AW: Conditional Text and Keyboard Shortcuts

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Alison,

You can copy all conditions applied to a selected text with Edit | Copy
Special |Conditional Text Settings. Then select the text to which you
want to apply the conditions and just paste the clipboard content with
CTRL + v. You can also paste this setting with Find/Change.

Best regards

Winfried

Betreff: Conditional Text and Keyboard Shortcuts

FM 9 Version: 9.0p255
Unstructured
OS: Windows 7, 64 bit (new, PITA PC)
FM Experience: 2+years


I've looked in the Adobe FM PDF and can't find the keyboard shortcuts I'm 
looking for...

Is there a way to select multiple Condition tags and apply them in one step?

And after you've selected and applied the set of multiple Condition tags once, 
is there a keyboard shortcut for "repeat Condition tags" (as "Esc jj" repeats 
the application of the last Paragraph tag)?

I have had to add a new Condition to my books which requires me to 
conditionalize a lot of text (and table insets) that were not previously marked 
with any Conditions. Needless to say, having to apply the same five Conditions 
over and over is time consuming and beyond tedious.

How to delete a blank page

[Writer]

Are you creating a double-sided document? Is it the back side of the 
title page?

To elaborate a little on what Nadine said: A double-sided book necessarily (at 
least in the left-to-right languages) starts on a right-hand page because it's 
intended to have the binding on the left. So your title page is a right-hand 
page. 

In your book window, select the file _after_ the title page file and go to 
Format > Page Layout > Pagination. If its 1st Page Side is set to Right, well 
... a right-hand page can't follow a right-hand page because every page in a 
double-sided book has a back -- the left-hand page. 

So FM adds that required left-hand page to your title page file as page 2. And 
the file after it starts on page 3. You can set the file after's 1st Page Side 
to Next Available, if you want, and FM will discard the 2nd page of the title 
file and start the file after on page 2 (a left-hand page). 

BTW, don't use the Read from File setting for files included in a book. It's 
better and less error-prone to set the pagination for all files in the book 
explicitly in the book window.

Ctrl-click the text frame, right-click, and select Object Properties. In the 
Customize Text Frame dialog box, under Flow, is Autoconnect checked? If not, 
that's the problem. That option tells FM to automatically create additional 
pages as necessary to hold all the text in the flow. 

But don't just turn it on there. This option should be set on your master 
pages. If you're fairly new to FM and don't know about flows and master pages, 
and how they work to control the layout of your document, you'll need to spend 
some quality time with the manual, a third-party book on FM (any version, 
really; this stuff hasn't changed since the dawn of time), or at least the 
online help. :-)

Re: Cannot create PDF from one chapter in my book

[Brian Chan]

Thank you all. I took a look at page 9 this morning since the hiccup is on that 
page. There is a photo on that page. I removed that photo and tried to create a 
PDF again. This time, I was able to create a PDF without any problems. It was 
the photo that was causing the problem. You guys are wonderful!

I can't help you with your first question, but for the second, there is a 
maker.ini setting to tell FrameMaker to use the system cursor. In the 
Preferences section of your maker.ini file, make sure you have this line:

UseSystemCursor=On

Then you can set one of the large Windows cursor schemes and FrameMaker 
will use it.

Oddly, it works for the mouse cursor, but not for the insertion point 
cursor. In Windows, it's possible to modify that cursor so it's wider I've 
done it on my system, although for the life of me I can't remember how 
it's done, but googling produced several hits, including this one: 

http://bucarotechelp.com/computers/wintips/92062104.asp 

Word picks up the setting just fine but not all other applications respect 
it. For example, FrameMaker ignores it as well as Lotus Notes, which I'm 
using to write this. 

Personally, I'd rate that as a bug and maybe you should raise the issue 
with Adobe.

Keith

Use the condition builder with the Boolean expressions to build your own custom

Taking a flier at this, for Mac OS there are built-ins to improve all sorts of 
bits of the interface to deal with various impairments (not that I'm suggesting 
you have an impairment: the I-beam has always been a bit hard to spot). 
However, I am sure, from memory, that before these were added to the OS, there 
were third-party hac... bolt-ones to achieve the same thing.

Have you checked to see if there are any third-party tools to increase cursor 
size OS-wide for Windows?

Columns don't flow

[Michael Morling]

I have an 8.5 x 11 page divided into two equal columns with content in each.

When I get to the bottom of the right column the text seems to pile up rather 
than flow to the next page.

I'm sure it's a simple formatting item I'm missing, but I can't make it work.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

How to delete a blank page

[Brian Chan]

I use Format > Page Layout > Pagination and set the Before Saving & Printing 
drop-down to delete an empty page in the Title page of a book. But when I 
regenerate the book, the blank page comes back. What is the proper way to 
delete a blank page?



Thanks,
Brian

FrameMaker 10 Interface/Accessibility questions

You probably should post this on the Wishlist page:

I suspect I'm out of luck on these, but it doesn't hurt to ask:

FrameMaker 10.0.1.1402
Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit


1.   When I am reconciling index entries, I keep all the individual book 
files open in separate undocked windows, which keeps them from opening in the 
primary workspace as I edit a zillion index markers. With 10-20 windows open, 
it becomes difficult to know which window is the currently active chapter 
(sometimes I need to open that window a bit larger to check context of a 
marker) because there is ZERO color difference between active and inactive 
windows. I have not found any way to make the active file window stand out from 
all the others. This appears to be a Framemaker issue rather than Windows, as 
all Aero effects are disabled on windows generated within FrameMaker


2.   I need the i-frame text position indicator (cursor) within the 
document (not the hovering cursor that moves as you move your mouse) to be more 
prominent on the screen. I frequently lose track of where I am, and have to 
either hit up and down arrows to see where the text indicator is moving. 
Ideally there would be a way to set the color, thickness, and blink frequency 
for it, for no other reason than aiding accessibility.

Thanks in advance.

I can't help you with your first question, but for the second, there is a 
maker.ini setting to tell FrameMaker to use the system cursor. In the 
Preferences section of your maker.ini file, make sure you have this line:

UseSystemCursor=On

Then you can set one of the large Windows cursor schemes and FrameMaker 
will use it.

Oddly, it works for the mouse cursor, but not for the insertion point 
cursor. In Windows, it's possible to modify that cursor so it's wider I've 
done it on my system, although for the life of me I can't remember how 
it's done, but googling produced several hits, including this one: 

http://bucarotechelp.com/computers/wintips/92062104.asp 

Word picks up the setting just fine but not all other applications respect 
it. For example, FrameMaker ignores it as well as Lotus Notes, which I'm 
using to write this. 

Personally, I'd rate that as a bug and maybe you should raise the issue 
with Adobe.

Keith

Taking a flier at this, for Mac OS there are built-ins to improve all sorts of 
bits of the interface to deal with various impairments (not that I'm suggesting 
you have an impairment: the I-beam has always been a bit hard to spot). 
However, I am sure, from memory, that before these were added to the OS, there 
were third-party hac... bolt-ones to achieve the same thing.

Have you checked to see if there are any third-party tools to increase cursor 
size OS-wide for Windows?

Cannot create PDF from one chapter in my book

[Brian Chan]

Thank you all. I took a look at page 9 this morning since the hiccup is on that 
page. There is a photo on that page. I removed that photo and tried to create a 
PDF again. This time, I was able to create a PDF without any problems. It was 
the photo that was causing the problem. You guys are wonderful!

Is there a picture in there (on page 8 or maybe 7) that could be corrupt?
