Hi all,
I have a client that uses FM7, but when I work at home, I use FM8. So when
every now and again I update their document source archives I have to
convert all the files from FM7 to FM8. Not so bad, however there are a lot
of books, and ...

within each book, it seems I have to do 'Save As' for each
document separately. Is there any way of doing a single 'Save As' that will
actually convert a whole book at once?

Does anybody have a utility that will do this?

If I knew FrameScript/FrameSDK like I know VBA, I could easily write a
program to do it.

But I don't - yet.

TIA

system variable in Portuguese



   Hi All,

   I've knocked around with this problem for an hour and can't recall  
how to resolve it...

   I use several system variables (month, shortmonth) in a Running  
H/F that need to automatically display with the translated value  
(February=Fevereiro). I tried setting the Language in the Paragraph  
Designer tags and that doesn't work. Changing the keyboard language  
doesn't seem to work either.

   Hints or outright answers are appreciated!

Re: system variable in Portuguese

I think the strings in variables are always literal and not dynamic,
unless they pick up some data from the operating system.

Is your operating system is set to use the Portuguese language pack?

If it is, or it has no affect, the easiest way to juggle them may be
to create a template file for each target language, then import them
into the working files as needed.

Re: system variable in Portuguese

Got it. These are system variable. So, I needed to change the
language of a character format I used in the foot. Now all is well and
both month and shortmonth are pulled from the system by language!

Thanks for the help...

Re: Is there a FrameMaker utility to Save As books from FM 8 to FM 7?

 Open the book file then hold down the shift key and the File 
Open/Save/Close commands change to their ... All Documents in Book
equivalent.

Ok, I tried that.Does not seem to exist.
I.e., when I hold down the Shift key, there does not appear in the File
menu, an 'All' version of the Save As command allowing me to save all the
chapters at once as an earlier version.

So, so far it seems that programing is the only way to go for a professional
solution.

Meantime, I recorded a Windows macro using the QM QuickMacros app, which
allows me to select a document in the book and then do all the ops
automatically to save the chapter as the earlier version. So that helps a
lot.

However, every now and again FM displays a message asking me what to do
about bad cross-references, thus the other question I posted today
about suppressing them book wide.

Thanks,

 You'd still need to open each book file separately though.

2009-02-17 Thread Matt Sullivan

Sorry...I read too quickly. The Shift command changes the Open to Open
All, Save to Save All or Save All in Book and Close to Close All
or Close All in Book.
 
Have you saved the book as MIF, then re-opened in FM7
