Re: [Framers] OT: Webinar: I am looking for a solution
I would have a look at EmSoftware's DocsFlow plugin for InDesign. It lets you import to Google docs and spreadsheet, creating a one-way or two-way link. Formatting is maintained in InDesign even if document is updated by author. http://emsoftware.com/products/docsflow/ The make a similar product for Word and Excel too.

The client has a series of medical professionals that contribute content for an annual publication. Currently, each contributor submits their content in a Word document, which is then cleaned up, "structured" and imported into InDesign for publication. I am looking for a system where the authors can enter their content in a browser so that I can receive and process structured content, bypassing Word and the need to manually structure the content. Rather than show individual vendors what I need, I am hosting a webinar to show my current process and solicit ideas and proposals for a new solution. If you think you may have a solution for me, please attend my webinar on Thursday, December 8, 2016, at 11:00 am Eastern Standard Time (US). It should only take 20-30 minutes to show you my process. Below is the meeting information. You can simply log in to attend, but I would appreciate a reply ahead of time. Thank you very much.

Re: [Framers] Replace URLs
Just an FYI for any newbies in the FrameMaker user community: The contributions of both Chris Despopoulos and Rick Quatro go far back in FM history. They've saved users untold hours of time and sanity. My 2-cent ovation.

Re: [Framers] Using FM to edit MIF code
1. Open FrameMaker document. 2. Save the document as MIF (File > Save As). 3. Close the FrameMaker document. 4. Choose File > Open and navigate to the .MIF file you saved in step 2. 5. Press and hold the shift key when you click the Open button. You should see the Reading Text File dialog box. 6. Click Read to open the file as text. After you do any edits in FrameMaker, make sure when you save the file you save it as plain text. Then you can reopen the document and allow FrameMaker to open it as a normal binary file. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Re: [Framers] OT: Webinar: I am looking for a solution
I'm skeptical about persuading non-technical Word users to write in DITA and having them do a good job of it. Oxygen hides the code a bit but it's still pretty geeky. Rick just says "XML" but hasn't specified which flavor. And is there a budget? On Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 1:03 AM, Yves Barbion wrote: > Hi Rick > > I like oXygen XML Web Author a lot.

Re: [Framers] Replace URLs
John, An alternative to scripting for changing marker text is Cudspan's MarkerWorker. On Chris Despopoulos's website, this plugin is listed under FM 9, but I still use it in FM 12 and have not seen any problems. You simply unload the marker text into a document, do a search and replace, then reload it back into the markers. I generally use it on a file, but it runs on a book, too.

Re: [Framers] OT: Webinar: I am looking for a solution
Hi Rick I like oXygen XML Web Author a lot. You can test it online here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_web_author.html I'm seeing the following configuration: - Technical writers use FrameMaker + DITA-FMx or the desktop version of oXygen XML Author - Content contributors (subject matter experts) use oXygen XML Web Author - The content can be managed in Git or a DITA-aware content management system like DITAToo, Bluestream XDocs, Componize etc. - To publish to PDF, you can use FrameMaker + DITA-FMx (see also http://leximation.com/dita-fmx/featurecomparison.php). The content contributors could also use Simply XML DITA Edition, but Simply XML does not support the complete DITA standard and all of DITA's reuse features. But then again, your customer may not have a need for full DITA support. I'd love to watch your Solution Search Webinar, but I'm not available this afternoon.
