Re: Framemaker and Twiki

Hi Kelly, If your FrameMaker documents are structured, the path isn't all that difficult. I have achieved similar results by writing a script in the FrameScript language that does the following: 1) Recurse the element hierarchy of the Frame source files and encode the documents in XML.

Thank You

Dear Framers: It's been seven months since I joined this list. I had never seen FrameMaker before in my life, and while I was proficient with parts of Word, I'd never worked with documents that required more than a TOC, autonumbering and an appendix. Last week, I was asked to do a number of

But how about the interim stage when I'm still on Frame 6 with Acrobat 9. Is that asking for trouble? Thanks, Jo -Original Message- From: Dov Isaacs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 July 2008 22:12 To: Jo Watkiss; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Frame Acrobat upgrades

TOC, LOT: Leader dots on second line of text?

Hi, I know this question has been asked many times, but I can't find any threads with the answers. Here is the situation: We have a TOC and LOT that uses leader dots that lead to a page number on a right tab; eg Table 3-1 List of Program

RE: TOC, LOT: Leader dots on second line of text?

Hi, Patrick! If you use a soft return to cut your first line, it should add them to your second. Is that what you mean? Kristy Kristy Nolan Lead Publications Specialist Ground Ops Publications DAL-3TR Southwest Airlines Dallas, TX 75235 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

footnote trouble

Hi, This may be an easy one for you, but I have no idea and a deadline ... We have some footnotes in a structured FrameMaker document (7.2) where the call of the footnote is on one page, but the footnote itself finds itself on the next page. Usually, this is the case when the footnote call is

Hi, Jim. I do not have the IBM style Guide, but some other references below ... hope this helps. Both The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th Edition and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing are silent on the topic of gerunds. At least, there is no index entry for gerund. (MLA =

TOC, LOT: Leader dots on second line of text?

Hi Kristy, Thanks for the response. I tried adding a soft return to the lines that are too long, but when I generate the LOT, the soft return is there, but there is still no leader line and the page number in not tabbed to the right. -- Pat Fortino writenowdesign.com
