Tables on spreads

2012-05-15 Thread Steve Rickaby
To save me a load of thrashing around, can I just check that I'm correct in assuming that FrameMaker doesn't understand the concept of a 'spread', as in for example InDesign, i.e. two facing pages . I need to straddle tables across facing pages somehow. -- Steve

utility to check that all heading names are unique?

2012-05-15 Thread Robert Lauriston
Is there a utility that will check a FrameMaker book and report duplicate heading names? I'm working on migrating from FrameMaker to Confluence, and duplicate heading names would cause problems.

Random stray number

2012-05-15 Thread Steve Cavanaugh
FrameMaker 10, Windows 7 64 bit, all apps up to date. I am single-sourcing some content here (unstructured), and this issue is driving me bug eyed. I am using a lot of text insets that have numbering. I have two styles for numbering these - one that sets the numbering to start at 1, and the other

MIF2Go 4.0 & free offer

2012-05-15 Thread Robert Lauriston
Omni Systems released MIF2Go 4.0 last week. (It's an add-on for FrameMaker, competes with Flare, RoboHelp, and WebWorks.) This is the first major upgrade in a while. In addition to a lot of bug fixes (many previously distributed as patches), installation is simplified and you no longer need to cop

Throw Sharepoint to the Curb and Use SVN Instead

2012-05-15 Thread Joseph Lorenzini
