RE: Add Master Page of Different Size
Hi Nancy, Sorry for the delay. This can be done using postscript code on your master pages. Make your master pages the largest size you'll need (in this case 11 X 17) and then place a postscript textbox somewhere each master page to trim it to the final size you want.

Frame 7.2 re-installation issue
I reinstalled Frame 7.2, but I can't get it to open. When I try to open Frame, the splash screen comes up and most it seems to load. But when it gets to the Core the splash screen closes. I checked Windows Task Manager and the FrameMaker.exe task is running when the splash screen is open, but FrameMaker.exe disappears when the splash screen closes. I am able to get Frame 7.0 to work, but not 7.2. I tried uninstalling all FrameMaker versions and reinstalling, but it did not help. The cause could be the numerous changes that I've made to my computer in the last few years, including installing and uninstalling the trial version of Acrobat 9, repartitioning my hard drive, etc. Does anyone have an idea of how I could solve this?

RE: Procedure How to Write a Manual!
I've enjoyed reading all the input on this thread, and I had a few more thoughts. Unfortunately, the way Reid writes it below, it looks like anyone can have the writer role. I would've written: 4. Technical Writer who knows enough to understand the SME, learns about the audience and its lingo, distills all the essentials out of these to make an easy to absorb document, and knows the tools and formats well enough to do it all quickly. In any job, I think people need their core skills but also an understanding and certain competency in the skills of those around them. To that extent, I'm sure engineers can and do write decent docs sometimes, but they're probably more efficient at their engineering tasks. I'm pretty sure we all know this, but it is exactly this that is important to communicate in the case of this pointy-haired boss. Nor does the boss seem to understand how a good writer can save money and improve customer satisfaction. To be a good writer, you also have to understand where management is coming from... BTW, I actually don't think it's productive for writers to use big words for the sake of using big words. Writers must use whatever words speak to their audience. Andy ak...@jaspersoft.com Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 14:51:39 -0400 From: Reid Gray rg...@interactivesupercomputing.com Subject: RE: Procedure How to Write a Manual! I think the list agrees that not just anybody can write a good manual. And No, writers cannot be just anybody. They must be committed, they need to love language, and as Annie Dillard says ...you really need to like words... words such as 'transmogrify' Or, if you will extend the metaphor to IT, endianess. The best writing happens as a collective effort with the writer at the center. So, for example, take manuals. To write a good manual, one needs: 1. Subject matter experts for authoritative content 2. Enthusiastic reviewers who know the audience and have exposure to the subject matter 3. Editors who know the language 4. The technical writer Trying as a single individual to serve in roles 1 through 4 is possible, but the more 'eyes' you have scanning the pages the better the expected outcome. This is especially true if you are writing complete books, manuals, and periodicals, from scratch. There is also an equally beneficial flip side to this postulate. If you find either transmogrify or endianess to be ugly, and if you think anybody in particular can plant a garden, repair an automobile, or write a technical manual, you might be management material. ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Motivating users/typography, etc.
Good points, Mike. Let's not forget that devil reverse type (drives me crazy regardless of colors), proper use of sans serif vs. serif type, line length, etc., etc. There are so many considerations regarding document design you could write a book about it. In fact, several people have. A text from one of my courses I've taken (taught by Sharon Burton, if I'm not mistaken) might be of interest: Karen Schriver's Dynamics in Document Design. cal ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

It's from Frame, either during one of the saves or during the load.

It's from Frame, either during one of the saves or during the load. Sounds like it has to do with a color property... that's what FSeparation is for fonts, CSeparation for conditions, etc. It's the position of the color in the ColorCatalog. So it means something is referencing a color that's not defined. -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. http://www.omsys.com/
