FM, How to Delete Unused Conditional Text Names from a Book

As far as I know, the only way to do it is to save the book file as a MIF, open the MIF in a text editor, delete the condition, and then resave it as a BOOK file. It's not as hard as it sounds. Here is an example of the lines you would need to delete for the Comment condition: Condition CTag

RE: How to Delete Conditional Text Markers from a Book

Hi, These markers appear only, if you hide conditional text. The marker is a way for FrameMaker to remember where the hidden conditional text must be placed. If you delete the marker, the conditional text cannot be shown again. I admit I do not know, if the text is still there in the file or

Shmuel, Thanks so much! Saved book as a MIF as you recommended, deleted the condition markers and then saved back as a book. Took about 4 minutes! Thanks so much! Ed Lightle -Original Message- From: Shmuel Wolfson [mailto:shmue...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 3:45 AM

RE: FM, How to Delete Unused Conditional Text Names from a Book

Note that if any of the unused conditions are still defined in any of the chapter files, the names will reappear in the book file the next time you do an Update Book operation. Also note that a book file cannot contain conditional text *markers* as you originally asked about. Conditional text

Re: Save as HTML in FrameMaker 11

The FrameMaker Save As HTML feature is not very good and it is hardly supported. They expect you to use RoboHelp or some other tool. Mif2Go is by far your best choice, IMO. One problem is that your FM headings, ordered lists, etc do not map automagically to HTML tags, so you have to make that work

Re: Save as HTML in FrameMaker 11

FrameMaker's Save As HTML seems to me more like a proof of concept than a usable feature. Get MIF2Go or WebWorks ePublisher. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

Re: Ghost Graphics Still Haunt My Document

It sounds like you have one or two anchored frames with the missing images assigned to them. Maybe they are behind other images in the same frame, or maybe once upon a time you moved the images within the frames, and later resized the frames so the images are tied to the frames but are no longer

Save the files as MIF, and then search and destroy the references. :-) Then reopen and save as FM. On October 21, 2013 at 1:28 PM Karen Robbins karendes...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Framers, My document previously contained two graphics, which have long since been deleted (related text no

Hi, We noticed that installing FM11 overwrites user dictionaries that were created in FM9. I'd expect that a new installation of FM would keep existing dictionaries. Anyone else experienced this? Vriendelijke groet / Kind regards, Wim

RE: Dictionaries

Every FrameMaker installer I have used (from 5.5.6 through 9 so far) has always installed all the files in a separate, version-specific folder within the Program Files folder. I have never had a problem having two or even three different versions installed simultaneously using the default

Re: Dictionaries

FrameMaker changed dictionary locations as of version 9. It now saves them at the common location of C:\Users\user\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\FMUserDictionary\all\added.txt. I'm using FM 10, so assume FM 11 is the same. There is no version structure showing on my computer.

RoboHelp is usable, but I rank it last of the three FrameMaker add-ons, after WebWorks ePublisher and MIF2Go. On Sun, Oct 20, 2013 at 5:55 PM, John Sgammato wrote: > * RoboHelp is a good solution, if you have it.
