increment more than one $chapnum in a file?
Hi Leigh, The $chapnum variable is a file level marker. You can only have one chapter per file.

increment more than one $chapnum in a file?
I'm converting some Word files to unstructured FM9. These files have a numbered section as the top level. At the second level, they have one or more numbered chapters. When a file contains more than one numbered chapter, I can't get Frame to recognize that chapter as part of the $chapnum auto-increment. So instead of: Section I Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Section II Chapter 3 Section III Chapter 4 I get: Section I Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Section II Chapter 2 Section III Chapter 3 If I don't use $chapnum, and just use one of the regular counters instead () then the number doesn't increment across files. I seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place here. Is there any way to make $chapnum increment more than once per file? Or some other solution? Thanks, Leigh

Baruch is correct -- you can't increment $chapnum within a file. But there's more to be said. And more than one solution to your problem. You could forgo $chapnum and use a regular counter () in the autonumber of the chapter title paragraph as you thought. Incrementing that autonumber sequence across files is a piece of cake -- as long as you don't also have autonumber sequences that need to restart in each file. 1) In the book window, select all the files after the one containing Chapter 1. 2) Select Format > Document > Numbering. 3) In the Numbering Properties dialog, click the Paragraph tab. 4) Select Continue Numbering from Previous Paragraph in Book, and click Set. You're done. Unless you also have autonumber sequences (say, figures and tables) that need to restart in each file or chapter. In that case, you'd have to use special paragraphs that restart numbering for those autonumber sequences. Or use your chapter title paragraph to reset them. Maybe even construct the kind of complex multiple-counter autonumber sequences used prior to FM 6. The ins, outs, options, and alternatives are a bit much to go into here. A lot of this is fairly well explained in the FM manual/help. Here's one good source of more autonumber information: http://www.infocon.com/files/autonum.pdf Other sources can be found by googling "framemaker autonumbering" (sans quotes). Another solution -- and it may be preferable, in the long run -- is to put each chapter into its own file and use the $chapnum variable for the chapter title autonumber. Use the $volnum variable for the section title autonumber. In the Numbering Properties dialog, Chapter tab, set all the chapters after the first to Continue Numbering from Previous File in Book. (For the 1st chapter file, of course, set Chapter # explicitly to 1 and Format to Numeric.) For the files that _don't start a new section, in the Numbering Properties dialog, Volume tab, set the $volnum variable to Use Same Number As Previous File. For the ones after Section 1, set it to Continue Numbering from Previous File in Book. (For the 1st, set it explicitly like the chapter number, using ROMAN as the format.) HTH! Richard G.

Compiling FM into help files (wfp file)
Hello all, A client is requesting to recompile FM7 files after translation. The template file available in the staging directory has .wfp extension. Opening it in a text editor, I can see "quadralay-wdt-80" The output files requested are .chm and compiled online help. Is anybody able to tell me which tool has been used and which version? Thank you Anton David Localisation Project Manager Xlated ltd
Re: Compiling FM into help files (wfp file)
I believe that's the WebWorks project file and it predates 9.x so it might be WebWorks Publisher 2003 or something like that, which Quadralay no longer supports. If it's the project file, it won't help you anyway. It's in binary format and all it does is define the output format. It doesn't have any of the source in it. http://www.webworks.com/Support/ePublisher/Legacy_Docs/Online_Manuals/ePublisher_Pro/03_ManagingProjects.5.2.shtml On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 11:41 AM, Anton David wrote: > > Hello all, > > A client is requesting to recompile FM7 files after translation. > The template file available in the staging directory has .wfp extension. > Opening it in a text editor, I can see "quadralay-wdt-80" > The output files requested are .chm and compiled online help. > > Is anybody able to tell me which tool has been used and which version? > > Thank you > > Anton David > Localisation Project Manager > Xlated ltd > > > ___ > > > You are currently subscribed to framers as dr_go...@pobox.com. > > Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com. > > To unsubscribe send a blank email to > framers-unsubscr...@lists.frameusers.com > or visit > http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/dr_gonzo%40pobox.com > > Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com.

So Frustrated... Frame Drawing objects -> .mif conversion with r/w rules
It has been a long time since I have spent this much time trying to
figure out a function in FrameMaker.
Here is what I expect to happen.
I have an .xml file that I can open in FrameMaker and edit the
graphics using the frame graphic tools.
Upon save, it would save the anchored frame as .mif using the entity
name only with no counting.
I can reopen the xml file, make a change and upon save, the graphics
are still named the same.
Errors
- entity names continue to number.
- I can save the xml file successfully but I can not read back into FrameMaker.
(VERY CURIOUS ERROR. When I try to read it back into FrameMaker it
will not open and gives no error but at this point FrameMaker is
completely crashed. Any file I try to open is a white sheet.)
Below are the details of my application. If anyone has time to pick
through these details and me find a solution, it is greatly
appreciated.
Margaret
FM9.0p255
XP Service Pack3
I open and save to test my application using a .xml file, not .fm
I have a structured file with anchored frames with frame drawings.
XML Declaration*
XML Graphic Element
structapps.fm*
In the structapps.fm file I have also defined (with same definitions
as above) Entities in the XMLApplication Entities -> Entity ->
EntityName & FileName
template for xml application
On the reference page I have filled out the Entity Declarations, List
of Processing Instructions(PI)
mif is the Notation declaration and I have the Name, Type, System, and
Notation filled out in the Entity Declaration.

element "GRAPHIC" {
is fm graphic element;
writer anchored frame export to file "$(entity).mif"
as "MIF";

Release notes for Frame 10?
Hello All Does anyone know if there are Release Notes for Frame 10, RoboHelp 9, and/or TCS3? I've looked on the Adobe web site but don't see any. I'm interested to know whether any of the manifold bugs, annoyances, and crashes found in Frame 9 and the FM-RH "integration" have been addressed. (In other words, whether we should be looking at creating online output using something that works.)

Flare vs Frame
Here are answers to the software purchasing questions... Front Runner is also an Adobe Software Reseller... To answer Jim Pinkham's question... If your company purchased a Maintenance package with FrameMaker you would get updates/upgrades as they become available, provided the Maintenance is current. To answer Steve Johnson's question... If a customer wants to do backward licensing, they order the current version volume license of the product and the old ESD (Electronic Software Download - one version back). Then they call Adobe Customer Care at 800-443-8158 to request a serial number that matches the ESD. They will need to provide the Adobe order number for the current version order. Also, if they purchased an upgrade license (for example, CS3 to CS5), they will also need to provide the serial number of the original product they are upgrading from. It takes a few days to get the old serial number. This is a much easier process for someone who already has some volume licenses of the product they want to install and just needs to buy more of them. They don?t need to buy the old ESD unless they don?t already have the old media. And they don?t need to call for a serial number; they just use the old serial number they already have to install on additional workstations. If anyone is looking to purchase software let us know at Front Runner. We can provide you pricing for the software and when you purchase the software from us you get discounts on the training!

Compiling FM into help files (wfp file)
I believe that's the WebWorks project file and it predates 9.x so it might be WebWorks Publisher 2003 or something like that, which Quadralay no longer supports. If it's the project file, it won't help you anyway. It's in binary format and all it does is define the output format. It doesn't have any of the source in it. http://www.webworks.com/Support/ePublisher/Legacy_Docs/Online_Manuals/ePublisher_Pro/03_ManagingProjects.5.2.shtml On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 11:41 AM, Anton David wrote: > > ?Hello all, > > A client is requesting to recompile FM7 files after translation. > The template file available in the staging directory has .wfp extension. > Opening it in a text editor, I can see "quadralay-wdt-80" > The output files requested are .chm and compiled online help. > > Is anybody able to tell me which tool has been used and which version? > > Thank you > > Anton David > Localisation Project Manager > Xlated ltd > > > ___ > > > You are currently subscribed to framers as dr_gonzo at pobox.com. > > Send list messages to framers at lists.frameusers.com. > > To unsubscribe send a blank email to > framers-unsubscribe at lists.frameusers.com > or visit > http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/dr_gonzo%40pobox.com > > Send administrative questions to listadmin at frameusers.com.

Simple. Don't do it. Install the FM10 or TCS3 trial on a non-production machine only. You may find that any previous Frame version stops working, if not when you install the demo, then when you remove the demo or it expires.

Flare vs Frame
Flare is a full-blown single sourcing program, something like Structured Frame, and includes online help output. It's more complicated to use, but might be more powerful. I never used it. You have to take into account that the downside to using more complex and less popular programs is that the company you are working for would be stuck with getting writers that know that particular tool. Frame is a nice compromise of a relatively easy tool to learn, very popular and very powerful. Just my 2 cents.

Release notes for Frame 10?
Hello All Does anyone know if there are Release Notes for Frame 10, RoboHelp 9, and/or TCS3? I've looked on the Adobe web site but don't see any. I'm interested to know whether any of the manifold bugs, annoyances, and crashes found in Frame 9 and the FM-RH "integration" have been addressed. (In other words, whether we should be looking at creating online output using something that works.)

Re: FrameMaker search
Ragnar has some very good suggestions. 10 quick search and replaces might be the best bet. The MIF to Word to MIF round trip also works well.

So Frustrated... Frame Drawing objects -> .mif conversion with r/w rules
It has been a long time since I have spent this much time trying to
figure out a function in FrameMaker.
Here is what I expect to happen.
I have an .xml file that I can open in FrameMaker and edit the
graphics using the frame graphic tools.
Upon save, it would save the anchored frame as .mif using the entity
name only with no counting.
I can reopen the xml file, make a change and upon save, the graphics
are still named the same.
Errors
- entity names continue to number.
- I can save the xml file successfully but I can not read back into FrameMaker.
(VERY CURIOUS ERROR. When I try to read it back into FrameMaker it
will not open and gives no error but at this point FrameMaker is
completely crashed. Any file I try to open is a white sheet.)
Below are the details of my application. If anyone has time to pick
through these details and me find a solution, it is greatly
appreciated.
Margaret
FM9.0p255
XP Service Pack3
I open and save to test my application using a .xml file, not .fm
I have a structured file with anchored frames with frame drawings.
XML Declaration*
XML Graphic Element
structapps.fm*
In the structapps.fm file I have also defined (with same definitions
as above) Entities in the XMLApplication Entities -> Entity ->
EntityName & FileName
template for xml application
On the reference page I have filled out the Entity Declarations, List
of Processing Instructions(PI)
mif is the Notation declaration and I have the Name, Type, System, and
Notation filled out in the Entity Declaration.
*r/w rules*
element "GRAPHIC" {
? is fm graphic element;
?? writer anchored frame export to file "$(entity).mif"
??? as "MIF";

RE: Frame 9 and 10 - SOLVED
Jeremy: I've received lots of good advice. Most people say having 2 simultaneous versions on the same machine is fine - unless you want to uninstall one. That being the case, if the trial is actually a download, I'm going to load it on my old (current) machine after I get my new machine next week. I'll only get a few days to play with it before they take away the old system, but I'm really only looking for any "wow" upgrades that would make my life 200% easier. Anything less and I couldn't begin to justify the expense - particularly as my new (currently on order) system with software updates (excluding a monitor) is about $1900. Alison From: Jeremy H.

Simple. Don't do it. Install the FM10 or TCS3 trial on a non-production machine only. You may find that any previous Frame version stops working, if not when you install the demo, then when you remove the demo or it expires. It may be sufficient to install it in its own virtual machine, but I wouldn't risk a system on which my livelihood depended... Just my opinion. ;-) -- Jeremy H.

OmniHelp with Google Chrome
Hi All, Our Mif2Go OmniHelp files fail to load in Google Chrome. I realize that we need an ohct_.css file for Google Chrome. Anyone know if that file is available?

FrameMaker search
You can do 10 quick searches: 1in, 2in, 3in etc, and then replace by 1 in, 2 in, 3 in. I have done so on several occasions, and it doesn?t take much extra time compared to one major search. The other option would be to save as MIF, then open in Word. However, when searching in Word as you describe, can you insert the space correctly and proceed by just clicking "enter" or do you need to do it manually? Ragnar Hanas Uddevalla Hospital, Sweden -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Nancy Allison Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 10:45 PM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: FrameMaker search Hi, all. I need to correct the measurements, in inches, in which the space has been omitted between the number and the unit. In other words: Height: 17in Depth: 21in Width: 10in Or: The unit is 17in deep. In Word, I could specify that a numerical value precedes the alpha characters "in" and perform a search. In FrameMaker, is there a way to make a search that specific? As it is, I believe I have to search for every instance of "in," which turns up every word that contains the two letters "in" including, well, **including**. It's rare that I long for Word, but this is one of those instances. I can save the whole thing to RTF and do the search in Word, but I'd like to find out first if Frame has the capability. --Nancy ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as ragnar.hanas at betamed.se.

RE: FrameMaker search
You can do 10 quick searches: 1in, 2in, 3in etc, and then replace by 1 in, 2 in, 3 in. I have done so on several occasions, and it doesn´t take much extra time compared to one major search. The other option would be to save as MIF, then open in Word. However, when searching in Word as you describe, can you insert the space correctly and proceed by just clicking "enter" or do you need to do it manually?

I need to correct the measurements, in inches, in which the space has been omitted between the number and the unit. In other words: Height: 17in Depth: 21in Width: 10in Or: The unit is 17in deep. In Word, I could specify that a numerical value precedes the alpha characters "in" and perform a search. In FrameMaker, is there a way to make a search that specific? As it is, I believe I have to search for every instance of "in," which turns up every word that contains the two letters "in" including, well, **including**. It's rare that I long for Word, but this is one of those instances. I can save the whole thing to RTF and do the search in Word, but I'd like to find out first if Frame has the capability. --Nancy ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as ragnar.ha...@betamed.se.

Re: FrameMaker search
This is for Frame 9: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/9.0/Using/WSd817046a44e105e21e63e3d11ab7f7862b-7ff6.html Frame supports wildcard characters in search but it might not do what you want.

You can still buy Frame 8 using a special kind of licensing I can't think of now, maybe volume licensing. Search the Adobe Forum; you'll find it.

I'll have to talk to IT and my boss but I think I'd like to go for Windows 7 64 bit - as long as everyone realizes that software upgrades may be in the cards if "compatibility mode" throws up any roadblocks. The reading I've done on the web seems split between success and failure in getting older programs to run reliably. However, the driver issue in XP 64 bit seems a bigger stumbling block to me. And I've never been fond of the idea of upgrading to brand new hardware and using XP Pro 32 bit - sort of like driving a formula one car with a speed limiter of 50 miles an hour.

But: Have you considered that the new computer may not work (from a _hardware_ perspective) with XP Pro 64? You may find that it has new hardware elements for which there are no XP Pro 64 bit drivers - including video drivers or disk drivers, etc. And these possibly _never_ will be provided ... that OS is way too old for most manufacturers to support now for new hardware. And, this is likely to be a bigger show-stopper than an old application not running under Windows 7! Why do you need an extra $1000 in upgrades? In almost all the cases I know of, the application programs that run under XP Pro should work just fine in Win 7. I am running very reliably on a new laptop running Windows 7 64-bit on all my old and new applications - absolutely _nothing_ failed to work! Also, my son's two systems (one is 5+ years old and now runs Windows 7 32-bit, and the other is a few weeks old and runs Windows 7 64-bit) handle his old graphics-intensive video games, designed for XP, just fine too! And, if you do have any problems with any given application in Windows 7, you can set XP Pro SP3 compatibility mode to the specific executables that are of concern. Your IT department should know how to do this easily. And, finally, there is something new in Win 7 (an add-on from Microsoft) called "XP Mode" that can run other old apps too, if you have problems with just setting compatibility mode. So ... most importantly ... have you tested the specific other apps you are concerned about, in Windows 7, to see if the upgrades are indeed required? Bottom Line (IMHO): XP Pro is simply too old an OS for many newer applications ... whereas older applications can generally be tweaked to run fine under Windows 7. In your shoes, I would move to Windows 7 and figure out how to bring the older apps along to it. But, without actual testing, I cannot say this with certainty in your case. So, my suggestion would be to load the Windows 7 64-bit, load the applications, see how
Re: Flare vs Frame
Flare is a full-blown single sourcing program, something like Structured Frame, and includes online help output. It's more complicated to use, but might be more powerful. I never used it. You have to take into account that the downside to using more complex and less popular programs is that the company you are working for would be stuck with getting writers that know that particular tool. Frame is a nice compromise of a relatively easy tool to learn, very popular and very powerful. Just my 2 cents.

I would like to convince them to switch to Flare or Frame 8. I think that they might agree to switch if I can show them that it would be worth it. I told them that Frame would make the development of the .chm-friendly content much easier than Word, because of Frame's advanced x-ref options, for one thing. I believe that I can go from Frame to .chm. Never did it before. I am not familiar with Flare, so I could not "sell" Flare per se. Also, a key selling point would be writing software that would provide an online review environment in which the SMEs could make tracked changes to my document, and I could then accept or change or ignore their changes at my leisure. I do not see that Flare provides an online review environment for SMEs. Framemaker 8 did not provide this. I am not familiar with Frame 9. Could anyone offer any guidance on this?
