy
it for the manual; I still have the book (approx 700 pages) and it
clearly explains a great deal of how Frame works: lots of info about
master pages; reference pages; generating and formatting Tables of
Contents, Indices, Lists
I have a document in a book (FM 7.2) that contains a large text inset.
When I update manually the book, the document
contents and those of its text inset (which
contains cond. formats) update correctly.
My script opens the same book and turns on the
correct cond. formats one document at a

Jakob,
Your EDD can define to be a table. You will need to define a
table body, a row, and a cell element in the EDD, but these elements need
not exist in XML.
FrameMaker 7 for Mac, Illustrator CS2, OS X 10.4.11.
I appreciate that this is not specifically a FrameMaker issue, although
FrameMaker is involved. It relates to a truly strange last-minute 'gotcha' on a
production run for a book.
The book contained diagrams that were created in Illustrator,
What irks me the most about vista is the overhead required to run it. Why

Stephen,
I went through almost the exact same painful process about two weeks ago when
updating text insets with conditional text. Rick Quatro worked endlessly,
tirelessly and patiently on my behalf writing and rewriting scripts to solve
this issue. Ultimately, he decided that the FDK does not
Also, one other thing: FrameMaker has a lot of add-ons -- what are
these called? Scripts that peope have written that you can buy and
use with the program. I think I am understanding their purpose
correctly. The equivalent of a macro in Word, I believe. Anyway,
there are loads of them and
Most are called plug-ins. They extend FM's capabilities and are very handy.
I use quite a few.
There are also scripts that you use or create that let you do more
customized things with your FM documents and books, usually using
FrameScript.

let me apologize first as i'm sure this question has been asked and answered...
What is the story concerning the frameusers.com site? It has been down for
weeks.
Thanks in advance.
The learning curve for FrameMaker can be steep or relatively shallow,
but it depends how how deep you involve yourself and whether its an
avocation or a full-time effort. My recommendations:
1. Go for it with intensity and determination; dabbling won't work.
2. Get the previously recommended
