Merging books: Need FM mechanisms and methodologies for merging books with large fraction of identical material

2009-10-12 Thread Avraham Makeler
Hi all,
  RE: Merging books

The situation:

I have a client who has a large number of FM (7.2/8) books. From amongst
these books, there are two particular sets of books, as follows:

Set #1. Two books having about 50 - 60% identical content  (each book is
~100 pages)

Set #2. Four books having about 10% identical content  (each book is ~80-100
pages)

(No particular connection between the two sets of books; just presenting the
situation.)

Now, the client would like to merge each of these two sets of books so that
each set combines the identical material. E.g., for set #1 above, either the
two books should be combined and the text partitioned by conditional text
controls, or maybe the two books should be kept separate but the identical
part should be maintained in some sort of outside, third, common component
or "book" (or whatever such a thing would be called), and then when you have
to publish one of the two books, you would be able to include in "on the
fly" the common, identical component.

Same for set #2.


Questions:

1. What mechanisms does FM provide for constructing merged solutions for
each of these two sets of books?
2. Which mechanism and methodology are recommended for each of the two sets
of books?
3. How long should I estimate it would take me to perform merges for each of
the two sets of books?

TIA

quotes rendered as question mark in FM9

2009-10-12 Thread LW White

I'm using FM9 and suddenly find that my single and double quotes key types a 
question mark. This issue is limited to FM9. Doesn't occur in FM8 or any other 
application, so I suspect I have inadvertently changed a keyboard mapping 
somewhere in FM9, but I can't find where. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

FW: quotes rendered as question mark in FM9

2009-10-12 Thread LW White

Believe I discovered the cause of the problem. It seems to be patch p237, which 
also appears to cause some other reported problems like the Paragraph Designer 
sticking, etc. Ill-conceived patch. I uninstalled it and now everything seems 
to be fine.
