Hello.  My translation vendor is using FrameMaker to translate English 
documents to Turkish.  But he has the following problem:

I am transferring Turkish text to the FrameMaker file, and I am losing some 
Turkish characters.  For example, the ğ in the word değildir.

Any idea why this is happening?

Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

2012-05-24 Thread Syed Zaeem Hosain (syed.hos...@aeris.net)

Hi, all.

I'm working in FM 10 in a Win 7 environment.

I have placed some tall, thin graphics in an anchored frame that is run into 
the paragraph and positioned Left on the page. The text flows down the right 
side of the graphic.

Everything works beautifully except I can't figure out how to keep the caption 
with the graphic. Sometimes the text is not as tall as the graphic, so I would 
have to use a series of returns to move the cursor down to beneath the anchored 
frame, and enter the caption there. This is do-able but clunky and prone to 
problems if the text is ever edited.

I therefore created a text frame inside the anchored frame and put the caption 
there, which works physically but breaks the hyperlinks to the cross-reference 
in the text (See Figure X.) For the time being, I've deleted the x-refs, 
since they aren't really necessary in such an obvious page layout. (But one of 
my reviewers is absolutely going to say, where's the 'See Figure X' Be 
copnsistent! Consistency above all else!!)

How can I get a caption with working hyperlinks positioned directly under the 
anchored frame?

Thanks.

Does the version of FrameMaker that he is using support Unicode? That may be

I'm slightly baffled here, unless I've misunderstood you. If by hyperlinks you 
mean a cross-reference from the text to a figure caption within a text frame 
within an anchored frame (which will appear as a hyperlink in a PDF), then 
that's the way I've been doing figure captions for years. The type of anchored 
frame shouldn't make any difference.

If by 'it breaks the hyperlinks', you mean that the figure caption 
cross-references break when you *move* the captions into the text frames, then 
that should not happen: the existing cross-reference destination marker should 
move with the text.

Or perhaps you mean that the figure reference is itself in the text you moved 
into the text frame within the figure's anchored frame?

The figure caption should in a text frame which should have no flow tag. I am 
looking at one working here. However, if there is something about your setup 
I've not understood, maybe you could send a test file for me to look at?

Re: Re: Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

Thanks to everyone who has replied on the list or privately!

I discovered that I didn't have the problem I thought I had. I had another one.

If you are curious, read on. 


I was adding x-refs into the text methodically, going from figure to figure. 
When I went looking for Figure 2-8, it wasn't there in the Cross-ref'erence 
drop-down list.. The list skipped from Figure 2-7 to Figure 2-10. I assumed 
that it happened because I'd put the captions to Figures 2-8 and 2-9 into the 
anchored frame and Frame had not seen them.


I didn't scroll down further, because never in 20 years has FrameMaker listed 
the figure numbers out of order. 


But when I do scroll down in the listing in the Cross-Reference box, the list 
goes like this:


Figure 2-6
Figure 2-7 
Figure 2-10 
Figure 2-8 
Figure 2-9
Figure 2-9 
Figure 2-10 
Figure 2-8 
Figure 2-11
Figure 2-12


and on normally.


Now I am hunting through the file using Find -- Paragraph Tag Caption to see 
what it turns up. Maybe I've buried figure tags behind anchored frames or some 
such bizarre thing. This problem is definitely related to my use of Run-in 
anchored frames, which I've never used before . . . but I think I did something 
strange, not FrameMaker!

RE: Re: Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

Hi Alison,

To have the cross-reference source text out of order is not uncommon with
FrameMaker. It will get the figure captions in the main flow first, and then
pick up the ones inside of the anchored frames. This will sometimes happen
with your generated lists like TOCs.

RE: Turkish Characters Don't Display

Here is some more information from my translator.

- FrameMaker 7.1
- Windows Vista Home Premium

- Turkish text is being transfered from TTX (Trados) format to MIF. The 
characters get lost in the transfer. We found a font called Arial TUR for FM. 
Once we have the text in MIF, we change the font to Arial TUR and it is working.

- Destination paragraph style font is Arial TUR. Check and see that you have 
Arial TUR in your list of fonts for FM.

Ed Lightle

Re: Re: Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

Nancy

Not nodded off at all.

Out of sequence figure numbers aren't that unusual in FrameMaker, but missing 
figure numbers in an xref list are definitely pathological. As to the former, 
I've never really researched what causes it, but it's certainly linked to two 
figures falling on the same page.

As to your screenshot, I'd be immediately alerted to the apparent presence of 
doubled-up figure numbers. As FrameMaker's numbering engine works per-flow, my 
initial though would be that you have two mixed flows. That would sure as hell 
confuse both you and FrameMaker.

I will now go and read all the latest posting to see what you really do have ;-)

Re: Re: Re: Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

 Ken, thank you!

To understand your description fully, I have a couple of questions.

You wrote: The graphic numbering itself is done using a text string we named 
Section Graphic Counter located inside the small text box below the graphic 
(but inside the anchored frame).

By text string do you mean paragraph tag? If you mean something else, I don't 
follow what that could be. 


If Section Graphic Counter is a paragraph tag, did you use F:Fig. 
$chapnum-n+ as the counter in this tag?

You wrote:

Yet, we found that sometimes, for whatever reason, the building blocks on some 
counters were 

Fig. $chapnum-n+ (note the missing F: preceding the word Fig.)

Clicking on a correctly defined Section Graphic Counter, then choosing Update 
All took care of our numbering problems.

By in some counters do you mean that you had various instances of the 
paragraph tag Section Graphic Counter that had been manually changed so that 
the counter did not have the F:?

So when you clicked one of the correct Section Graphic Counter paragraph tags 
and Updated All to match that one, your counting problems went away?

Thanks.

newlinks and gotolinks in Acrobat

Hello Framers,

A client uncovered a problem that I was previously not aware of. If you
insert matching newlink and gotolink markers in a document, and you
Control+Alt+Click on the gotolink marker, FrameMaker will jump to the
newlink marker as you would expect. However, after you make the PDF, the
link no longer goes to the location of the named destination created by the
newlink marker, but it goes to the named destination of the paragraph
containing the marker. In most cases, you won't notice it, but if the
paragraph starts on a different page than the marker location, then it
becomes a problem.

Interestingly, a named destination for the newlink marker is created in the
PDF, but the link does not point to that destination; it points to the named
destination for the paragraph, which is at the start of the paragraph.

Frankly, I am dumbfounded by this behavior. I tested it in FrameMaker 8 and
10 and it works the same. It looks like a case of Adobe trying to help,
but for this client, it makes these links unusable in many cases.

If you are having trouble visualizing what I am talking about, you can
download a sample PDF at

Better Way to Assign Master Pages?

2012-05-24 Thread Karen Robbins


Hello Framers,

Is there in Frame 9 a quick (or at least efficient) way of assigning 
a master page to multiple body pages at once?


I am dumping text from one Frame doc into another that is essentially 
a galley proof--one text frame with changing running heads based half 
on heading tags and half on other content.


Applying a master page to a range of body pages (or all pages) in the 
Master Page Usage dialog would take care of only a portion of my 
document at best, since the running heads often change every page and 
often are not consecutive. I tried mapping a master page to a heading 
tag in the Master Page Maps reference page, but that doesn't seem to 
work: once I manually apply a master page, the reference page setting 
for until changed appears to function, but the master associated 
with the heading isn't being applied automatically in the first 
place. Maybe I don't understand the operation of the Master Page Maps 
table?


I am wishing for something like QuarkXPress' Page Layout palette, 
where one can click-and-drag a master page icon onto a page or group 
of page icons to apply.


Hope I've just forgotten something simple--very possible since I only 
do this project once a year. I don't look forward to applying master 
pages manually hundreds of times.


Thanks,
Karen

Re: Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

 Hi, all.

 I'm working in FM 10 in a Win 7 environment.

 I have placed some tall, thin graphics in an anchored frame that is run into
 the paragraph and positioned Left on the page. The text flows down the right
 side of the graphic.

 Everything works beautifully except I can't figure out how to keep the caption
 with the graphic. Sometimes the text is not as tall as the graphic, so I would
 have to use a series of returns to move the cursor down to beneath the
 anchored frame, and enter the caption there. This is do-able but clunky and
 prone to problems if the text is ever edited.

 I therefore created a text frame inside the anchored frame and put the caption
 there, which works physically but breaks the hyperlinks to the cross-reference
 in the text (See Figure X.) For the time being, I've deleted the x-refs,
 since they aren't really necessary in such an obvious page layout. (But one of
 my reviewers is absolutely going to say, where's the 'See Figure X' Be
 copnsistent! Consistency above all else!!)

 How can I get a caption with working hyperlinks positioned directly under the
 anchored frame?

Integrating table footnotes into chapter flow.

2012-05-24 Thread Harding, Dan

Good morning,

I have a book where the powers that be want ALL footnotes to be part of the 
same numbering sequence and appear at the bottom of pages... even footnotes 
whose references appear in tables. Since by default footnotes within  a table 
are placed immediately below the table and have their own lettering/numbering, 
How do I accomplish this?

The only way that I'm aware of is a hack/kludge that almost makes things worse: 
Within tables place superscripted text that mimics a footnote reference, and 
then immediately above or below the table, place the real footnote, with the 
reference tagged in white so it is invisible when printing.

I hate it, and presents a royal fustercluck if any footnotes are added or 
removed within the chapter.

Is there a workable fix?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ed, From my experience, working with those Arial subsets is not optimal,

Re: Re: Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

Nancy,

We number our images as described earlier (a text box positioned below  the 
graphic with both the graphic and text box within an anchored  frame). 


In our case, our style is for the anchored frame is consistently 3.25  inches 
wide, variable height, right-aligned (on the right side of the  page), and 
anchored as Run into Paragraph with the text on the left  side of the page. 
Pretty standard.

The graphic image itself is consistently 2.75 inches wide of variable height 
(depending on the subject being portrayed).

NOTE: The reason for the slightly wider anchored graphic is to force the  text 
at the left side of the page to be no more than 3.75 inches wide.  Yeah, I know 
that the better way is to simply define that right-margin  in Format -- 
Paragraph -- Designer -- Basic, but even though  I prefer consistent page 
layout even if there is no graphic on the  right side, I lost that battle and 
sometimes we have full-page width  text, sometimes not. Some of you might 
recall 
my recent rants about my  recent battle to use running headers instead of 
simply 
the chapter name  in the chapter headers. This is a hell of a place.

ANYWAY . . . 

The graphic numbering itself is done using a text string we named  Section 
Graphic Counter located inside the small text box below the  graphic (but 
inside the anchored frame).

We found that one must be VERY detail-oriented with this stuff, because after 
having problems similar to yours (Nancy), we discovered the problem was in the 
syntax of the definition.

Specifically, using Format -- Paragraph -- Designer -- Numbering, the 
building blocks were

F:Fig. $chapnum-n+

Yet, we found that sometimes, for whatever reason, the building blocks on some 
counters were 


Fig. $chapnum-n+ (note the missing F: preceding the word Fig.)

Clicking on a correctly defined Section Graphic Counter, then choosing Update 
All took care of our numbering problems.

Our remaining problem is how to position the graphic counter box  consistently 
just-so; it's supposed to be flush left with the graphic  and just a teeny-tiny 
bot below the graphic (note the professional  distance description).

That's my take on it.

Subject: Re: Re: Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

Thanks to everyone who has replied on the list or privately!

I discovered that I didn't have the problem I thought I had. I had another one.

If you are curious, read on. 


I  was adding x-refs into the text methodically, going from figure to  figure. 
When I went looking for Figure 2-8, it wasn't there in the  Cross-ref'erence 
drop-down list.. The list skipped from Figure 2-7 to  Figure 2-10. I assumed 
that it happened because I'd put the captions to  Figures 2-8 and 2-9 into the 
anchored frame and Frame had not seen  them.


I didn't scroll down further, because never in 20 years has FrameMaker listed 
the figure numbers out of order. 



But when I do scroll down in the listing in the Cross-Reference box, the list 
goes like this:


Figure 2-6
Figure 2-7 
Figure 2-10 
Figure 2-8 
Figure 2-9
Figure 2-9 
Figure 2-10 
Figure 2-8 
Figure 2-11
Figure 2-12


and on normally.


Now  I am hunting through the file using Find -- Paragraph Tag Caption to  
see 
what it turns up. Maybe I've buried figure tags behind anchored  frames or some 
such bizarre thing. This problem is definitely related to  my use of Run-in 
anchored frames, which I've never used before . . .  but I think I did 
something 
strange, not FrameMaker!

Section Graphic Counter (was: Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure)

Hi Nancy,

Yes, we created a paragraph tag with that name and defined it as described. 

But a previous member of the tech pubs department here haphazardly did what he 
wanted to do. He couldn't write, wouldn't follow directions, wouldn't 
spell-check, wouldn't proofread, but DID create or modify paragraph tags to his 
liking.

So, yes,  and when we built one book using another as a template, we sometimes 
found problems with its graphic image numbering thanks to this guy.

So yes, the paragraph tag should be defined as F: Fig. $chapnum-n+

This results in (for instance) Fig. 2-3 (the third graphic in section 2 of 
the 
book).

One caveat: In order to make sure your first graphic of the current book 
section 
is numbered 1, you have either of two methods to use:

* Create a separate paragraph tag called Section Graphic Counter 1 
and define 
it as F: Fig. $chapnum-n=1OR

* Remember to go into the building block field to change n+ to n=1 
and 
click ApplyOtherwise, the first graphic of the next book section will be the 
next sequential number from the previous book section. There's nothing like 
overlooking this and then seeing your 300-page pdf coming out with the first 
graphic of section 6 as Fig. 6-234 (or whatever). Just catch it before you go 
to print or post it online for the universe to see.

When it works, it works beautifully. When it doesn't, you just want to scream.

To understand your description fully, I have a couple of questions.

You wrote: The graphic numbering itself is done using a text string we named 
Section Graphic Counter located inside the small text box below the graphic 
(but inside the anchored frame).

By text string do you mean paragraph tag? If you mean something else, I don't 
follow what that could be. 



If Section Graphic Counter is a paragraph tag, did you use F:Fig. 
$chapnum-n+ as the counter in this tag?

You wrote:

Fig. $chapnum-n+ (note the missing F: preceding the word Fig.)

Clicking on a correctly defined Section Graphic Counter, then choosing Update

By in some counters do you mean that you had various instances of the 
paragraph tag Section Graphic Counter that had been manually changed so that 
the 
counter did not have the F:?

So when you clicked one of the correct Section Graphic Counter paragraph tags 
and Updated All to match that one, your counting problems went away?

Thanks.

Re: Turkish Characters Don't Display

Hi Ed,
Frame 7.0 didn't support Unicode. As I recall, when we were faced with a similar problem, we had to perform some registry editing to get Frame to see Arial TUR. You'll have to search online for the coding because it's been long enough I've forgotten how we did it. Even there, because Frame allocates certain key codes to internal functions, some letters consistently mapped incorrectly and had to be edited manually.

RE: Better Way to Assign Master Pages?

2012-05-24 Thread Syed Zaeem Hosain (syed.hos...@aeris.net)

Karen Robbins wrote:
 
 Is there in Frame 9 a quick (or at least efficient) way of assigning
 a master page to multiple body pages at once?
 
 I am dumping text from one Frame doc into another that is essentially
 a galley proof--one text frame with changing running heads based half
 on heading tags and half on other content.


The quick and efficient way is to use FM's default Right and Left master pages 
(for two-sided docs), which are automatically applied to right and left pages 
that you don't assign a custom master page to. It sounds like you're not using 
those at all and are trying to use custom master pages for every page. 

I can't imagine why that would be necessary. But then I don't really understand 
what you're saying about running heads. 

What I think of as running heads are normally implemented via the Running H/F 
system variables (of which there are a bunch). The definition of a Running H/F 
variable can specify a list of paragraph tags from which it pulls the content 
specified by its building blocks, displaying on any given page the content for 
the first instance of one of the specified paragraphs. For instance, Running 
H/F 1 might be defined as: 

$paratext[Head1, Head2, Head3, NoteHead, SomeOtherPgfTag, YetAnotherPgfTag]

If the first instance of any of those pgf tags on a page is Head3, Running H/F 
1 would display the text of that Head3 in the running head of that page. So you 
don't need a custom master page to change what the running head displays. 

Even if you need more than the default Right and Left pages, they should work 
for the majority of the pages, with a limited number of custom master pages for 
the outlier cases. 

I don't use master page mapping, but I understand it's a pretty solid feature. 
Are you remembering to apply master pages when you update the book? It's a 
check box in the Update Book dialog box.

HTH, and apologies if I've misunderstood the problem.

RE: Best way to rename individual book files and book name in FrameMaker 9

 Will someone please help with this question?
 Thank you,
 John

1. Start by making a backup copy of everything in case you mess up, so that you 
can recover gracefully!

2. Exit FrameMaker (or certainly make darn sure that you are not editing the 
book or any of its files!)

3. In the OS (I assume Windows), change _just_ the book name to whatever you 
need it to be - whether you do this in a DOS window or from the File Explorer 
is up to you.

4. Open the newly renamed book in FrameMaker - you will see the included 
filenames still be the old name(s).

5. Individually change the file names of each file of the book, from _inside_ 
the book (i.e., within FrameMaker).

Of course, this could be painful if there are a large number of files inside 
the book ... in that case, I would probably prefer to mess with the MIF copies 
of the files and book with a text editor instead. This needs care, of course.

You have to rename the component files of a book in the book window, or you'll 
break all references between files. Right-click a file and select Rename File. 
Unless it's changed since 7.2, you'll have to acknowledge a couple of messages 
for each name change, so it's a bit of a PITA for a big book. 

You could rename the book in Windows Explorer (or your preferred file manager), 
but it's simpler, IMHO, to just do File  Save Book As in FM. If you do that, 
FM renames the generated files (TOC, etc.) to match the book name. Later, you 
can just delete the old book file.

Re: Integrating table footnotes into chapter flow.

2012-05-24 Thread Alan Litchfield

Hi Dan,

I feel your pain, having been there, done that.

I figure the demand arises because there is a certain, single word processor 
that does it that way, albeit that this way is not correct.

Organising the footnote numbering sequence is not much of an issue. This is 
part of the numbering control at the book level (assuming you are using a book 
file). FM footnotes typically appear at the bottom of the page (it is normally 
demands for end notes that get people worked up).

The only effective work around I was able to muster was to use tab delimited 
text, but that meant no table rules. I made paragraph formats with 
appropriately positioned tabs. In the case I refer to, few entries wrapped and 
those that did were able to be positioned at the end of the line.

What you have described sounds the best option. At least in this instance, if 
the numbering changes, you can control it. 

I would change things slightly:
1. By formatting the text you said would be white as red, until proofing stage. 
Create a paragraph format and call it TblFtntPara. I would set the text to red, 
then change it the size to be 1pt and white. 
2a. In the footnote text, insert a unique marker (sequential numbering or 
something). 
2b. Create a character format and call it something like TblSupScrpt: the 
format will be superscripted, with all else As is. 
2c. Create a cross reference format that displays the footnote number only, and 
uses the TblSupScrpt format (like this TablSupScrpt$paranumonly).
2c. Then for the superscripted number to appear in the table, insert a cross 
reference to the marker in the footnote. The number will appear superscripted, 
and will be the number of the footnote.

Since these are cross references, you will need to run the update to see any 
changes are effected.

Alan

 Good morning,
  
 I have a book where the powers that be want ALL footnotes to be part of the

 The only way that I’m aware of is a hack/kludge that almost makes things 
 worse: Within tables place superscripted text that mimics a footnote 
 reference, and then immediately above or below the table, place the real 
 footnote, with the reference tagged in white so it is invisible when printing.
  
 I hate it, and presents a royal fustercluck if any footnotes are added or 
 removed within the chapter.
  
 Is there a workable fix?

Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

2012-05-24 Thread Syed Zaeem Hosain (syed.hos...@aeris.net)

Hi, all.

I'm working in FM 10 in a Win 7 environment.

I have placed some tall, thin graphics in an anchored frame that is run into 
the paragraph and positioned Left on the page. The text flows down the right 
side of the graphic.

Everything works beautifully except I can't figure out how to keep the caption 
with the graphic. Sometimes the text is not as tall as the graphic, so I would 
have to use a series of returns to move the cursor down to beneath the anchored 
frame, and enter the caption there. This is do-able but clunky and prone to 
problems if the text is ever edited.

I therefore created a text frame inside the anchored frame and put the caption 
there, which works physically but breaks the hyperlinks to the cross-reference 
in the text "(See Figure X.") For the time being, I've deleted the x-refs, 
since they aren't really necessary in such an obvious page layout. (But one of 
my reviewers is absolutely going to say, "where's the 'See Figure X' Be 
copnsistent! Consistency above all else!!")

How can I get a caption with working hyperlinks positioned directly under the 
anchored frame?

Thanks.

Does the version of FrameMaker that he is using support Unicode? That may be 
the source of the problem.

I'm slightly baffled here, unless I've misunderstood you. If by hyperlinks you 
mean a cross-reference from the text to a figure caption within a text frame 
within an anchored frame (which will appear as a hyperlink in a PDF), then 
that's the way I've been doing figure captions for years. The type of anchored 
frame shouldn't make any difference.

If by 'it breaks the hyperlinks', you mean that the figure caption 
cross-references break when you *move* the captions into the text frames, then 
that should not happen: the existing cross-reference destination marker should 
move with the text.

Or perhaps you mean that the figure reference is itself in the text you moved 
into the text frame within the figure's anchored frame?

The figure caption should in a text frame which should have no flow tag. I am 
looking at one working here. However, if there is something about your setup 
I've not understood, maybe you could send a test file for me to look at?

Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

Thanks to everyone who has replied on the list or privately!

I discovered that I didn't have the problem I thought I had. I had another one.

If you are curious, read on. 


I was adding x-refs into the text methodically, going from figure to figure. 
When I went looking for Figure 2-8, it wasn't there in the Cross-ref'erence 
drop-down list.. The list skipped from Figure 2-7 to Figure 2-10. I assumed 
that it happened because I'd put the captions to Figures 2-8 and 2-9 into the 
anchored frame and Frame had not "seen" them.


I didn't scroll down further, because never in 20 years has FrameMaker listed 
the figure numbers out of order. 


But when I do scroll down in the listing in the Cross-Reference box, the list 
goes like this:


Figure 2-6
Figure 2-7 
Figure 2-10 
Figure 2-8 
Figure 2-9
Figure 2-9 
Figure 2-10 
Figure 2-8 
Figure 2-11
Figure 2-12


and on normally.


Now I am hunting through the file using Find -- Paragraph Tag "Caption" to see 
what it turns up. Maybe I've buried figure tags behind anchored frames or some 
such bizarre thing. This problem is definitely related to my use of Run-in 
anchored frames, which I've never used before . . . but I think I did something 
strange, not FrameMaker!

Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

Hi Alison,

To have the cross-reference source text out of order is not uncommon with
FrameMaker. It will get the figure captions in the main flow first, and then
pick up the ones inside of the anchored frames. This will sometimes happen
with your generated lists like TOCs.

Turkish Characters Don't Display

Here is some more information from my translator.

- FrameMaker 7.1
- Windows Vista Home Premium

- Turkish text is being transfered from TTX (Trados) format to MIF. The 
characters get lost in the transfer. We found a font called Arial TUR for FM. 
Once we have the text in MIF, we change the font to Arial TUR and it is working.

- Destination paragraph style font is Arial TUR. Check and see that you have 
Arial TUR in your list of fonts for FM.

Ed Lightle

Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

Nancy

Not nodded off at all.

Out of sequence figure numbers aren't that unusual in FrameMaker, but missing 
figure numbers in an xref list are definitely pathological. As to the former, 
I've never really researched what causes it, but it's certainly linked to two 
figures falling on the same page.

As to your screenshot, I'd be immediately alerted to the apparent presence of 
doubled-up figure numbers. As FrameMaker's numbering engine works per-flow, my 
initial though would be that you have two mixed flows. That would sure as hell 
confuse both you and FrameMaker.

I will now go and read all the latest posting to see what you really do have ;-)

Hi Ed,



What version of FrameMaker are you using? FrameMaker 8 and above supports
Unicode. If you are using FrameMaker 8 or above, you should use a translator
that at least matches your version.

Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

" Ken, thank you!

To understand your description fully, I have a couple of questions.

You wrote: "The graphic numbering itself is done using a text string we named 
"Section Graphic Counter" located inside the small text box below the graphic 
(but inside the anchored frame)."

By "text string" do you mean paragraph tag? If you mean something else, I don't 
follow what that could be. 


If "Section Graphic Counter" is a paragraph tag, did you use F:Fig. 
<$chapnum>- as the counter in this tag?

You wrote:

"Yet, we found that sometimes, for whatever reason, the building blocks on some 
counters were 

Fig. <$chapnum>- (note the missing "F:" preceding the word "Fig.")

Clicking on a correctly defined Section Graphic Counter, then choosing "Update 
All" took care of our numbering problems."

By "in some counters" do you mean that you had various instances of the 
paragraph tag Section Graphic Counter that had been manually changed so that 
the counter did not have the "F:"?

So when you clicked one of the correct Section Graphic Counter paragraph tags 
and Updated All to match that one, your counting problems went away?

Thanks.

newlinks and gotolinks in Acrobat

Hello Framers,

A client uncovered a problem that I was previously not aware of. If you
insert matching newlink and gotolink markers in a document, and you
Control+Alt+Click on the gotolink marker, FrameMaker will jump to the
newlink marker as you would expect. However, after you make the PDF, the
link no longer goes to the location of the named destination created by the
newlink marker, but it goes to the named destination of the paragraph
containing the marker. In most cases, you won't notice it, but if the
paragraph starts on a different page than the marker location, then it
becomes a problem.

Interestingly, a named destination for the newlink marker is created in the
PDF, but the link does not point to that destination; it points to the named
destination for the paragraph, which is at the start of the paragraph.

Frankly, I am dumbfounded by this behavior. I tested it in FrameMaker 8 and
10 and it works the same. It looks like a case of Adobe trying to "help",
but for this client, it makes these links unusable in many cases.

If you are having trouble visualizing what I am talking about, you can
download a sample PDF at

http://www.rickquatro.com/resources/LinkTest.pdf

or a zip file containing both the FrameMaker file and PDF:

Better Way to Assign Master Pages?

2012-05-24 Thread Karen Robbins

Hello Framers,

Is there in Frame 9 a quick (or at least efficient) way of assigning 
a master page to multiple body pages at once?

I am dumping text from one Frame doc into another that is essentially 
a galley proof--one text frame with changing running heads based half 
on heading tags and half on other content.

Applying a master page to a range of body pages (or all pages) in the 
Master Page Usage dialog would take care of only a portion of my 
document at best, since the running heads often change every page and 
often are not consecutive. I tried mapping a master page to a heading 
tag in the Master Page Maps reference page, but that doesn't seem to 
work: once I manually apply a master page, the reference page setting 
for "until changed" appears to function, but the master associated 
with the heading isn't being applied automatically in the first 
place. Maybe I don't understand the operation of the Master Page Maps 
table?

I am wishing for something like QuarkXPress' Page Layout palette, 
where one can click-and-drag a master page icon onto a page or group 
of page icons to apply.

Hope I've just forgotten something simple--very possible since I only 
do this project once a year. I don't look forward to applying master 
pages manually hundreds of times.

Thanks,
Karen

Best way to rename individual book files and book name in FrameMaker 9

Integrating table footnotes into chapter flow.

2012-05-24 Thread Harding, Dan

Good morning,

I have a book where the powers that be want ALL footnotes to be part of the 
same numbering sequence and appear at the bottom of pages... even footnotes 
whose references appear in tables. Since by default footnotes within  a table 
are placed immediately below the table and have their own lettering/numbering, 
How do I accomplish this?

The only way that I'm aware of is a hack/kludge that almost makes things worse: 
Within tables place superscripted text that mimics a footnote reference, and 
then immediately above or below the table, place the real footnote, with the 
reference tagged in white so it is invisible when printing.

I hate it, and presents a royal fustercluck if any footnotes are added or 
removed within the chapter.

Is there a workable fix?

Thanks in advance.

Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

e and Frame had not "seen" them.


I didn't scroll down further, because never in 20 years has FrameMaker listed 
the figure numbers out of order. 



But when I do scroll down in the listing in the Cross-Reference box, the list 
goes like this:


Figure 2-6
Figure 2-7 
Figure 2-10 
Figure 2-8 
Figure 2-9
Figure 2-9 
Figure 2-10 
Figure 2-8 
Figure 2-11
Figure 2-12


and on normally.


Now I am hunting through the file using Find -- Paragraph Tag "Caption" to see 
what it turns up. Maybe I've buried figure tags behind anchored frames or some 
such bizarre thing. This problem is definitely related to my use of Run-in 
anchored frames, which I've never used before . . . but I think I did something 
strange, not FrameMaker!

Section Graphic Counter (was: Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure)

Hi Nancy,

Yes, we created a paragraph tag with that name and defined it as described. 

But a previous member of the tech pubs department here haphazardly did what he 
wanted to do. He couldn't write, wouldn't follow directions, wouldn't 
spell-check, wouldn't proofread, but DID create or modify paragraph tags to his 
liking.

So, yes,  and when we built one book using another as a template, we sometimes 
found problems with its graphic image numbering thanks to this guy.

So yes, the paragraph tag should be defined as "F: Fig. <$chapnum>-"

This results in (for instance) "Fig. 2-3" (the third graphic in section 2 of 
the 
book).

One caveat: In order to make sure your first graphic of the current book 
section 
is numbered "1", you have either of two methods to use:

* Create a separate paragraph tag called "Section Graphic Counter 1" 
and define 
it as F: Fig.

Turkish Characters Don't Display

Hi Ed,
Frame 7.0 didn't support Unicode. As I recall, when we were faced with a 
similar problem, we had to perform some registry editing to get Frame to see 
Arial TUR. You'll have to search online for the coding because it's been long 
enough I've forgotten how we did it. Even there, because Frame allocates 
certain key codes to internal functions, some letters consistently mapped 
incorrectly and had to be edited manually.

?
- Destination paragraph style font is Arial TUR. Check and see that you have 
Arial TUR in your list of fonts for FM.

Thanks,

Hello.? My translation vendor is using FrameMaker to translate English 
documents to Turkish.? But he has the following problem:

I am transferring Turkish text to the FrameMaker file, and I am losing some 
Turkish characters.? For example, the ??? in the word ?de?ildir?.

Any idea why this is happening?

Better Way to Assign Master Pages?

The quick and efficient way is to use FM's default Right and Left master pages 
(for two-sided docs), which are automatically applied to right and left pages 
that you don't assign a custom master page to. It sounds like you're not using 
those at all and are trying to use custom master pages for every page. 

I can't imagine why that would be necessary. But then I don't really understand 
what you're saying about running heads. 

What I think of as running heads are normally implemented via the Running H/F 
system variables (of which there are a bunch). The definition of a Running H/F 
variable can specify a list of paragraph tags from which it pulls the content 
specified by its building blocks, displaying on any given page the content for 
the first instance of one of the specified paragraphs. For instance, Running 
H/F 1 might be defined as: 

<$paratext[Head1, Head2, Head3, NoteHead, SomeOtherPgfTag, YetAnotherPgfTag]>

If the first instance of any of those pgf tags on a page is Head3, Running H/F 
1 would display the text of that Head3 in the running head of that page. So you 
don't need a custom master page to change what the running head displays. 

Even if you need more than the default Right and Left pages, they should work 
for the majority of the pages, with a limited number of custom master pages for 
the "outlier" cases. 

I don't use master page mapping, but I understand it's a pretty solid feature. 
Are you remembering to apply master pages when you update the book? It's a 
check box in the Update Book dialog box.

HTH, and apologies if I've misunderstood the problem.

Best way to rename individual book files and book name in FrameMaker 9

> Will someone please help with this question?
> Thank you,
> John

1. Start by making a backup copy of everything in case you mess up, so that you 
can recover gracefully!

2. Exit FrameMaker (or certainly make darn sure that you are not editing the 
book or any of its files!)

3. In the OS (I assume Windows), change _just_ the book name to whatever you 
need it to be - whether you do this in a DOS window or from the File Explorer 
is up to you.

4. Open the newly renamed book in FrameMaker - you will see the included 
filenames still be the old name(s).

5. Individually change the file names of each file of the book, from _inside_ 
the book (i.e., within FrameMaker).

Of course, this could be painful if there are a large number of files inside 
the book ... in that case, I would probably prefer to mess with the MIF copies 
of the files and book with a text editor instead. This needs care, of course.
