Re: Clarification on Handling Large Book Files

[Brian Lamborn]

Joseph, 

The problem may be your network, not a Frame issue at all. I have noticed at my 
location that if I am working with files on a network drive that the 
performance is way slower. For this reason, I work on a book on my local drive. 
At the end of the day I copy the folder with the book to the network directory 
as a backup. I always clear out (delete) the previous day's backup before 
copying to the network directory. I haven't had any performance issues doing it 
this way. 

The side benefit of doing this is when the network goes down (which it only 
does when it is very inconvenient for you), you still have your files and can 
continue working. 


Thanks, 

Brian

Subject: Clarification on Handling Large Book Files 

Apparently, my imprecise language for describing my problem with 650-page is 
causing some confusion. Here's a clarification. 

I am talking about one Frame book that contains multiple frame files. 

This book contains 650-pages, which I convert into one PDF. 

This Frame book is on a network. 

There are no OLEs, only graphics. These graphics are imported by reference. 

Here are my system specs: 
Windows XP Professional 
Intel Core Duo CPU 
2 gigs of RAM

Screen Capture

[Brian Lamborn]

All, 

Not really a FrameMaker question, but... 

I am creating some manuals and I need to include some screen shots of our 
configuration software. Any recommendations on which screen capture software 
works best? 

Thanks,

List of Figures/Tables Question

[Brian Lamborn]

All, 

I am using FM8.0p273 on a XP SP3 machine. 

When I insert a table or figure into my document, I have the formatting set up 
to number the figures and tables. The formatting is set up as follows: 

F: Figure n+: 

T:Table n+: 


The numbering works flawlessly. However, when I generate a list of figures or a 
list of tables, I would like FrameMaker to pull the numbering with the title, 
not just the title as it does now. 

In the past when I was FORCED (by client requirements) to develop manuals using 
Word, I could do this. Surely Frame has a way of making this happen. Any 
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Brian Lamborn

Re: Screen Capture / Framer's List Issue - Slightly OT

[Brian Lamborn]

All,

Sorry about this post hitting hitting the list today. I actually sent it last 
Thursday, a little while before Lea Rush's post on the same subject hit the 
list. I was one of those that Richard Combs mentioned, whose posts weren't 
reaching the list. That seems to be fixed now.

Anyhow, I have the info I needed and I am currently trying the SnagIt demo and 
so far it is working well.


Thanks,

Finding Fonts

[Brian Lamborn]

All,

I have been using InDesign for several years and have recently started using 
FrameMaker (FM8 on XP Pro) again (use dictated in each case by client 
requirements) after several years away from it.  InDesign has a feature where 
you can search for the use of a specific font. Does FrameMaker have a similar 
function? I have a document that says I am using unavailable fonts when I 
open it. I also cannot run the Update Book function because of this same error.

I have gone through the document page-by-page and do not see any fonts that 
appear out of the ordinary. I have all of my Paragraph definitions are set to 
use Arial. I have manually selected all of the text and attempted to force 
everything to Arial. I then save the file and close. When I re-open, I get the 
same error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brian
