Coverting Word docs to Structured Framemaker
Hi All, Has anyone any expertise in converting word docs to structured framemaker. I have done a lot of converting unstructured frame to structured frame using the conversion table and wondered whether I would use the same process for word documents?

Aligning Tables
Hi All, I have a table in the header that I want to align with a table in the the body. I want the bottom of the table in the header to touch the top of the table in the body, but there is a gap that I can't remove. I've tried overlapping the text frames but that covers some of the information. Is there a way around this? Mike ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

OT: Adobe TCS2--RoboHelp 8 integration with FrameMaker 9
Hello everybody, I just tried evaluating the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 and found that RoboHelp 8 in particular did not produce consistent results. I managed to corrupt every project I created only by continuously making changes in the style mappings from FM to RH and then regenerating. Sometimes the TOC would not generate at all. Has anyone been using RH8 and has anyone been able to get good results? If so what are you doing right? Yes I watched the tutorial Adobe produced on FM9 and RH8, which helped improve my results but it doesn't change the fact that RH8 seems unstable.

Re: Paragraph Designer Sticks in FM9
I've seen that one too. I've also had repeated crashes when trying to delete variables from a Frame 7 template. It's done it several times. Prior to that, I can click on a variable name, but the confirmation dialog references a different one. I save a lot.

Conference: Technical Communication UK, 2009
Hi folks, As a Fellow of the ISTC in the UK, I have been asked to help out with promoting our conference this year (Technical Communication UK). Apart from more traditional marketing routes, we're dragging ourselves kicking and screaming into the 21st century by aiming to get exposure on Facebook and Twitter (@tcuk_conf) to name but two. I'm also contacting groups that are appropriate to myself and other tech comms specialists (I'm a Framemaker and InDesign user). If you're interested, please take a look at the conference web site, sign up to the newsletter or register: http://www.technicalcommunicationuk.com/ While the conference is primarily aimed at UK/European delegates, anyone is welcome to attend.

Re: Paragraph Designer Sticks in FM9
Am I correct in concluding that there are not yet patches to fix the keyboard shortcut bugs (F8 and F9 to assign character and paratags)? These are astounding bugs in what used to be a couple of the most useful tools in FM. Do any of the Adobe developers ever even bother to use their own software? Where was QC on this?? Right now I find myself in the sad position of using Word for documents I would normally do in FM. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the development of FM-9 was offshored?
