You need a structure application to open XML files in FM. Do you still have the
FM 9 installation? What XML model are you using? Open the XML file in notepad
and send the top line (starts with "DOCTYPE").

Hi Scott,
Unfortunately, I have no experience with structured Frame and the previous
writer did not leave the app definition file. I inherited only the FM9
files which consists of a book file with a few .xml files. Is there no
other way to do this without it? I only have Frame11.
Thanks,
Yvette
No conversion. Just "install" the structured application you're using on FM9
into FM11. Then you should be able to open the XML files.
Should be able to copy the app files to FM11 in a similar location to where
they are in FM9. Then copy the structure app definition from FM9 to FM11.
Hi All,
Does anyone have any knowledge/tips/suggestions on how to convert a
structured book authored in Frame 9 to Frame 11? When I try to open the .xml
files (in Structured Frame 11) I get a ³Validation of XML failed.²
Thanks in advance for any help on this

Yes, FrameScript 6 includes support for FrameMaker 2015's new features.
FrameScript is still alive and well.

I guess a more focused question would be: Does FrameScript 6 (or whatever it is
up to now) allow scripting of the new features in FM 2015?

Yes, indeed!
BookVars is my most used tool in FrameMaker ...

Hi Monique -
What a very interesting and helpful post.
Do you plan to offer your presentation as a webex? I'd be very interesting in
seeing it.
I was at VMware too, as a consultant during the changeover to structure. Did
our paths cross?

Yep, I participated in the "beta testing" for the most recent version of
BookVars, which works with FrameMaker 2015, and manages markers as well
(although I haven't tried that part yet).
And yes, BookVars is why I'm not minding a proliferation of variables in my
docs :-).

Hi, Rick,
I found some old information on the CleanImport plugin. Apparently,
there was no documentation with the zip file of the plugin, but I had
made a PDF of an earlier version of the website page which had minimal
instructions that might be of use to you. I'll email it to you

Good points Monique. I'm in a similar situation, being a lone writer, and not
having the time or resources to implement a structured workflow.
I deal with two main streams of documentation. For my operations guides and
online help I use FrameMaker and WebWorks ePublisher. There's little reuse
You might also want to look at using the popular BookVars plugin. It
lets you easily define a set of variables (one for each product), then
pop them into the book with a couple of clicks. It's easy and a real
timesaver.

I don't think you need structured FM for this. You can share the
appendix chapter in all the relevant books and mark the differences
between the products with conditional text. As far as variables, you can
either have multiple variables for the different products (product1,
product2, product3)
Hi Urszula,

You may want to take a look at the free FrameScript "AlignSideHeads"
