Hi Peter, When you open a FrameMaker binary file with a text editor, it will show the FrameMaker version of this file in the very first line. In my case: MakerFile 10.0 How does your first line look like? Best regards Winfried From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com

This example demonstrates that Frame needs to use a standard format. I suggest EPUB using XHTML5 and CSS3. Adobe might be pleasantly surprised that they could successfully compete against Microsoft Word. This leads to the question of what are the capabilities of Frame 11 to import XML schemas

FYI -- one of the hallmarks of FrameMaker is the stability of its file format over the years. As with the others who have previously posted, I have opened very old versions of FrameMaker (e.g. 3.5) in FrameMaker 9 while still in the translation industry. Incidentally, if you take a current or

Thank you, Simon! That was exactly the problem! I turned off Microsoft Security Essentials [MSE] and that solved the problem. I first tried to disable the Adobe .exe files - that didn't help. I had to disable MSE. I did alert the folks I had talked to at Adobe support, so hopefully they can post

FrameMaker would be of zero use to me and many other people if they changed their source format, since that would break all the add-ons that make it valuable. FrameMaker already supports (more or less) a standard source format, DITA XML. On Sun, Mar 10, 2013 at 4:22 PM, Robert Leif

It's more efficient to apply the character format before inserting the hyperlink, since it stays highlighted. I'm sure it's possible to automate that with ExtendScript or FrameScript, or maybe with a free Windows keystroke macro recorder utility. On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 6:41 AM, wrote: > Over
