Is there a video demonstrating Word vs Framemaker?

[Gary Bankston]

There is no comparison between Word and FrameMaker. Word if for writing
letters home to mom and dad, FrameMaker is for writing documents in the
business world. Word doesn't begin to have the depth or capacity that
FrameMaker does. Anything done in Word that pushes two or more pages
becomes inherently less stable, while FrameMaker can handle hundreds to
thousands of pages. Make a change on the first page or any page in between
in a FrameMaker document and the first thing you'll notice between Word and
FrameMaker is that the FrameMaker guy isn't even holding his  breath, while
the word guy begging to the highest that the document doesn't choke and
die. So, to summarise, Word is for writing letters home to mom and dad,
while FrameMaker is for writing documents in the real world.

Hyperlink from Frame to Folder in Network

[Gary Bankston]

I thought this would be a simple thing to do but...

I currently have a Frame created pdf document that I need to link over the
network to another Frame created pdf. I am using the following to create
the link, "openlink X:\filename.pdf" and it works every time from wherever
my first frame/pdf document is located to the second frame/pdf document. My
problem comes when I try and write to a folder beyond the root of any
directory. When I write "openlink X:\foldername\filename.pdf" the second
backslash changes to some other character when I select "edit
hypertext" and when the pdf file is generated, the link is not functional.

What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? Any help down this path would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Gary Bankston

Re: PDF back into Frame?

[Gary Bankston]

Why is it that Adobe supports more Microsoft products than their own
documentation tool Framemaker? For that matter Microsoft doesn't even have a
documentation program (Word isn't) for much more than writing letters home
to mom. You'd think there would be a direct pdf-Frame tool.

Re: OFF-TOPIC: PC BIOS Screen Capture Software

[Gary Bankston]

My huble apologies, I thought what you wanted was to see a copy of your
specific BIOS. I wasn't aware you wanted to go in and manipulate it. When
our engineers work on BIOS, they do not work with it on a live system. What
the engineer did yesterday was to capture/copy the complete BIOS of the
system they want to modify, go to another stand-alone computer and and
display a static copy they could work on/in, off-line.

One step forward, two steps back.

OFF-TOPIC: PC BIOS Screen Capture Software

[Gary Bankston]

My huble apologies, I thought what you wanted was to see a copy of your
specific BIOS. I wasn't aware you wanted to go in and manipulate it. When
our engineers work on BIOS, they do not work with it on a live system. What
the engineer did yesterday was to capture/copy the complete BIOS of the
system they want to modify, go to another stand-alone computer and and
display a static copy they could work on/in, off-line.

One step forward, two steps back.

Re: OFF-TOPIC: PC BIOS Screen Capture Software

[Gary Bankston]

One of our software engineers, just now, viewed the BIOS using the Command
Prompt and captured the image with Snag-it. Although he was clearly annoyed
by my bothering him, he muttered to the effect "we do it all the time"

I have no idea what all those lines of code mean, so I stay far away. I'm
content just being a user of software.

Re: Landscape 11 x 17

[Gary Bankston]

Rotate the 11x17 page to 11x17 portrait, save as jpg, png (your graphics
choice), and save it. Place a graphics frame on the page you want the 11x17
to go, and import the image (sized down of course). I've also seen an 11x17
graphic placed on a named Master page.

If you save the 11x17 to pdf, you can place it after the pdf is generated,
so if the drawing revs, it's easy to update.

Re: Troubleshooting cross references

[Gary Bankston]

Check your reference pages. I recently worked through a document where lines
of text graphics had been placed in the reference pages, then deleted, but
the paratags still intact. Every time I checked for unresolved references it
took me to a blank space on a page, and I finally wised up.

Re: Can the spelling checker be trusted?

[Gary Bankston]

I've opened a couple old Frame docs V7.2, V8, and V9 and just gone looking
for a specific phrase that I knew a word was misspelled. Found it in V7.2,
and V8, Flew right past it and found no misspelled words in V9. Same thing
with searching for a number sequence in Find/Change. I know it's there, I
can see it, but Frame can't seem to find it. If Spell Checker can't see it,
and Find/Change can't find it, I'm finding myself doing a lot of proofing.
To the positive side of all this, I've found a lot of sentences that clearly
needed more clarification and/or could be better written. Now a quick
proof-read turns into a lengthy re-write.

Multiple toc in a book file?

[Gary Bankston]

So when you do the front of the book TOC, do you also list the Chapter TOC
or start with the first heading in that specific chapter?
