Incorporating external documents containing tables, into a book
Hi, guys...long time. Anyway...I have a book that when printed, comes out at over 900 pages and is composed of about 300 files. I have 25 8-page documents that I created in Word that I need to include in the book. I can supply them in either Word or PDF. However, the issue is that each Word document is a single table with tables inside of the tables and they don't come into the FM well because FM doesn't break rows between pages..and since each 8 page document is one table (PLEASE don't ask...its a battle I've been fighting since October), the eight pages just run down off the bottom of the first imported page. Any ideas? I also have the issue of working in a locked down environment, so installing other software is not an option. BTW...I'm on FM11. John Posada - ** This E-mail is confidential.

Re: Incorporating external documents containing tables, into a book
yes, I could bring in each page of the PDF separately...but we're talking about 200 pages.

Need to insert hundreds of hyperlinks
Hi, guys... Over the next few days, I'll be needing to insert hundreds of hyperlinks. Right now, it is a three step process. Copy and paste the hyperlink. Highlight it, then select Special Hypertext Command Go To URL, paste hyperlink all over again. Highlight hyperlink again and apply defined Character format to make it underlined and blue. I know there has to be a better way. Can someone help me out? BTW..I'm in FM11, the deliverable is PDF, and I cannot install other software. Thanks, John Posada - ** This E-mail is confidential.

What is the recommended way of having a TOC appear in multiple places of a book?

Need to get my FM11 styles under control
Hi, guys...As I created my template from scratch, I have a number of P styles that I've used, then stopped using. I therefore have a bunch of styles that I need to clean out...from about 500 files. I maintain a control document with only the valid styles and when I need to change or modify a style, I do it in this document to test it's impact, then import to all other docs in book. What this won't do is remove styles from all the files that aren't in the control document. How do you go about doing this? John Posada - ** This E-mail is confidential.

Re: Putting variables in cross references
Thanks, Robert...Here's the problem with using $volnum I'm already using it. :-) As is many documentation projects, the total scope of the documentation set was unknown and its getting bigger and bigger. As it got bigger, I want from Chapters, to Sections having multiple Chapters. I then went to Volumes having multiple Sections. Now, I have Books having multiple Volumes. I know what I'm going to have to do...stop moving up and move some down; move Sections down to Subsection, Volume down to Section, and Book to down to Volume. Unfortunately, for the next 60 days, that will be like changing a flat tire while going 30 down the road. | | From: | | -| |Robert Lauriston rob...@lauriston.com | -| | | To:| | -| |John X Posada/HBUS/HSBC@HSBC02, framers@lists.frameusers.com | -| | | Date: | | -| |03/26/2013 03:03 PM | -| | | Subject: | | -| |Re: Putting variables in cross references | -| | | Sent by: | | -| |robert.lauris...@gmail.com | -| You can't include variables in cross-reference definitions.

Re: FM11 - Delay with F8 and F9 applying formats
Not really...I press F9 and the menu pops up almost immediately From: Martinek, Carla cmarti...@zebra.com To: framers@lists.frameusers.com framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: 04/01/2013 11:00 AM Subject:FM11 - Delay with F8 and F9 applying formats Sent by:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com Has anyone else noticed a delay when using F8/F9 for apply formats in FM11? We set up the shortcuts for styles years ago so we only had to 1-3 keys for applying them. It seems to me in FM11 with the format list popping up, there's a 1/2 second or longer delay when trying to apply styles. For example, we use the key combo F8b4ENTER to apply one of our bullet styles. BUT.. in FM11, I've been ending up with our 1_Heading1 style (since its first in line of style names) because the system is playing catch up. It's registering F8, but then has to display the list, so b4 is missed and it just registers the ENTER, applying the first style in the list. -Carla - ** This E-mail is confidential.

Replicate groups of files
Hi, guys... I have a book with maybe 700 files. Our product is composed of multiple rules, or scenarios. Each scenario has five documents. Every time we add another scenario, maybe 20-30 per month, I replicate each of the five documents and add them to the book individually. What I would like to do is replicate a template set of the five files for each scenario in one action, then modify the files for the specific scenario. Any ideas on how I could approach this?

Escape key sequence
Hi, guys... I currently maintain a book with about one thousand files in the book. Sometimes, and it's my error, I'll launch a process such as Search and Replace (SR) and forget to change the default Book to Document.

Is there a way of having a Group appear in more than one place in a book
Hi, guys...OK, this may be hard to follow: I have an FM11 Book that greatly relies on Groups. There are two main groups. Within one of the groups I have 4 sub-group. One of the sub-groups has maybe 30+ files and additional groups. I want that sub-group to now also appear in another group If it was only one file, I would (and do) create a file shell and utilize Import File to share the content. I'm not going to do this for 30+ files. In effect, I want to do with the files in a group the same way I do content in a file. Any suggestions?. John X Posada - ** This E-mail is confidential.

I've been looking at Debenu's PDF Aerialist (http://www.debenu.com/products/desktop/debenu-pdf-aerialist/features/audit-bookmarks-and-links/) and it seems to be the kind of software I'm looking for. Questions: Anyone ever use it? Anyone like anything better? Wouldn't it make sense for Acrobat to include that functionality? Does it? Many the very latest version?

Re: Link checkers
COTS is Commercial Off The Shelf The links are to external URLs, mostly to Sharepoint Files using an absolute http:// link.

What are the steps to accessing a file
Hi, guys...I'm having discussion with my service support people over what I deem to be poor network access speed of FM files. I'm trying to define what FM does when it accesses a series of files from the perspective of disk and network read/writes, for something such as search and replace. It would be in the form similar to the following, for unstructured: Access file on disk Download to application. Apply file lock and write locked file to disk Write duplicate of file on disk as backup Perform examination in file and make changes necessary Write file to disk Delete lock file. I'm sure I don't have this exactly right...anyone know better?

Simply put, for each set of files that make up a given chapter you define either the $volnum or $chapnum system variable to be Text format (at the very bottom of the format list), with the value set to a string that matches the title of the chapter. Then in the master pages, you use either the $volnum or $chapnum, as appropriate, in place of the Running H/F 1 system variable in the header or footer layout. -Fred Ridder Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2014 17:21:07 -0500 Subject: Re: Persist a variable to the next file From: ljsims...@gmail.com To: john.x.pos...@us.hsbc.com CC: framers@lists.frameusers.com OK, that was about what I thought. The short answer is, you can't do it with a RunningH/F, as it only picks up the information in the CURRENT file. If you want to bring the Chapter title over from a previous file, you'll have to edit the master page to use a cross-reference back to the file
RE: Persist a variable to the next file
OK...I have some time...let me go into greater detail. If there are holes in my explanation, attribute it to confidentiality. I have 5 main Lines of Business (LOBs) documented and arranged in Books; will call them Book 2, Book 3, Book 4, Book 5, and Book 6. I also have a Book 1, which contains methodology and procedure chapters that are common to all LOBs. Within each Book 2 through 6, there are Products (Style: ChapterHeading)...between 8 to 30 products; depending on the LOB Within each Product, there are 5 specific Sections (Style: Heading1); standard sections by title but different content each time Follow so far? When I do a compiled book for LOB 1, from the Framemaker Book panel, I include Book 1 and Book 2, excluding Book 3 through 6 When I do a compiled book for LOB 2, from the Framemaker Book panel, I include Book 1 and Book 3, excluding Book 2 and Book 4 through 6 etc. Now...sometimes I need to output a Mini-Book. A specific LOB, with only specific Products, with only specific Sections, usually on the request of a regulatory request. Because of the way I have the files set up, I simply Include only what I need and Generate My total document is almost 7,000 pages. using this system, I can generate a specific book with from 10 to 1500 pages in less than a half hour and know exactly what is in the book, not more and not less..

To simplify the problem: previously we had the Product A user manual and the Product B user manual – maintained and distributed separately. These manuals are each at about 15 chapters and 800+ pages each, with little or no overlapping content. Now, my company has merged the two products into an optional third product, so that we have three possible product permutations (and manuals): Product A, Product B and now the new Product C (which consists of all of the components/chapters from both A+B). So my question is: what is the best way to merge the two document sets so that I can publish Manual A, Manual B or Manual C (A+B), depending on the customer. Should I conditionalize all the chapters under one book – so that I would only display and publish the appropriate chapters based on the customer — e.g. publish chapters set to Condition A, Condition B, or both conditions for Product C

Re: Framemaker 11 crashes when comparing books
Figured it out. It chokes on files that have text inserts that are shared between multiple files. I noticed that a particular file name showed on the bottom left of the book screen when the crash message was displayed. I use a specific naming convention for those types of files. Once I deleted those files...there were 8 files that I used that construction method, the compare went to conclusion.

RE: Accidental Change All (am I alone?)
I use a Windows Robocopy batch file to backup my three FM working directories at the end of each day and I don't have to wait around for it to complete...I launch and lock down my workstation. This way, when I start in the morning, I don't have to pull down a working set as they've already been archived the previous night.. As it takes about 20 minutes (up to 30 GB) to do the upload (depending on the number of files that changed since previous backup), which I don't have to wait through in the morning.

Sent by:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com I have had this happen on a few relatively rare occasions … and have not looked into how to prevent it. But, it is one of the reasons I copy the files + book into an archive folder below the working folder before an editing session for any given document. So, yeah, I could mess up what I worked on “that day” (usually not many hours, since I am not always editing stuff), but not from before that. Then my backup solution (I use and love ShadowProtect from www.storagecraft.com) protects me further with older copies if I really munged things badly enough!

Track Changes
Hi, guys...I have a book of about 2,500 pages composed of maybe 300 files. I want to track changes that I am making in a particular section composed of a single file of maybe 22 pages. The problem is, when I turn track changes on, it turns it on for every file in the book, which takes a long time and when I switch to preview to what it looks like with changes implemented, it also takes a long time...like maybe 20 minutes each time. How do I limit the implementation of track changes to only the file I am working on?

Re: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?
Thanks, John, but this is a one-shot deal. First, I'd never get a scripting product in here. The applications have to have specific functions they can test before installing.

I'd look into FrameScript. There are many useful free scripts available, and you can write your own or contract someone to write them for you. I highly recommend Rick Quatro, whose wizardry has dramatically expanded what I can do with unstructured FrameMaker 12. Two examples of easy, effective cleanup: * ArchiveFM.fso does pretty much what the late Bruce Foster's Archive plugin did - it takes all the files, images, and text insets in a book, even those referenced from distant folders, and puts them in a ZIP archive. In seconds you can blow away all those extra images that aren't used in a book. * TidyImport.fso enable you to clean up a doc with too many extra para and character tags by doing a CleanImport from a known good clean template or chapter.

RE: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?
Hi, David. I watched their video. They seem to stress linguistics and usability, and measuring that stuff. While those are secondary factors on my end, my priority is style, format, content control consistency, and authoring speed. It's hard to explain, but my stuff isn't to convince...my stuff is to show AML methodology and compliance for use during AML model review. I have one main output; PDF, with secondary output Word. Multiple delivery isn't a requirement here. Thanks anyway.

Sent by:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com I would give serious thought to Acrolinx, if you're facing consistency issue as your content scales up and if you're going to bring in multiple writers. It can also help other casual content authors (e.g., developer's and tester's design and use case docs; marcomm) or give you a fast-editing path to clean up such source prior to importation/reuse in FrameMaker. It's NOT cheap, and it take a significant setup and routine maintenance as your product lines evolve... but it's a joy to see working well! It basically can eliminate any 'copyediting' roles throughout your organization.

I wrote in Agile several years ago while at EMC. I liked it, most of the other writers hated it. Yes, sometimes I had to rewrite in a later iteration, but that's pretty much normal in any development environment.

Without meaning to be critical, Denis, your question isn't really answerable as it stands. What sort of accessory, and for what? Is there anything on the thing for which the accessory is an accessory for? Do you need to match that? Looking at your company's website, it seems that you are involved in ordnance detection and disposal. That's a pretty specialized and technical field and would, I imagine, involve many legal requirements for hazmat warnings and so forth. Doesn't your company have an already-defined set of documentation guidelines, look-and-feel and/or templates? If you can provide more details, maybe someone on this list can give you some leads. Aside from that, unstructured FrameMaker template construction isn't hard, but if you want to start with something that will stand the test of time you might consider involving a document designer.

Re: Sourcesafe
I do similar, but once at end of day just before leaving for the night. I have a Robocopy batch file that mirrors my working directory on C: to my network drive that is backed up by IT every night. I have a shortcut on my desktop that I click, then lock the machine and go home. It looks similar to the following: -- echo *** c:\temp\robocopy.log robocopy c:\[source directory] \ h:[destination directory] /MIR /a-:R /log+:c:\temp\robocopy.log /nfl /ndl -- This copies only the later version of the changed files and deletes the removed files. This way I always have a mirror of my working directory and a log of what was done. This has saved my butt a number of times because since I know I have a mirrored directory, I can try things on my working directory of files knowing that if I don't get the expected results, I can always delete from my C drive and download my backup to try again. The time it takes varies with how many files I've changed...it could go from 10 files to over 4,000 files, depending on what I've done since the last backup.

Re: Is there a way to get around the issue of a book not allowing the same file more than once?
Hi, Nadine... It's not whether I want to look at another tool or not;...it's that being I'm in a Bank AML Compliance environment, I work in a locked down environment and it takes an act of god to install software off the approved list. It was a 6 month effort just to add a PDF link checker. John: I'm not sure if I mentioned this before (my apologies if I did). I'm sure you're not looking for another tool, but it seems to me that a lot of things you're trying to achieve can be done with WebWorks ePublisher PDF XSL FO output. If you want to discuss offline, please let me know. Perhaps I could set up a demo for you to test my theory. Rook coffee is accepted as demo payment. ;-) Nadine John X Posada AML Syst Ops Supt Data Analyst | US FCC RC Systems Control Analytics | HSBC North America Holdings Inc 330 Madison Ave., NY NY ___ Phone Int: 212-525-5483 Ext: Personal Cellphone - 732-259-2874 Fax Conference Bridge - 877-304-0052, Code 74809254 Email john.x.pos...@us.hsbc.com ___ Protect our environment - please only print this if you have to! - ** This E-mail is confidential.

I do it the way Robert defines. I have two template documents, with all the same tags by name, but the tags are defined differently. Depending on how I want the finished book to look, I import all the formats from the applicable template document into the entire book.

Below is from the heading of the script. The cost is $80 and it requires FrameScript. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much. Rick This script changes cross-references, paragraphs, tables, user variables, characters, etc. from one format to another. You can optionally delete the old format from the document's catalog. The script requires a batch file containing four columns. Column 1 lists the type of format to find: X for cross-reference P for paragraph T for table V for variable C for character format CO for condition format MP for master page M for marker type CL for color RF for ruling format Column 2 lists the format to find, column 3 lists the format to change to, and column 4 contains a Y if you want to delete the old format from the document's catalog. If the format in column 3 does not exist in the document, the find format will be renamed to the change format. The enclosed FindChangeFormatBatch.fm can be used as a batch file. To simply delete a format from the catalog, put its format type in column one, its name in column 2, and a Y in column 4. Leave column 3 blank. Format names are case-sensitive. The script can be run on a single document, book, or folder (and subfolders). The results of the script are recorded in a log which is saved in the same folder as the book, document, or folder. It will have the same name as the book or document, but with a .log extension. If you run it on a folder, the log will be in that folder and be called FindChangeFormatsBatch.log.

Sent by:"Framers" Hello, Framers, (Using FrameMaker 2015, but I don’t think that matters.) I have a 2-word product name that I don’t want to break across lines. I know that I could always use a non-breaking space between the words to prevent line breaks. But that’s hard to remember to do all the time. And the search function treats the spaces as a diff, so if I’ve got inconsistent usage (some regular spaces, some non-breaking spaces), a single search won’t find everything. Another idea is to use a variable, with the space entered as a non-breaking space. But sure as the sky is blue on this gorgeous day in San Francisco, at some point I’ll forget and just directly type the product name without a space, and later edits will push it to the end of the line into a line break situation. The Format > Document > Text Options lets you specify “Allow Line Breaks After” chars, but doesn’t have a “Don’t Allow Line Breaks” option, which is what I really want here. Any suggestions for other approaches or utilities I can try? -Monique ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com ** This message originated from the Internet.

Given that some companies have requirements for printed documentation, what difference does it make if chapters start on the right or left-hand page? If they are likely to print a single chapter, then I can see wanting to have it start on the recto page, but I don't think that's a concern for our users. I did finally go back to the clean template and reimport it into my working document. The template is set up correctly, and the updated working document now paginates correctly. Thanks, all!

Re: [Framers] Linking to a specific page in a PDF file
I beat the process to hell and it seems to be stable. I use the "Go To URL" command and use absolute URLs to the PDF, then append #page=[page number] I've never used "Jump to Named Destination". How do I implement that to point to a destination page in a PDF that I cannot make changes to?

I've currently only authored in unstructured Frame under a book paradigm, and am finding it impossible to track development. Basically, we have two writers to support ~30 developers. The SW group has moved to an agile scrum process and create software features in modular form. Then they are checked into the SW pool and tested by another team who then publishes the FW releases to the Web team. The testing takes about 1 to 2 weeks and some features may not get released. Also, we do not really know when the SW is released until it goes live (much of the process is automated and decisions happen overnight). Dev cycles are three weeks and the software is usually not available until it is checked in for testing since there are many dependencies. I'd like to find a way to have content more modular and easy to snap-in/out like the software folks can switch on/off software features. I've thought of trying this with conditional text, but I think the complexity and granularity of what needs to be controlled is too high. I'd also like for the writing resources to be more agile so they can work on any document piece as needed. Right now, we move around and track "book" packages and publish PDF books with incrementing revisions. Any suggestions on how to proceed or where to look for some ideas?
