RE: User's manual vs. User manual
“User” is a noun. Nouns do not modify nouns; adjectives—and articles, if you have a more traditional view of the Parts of Speech—modify nouns. Ergo … è User’s Manual, User’s Guide, user’s mannerisms, user’s fork, user’s eraser, user’s banana, etc. Of course, one could choose “Usage Manual”, or just plain, old, run-o’-the-mill “Manual”. But then there could be—and often used to be—User’s Guide/Manual, Reference Manual, and more. One solution to this mind-numbing conundrum might look like this: Getting Started Guide User’s Manual Reference Manual Shortcuts (often a card or the like) Developer’s Guide (wouldn’t say “Developer Guide” … right?) SDK Reference [Guide/Manual] Scripting Reference [Guide/Manual] I like to think in terms of systems. :) Bottom line: At every opportunity, preserve our language. For these days, if we don’t, not many others will. IMO, that was at least three cents worth, what with inflation and all … :) Best regards, Elchanan _ From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of hessiansx4 Sent: Friday, March 13, 2015 3:11 PM To: Framers Subject: User's manual vs. User manual Any thoughts on which is preferable for hardware products? ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

If you use the possessive version, is it going to be User's Manual or Users' Manual ? Too messy.

SVG import FrameMaker 11
Hi, one of my clients reports an issue with SVG files in FM11. There’s no preview for imported SVG’s and re-importing gives a filter error. SVG’s are created in Illustrator (CS6). Anyone els seen this, what can be the cause? (note: the SVG’s displayed fine in previous FM version) Vriendelijke groet / Kind regards, Wim Hooghwinkel ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

FM12, too. At least, the Object Properties shows both PDF and SVG.

Miles33 and Framemaker
I've been asked to research solutions for a client's sister company that currently uses Miles33 to produce a 600-page catalog. The company is unhappy with the costs associated with upkeep of this catalog and wants to explore other options. From what I can see on the Miles33 Web site, it is an XML-based publishing system. I need to locate resources who are familiar with Miles33 and who might be interested in bidding a conversion project from Miles33 to Framemaker. Please respond off-list. ** Carol J.
