Re: best web help add-on for FrameMaker 10?
Buying a WWP license is expensive, especially on top of the cost of upgrading to TechCommSuite 4. But I've lost four entire days of income trying to cooperate with Adobe Tech Support, not getting anywhere, and ultimately being abandoned without so much as a sorry we can't help you we've got to stop now. IMHO, even though WebWorks ePublisher seems expensive, the time you save on actually being productive is so worth it. WW support is excellent, too.

I'd go with MIF2GO (first choice) or
Flare... Flare links to FM files nicely for single sourcing. I think it's
kind of clunky as a primary authoring tool, but as a downstream Help
generator, not many complaints.

I'm about ready to switch to WWP from RoboHelp, too. I uprgraded to
TechCommSuite 4 a couple weeks ago mainly to take advantage of RH's new
multi-screen mobile output. I never made it past first base in the new RH.
I spent a total of 6 hours screensharing with Adobe Tech Support to
troubleshoot why a linked book from Framemaker11 causes RH10 to crash when
generating the WebHelp output, they simply stopped communicating with me.
They cannot replicate the crash on their end using my files. I can
replicate it on two stand-alone computers in my office, one with a fresh,
default install of TechCommSuite4. I asked them to try my files on a clean
install on a stand-alone workstation and haven't heard anything more for a
week.
While waiting for Adobe to not respond, I spent another two days
rebuilding, letter by letter, the Frame file that was causing the crash and
discovered that a space between an autonumbered chapter paragraph tag
(i.e., Chapter{space}1) was the culprit. If I changed the space to a
hardspace, the RH project generated without a hitch. There are more
details, but they aren't important. What is important is that even though
I've emailed Adobe tech support, left voice mails with the Level 2 support
person, and logged the information in Adobe's case file for my issue, I've
heard nothing more from them.
Last November, I asked the sales rep at WWP to demo their Reverb product
using some sample files of this same project I'm working on, and the output
was much nicer for the mobile device formats. RoboHelp builds separate
output for each mobile device, e.g., one each for Android Galaxy, Android
Phone, iPad, iPhone, and Kindle. In contrast, WWP uses HTML5 and css to
create responsive design in a single output that scales well regardless of
the device. I'm not sure how they do it, but it looks good and I'm hoping
that it will be easier to use than RH.

upgrading to TechCommSuite 4. But I've lost four entire days of income

ultimately being abandoned without so much as a sorry we can't help you
we've got to stop now.
Thanks for letting me whine. If anyone has actually used both WWP and RH
for mobile (multiscreen) output, I'd be interested in knowing how the two
programs stack up against each other in real life. (That actually was the
real point of my email.)

Re: best web help add-on for FrameMaker 10?
Matt, yes I am using RH's Multiscreen output. I'm annoyed at the differences in the out-of-box options for the various device outputs. There doesn't appear to be a unified set that retains the same color scheme or other skin characteristics. But my biggest whine is that RH10 treats the device outputs as separate entities with a separate folder for each output device. There is a separate index.htm file for each output device. And within each device folder, the entire set of templates for each device is repeated. For example, here is a simplified folder structure to illustrate: !ISSL! --Multiscreen_HTML5 |android_galaxy_tab --|index.html plus my project files --|template -|Android_Phone_Layout |all PNG files for the layout |-Desktop_Knowledge |all PNG files for the layout -|iPad_Layout |all PNG files for the layout -|iPhone_Layout |all PNG files for the layout -|Kindle_Fire_Layout |all PNG files for the layout -|resources -|scripts --|whxdata |android_phone --|index.html plus my project files and the other folders as listed above |desktop --|index.html plus my project files and the other folders as listed above |ipad ---|index.html plus my project files and the other folders as listed above ---|iphone --|index.html plus my project files and the other folders as listed above |kindle_fire I don't understand why the redundancy is necessary. So what I'd like to know is whether or not WWP's output contains this redundancy or whether they build all of this into one separate HTML5 and one separate css. It seems to me that as the device market expands and new devices are added, RH will be limited by what it is currently configured for. What I see in WWP suggests that their coding will be truly responsive and flexible regardless of the device that displays the output. If I'm wrong here about either product, let me know. That's what I'm trying to determine. Carol At 09:38 AM 2/11/2013, you wrote: @Carol, are you using RH's HTML5 SSL, called Multiscreen?

Without going into too much detail (probably already too late for that statement?) I believe what you are seeing is actually an *opportunity* to customize, not a requirement. Media Query (CSS3 option) allows for formatting based on the device being used to display. You can define as many or as few targets as you like, and the definitions can be within ranges. That means you can choose to: define one "look" for everything, define mobile, tablet, laptop and large monitor targets define more explicitly for specific devices Regardless of the tool, the CSS3 simply needs to know the things that are important to you, and then apply the formatting based on the user's device of choice. RoboHelp provides device definitions for things available today, and allows you to define new things as they become available, or customize the things that already exist. -Matt Matt Sullivan technical communication | online training | eLearning twitter: @mattrsullivan phone: 714 960-6840 On Feb 11, 2013, at 9:37 AM, "Carol J.

Resizing paste of Excel 2010
Frame 8 Acrobat 10 Excel 10 Hi Framers, I have a dataset (book titles) in Excel 2010 on which I'm reporting with pivot tables. One report contains the book titles with comments which looks pretty lousy, so I copied the table and pasted (as RTF) into Frame. In spite of telling Frame that I wanted to change the column width from 21" to 9", I cannot get the table to refresh. Ideas? TIA, Theresa
Importing XML and having trouble with the Graphics
Many thanks to Heiko Haida for sending me the following link: http://www.asadesigner.com/97-framemaker-sgml/6139e2880bcd9c90.htm You were absolutely correct that my read write rules were the problem. I was using both entityref and fileref which are mutually exclusive. I was also defining the graphic filename as an fm attribute when it has to be an fm property. The developer's reference and guides didn't say anything that I saw about this. I still have more to do for this project and will not hesitate to ask the many, very smart people on this list!

Vertical Alignment Bottom
I'm hoping this email hits the list. My last few email have not. Does anyone know how to force texts to vertically align with the bottom of the text frame?

best web help add-on for FrameMaker 10?
I did not find Flare's FrameMaker import clean enough to go directly to an output format. http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=10=13473 On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 6:38 AM, Art Campbell wrote: > I'd go with MIF2GO (first choice) or > > Flare...

Vertical Alignment Bottom
Hi Jess, FrameMaker doesn't have this feature. You can change vertical alignment in table cells but not text frames.
