Re: Conditional text - looks like there are some big differences between 9 and 12
Hi David, This page should help you understand states of conditional tags in FM 12: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WSF778A159-48A7-4f26-B04E-79509DDB38E8.html Regards, Gyanesh On Sat, Feb 1, 2014 at 12:37 AM, David Downing david.h.down...@gmail.comwrote: That tutorial for FarmeMaker 9 has been working pretty well for me until now, because there appear to be some big differences in the interface for conditional text tags. The tutorial for FM9 says to click the Apply button at the top of the list of tags and select the in radio button -- but neither of these things are included on that window for 12. Also, FM 12 includes a State check box that isn't in the FM9 interface.

Hello
Hi Mike, Thanks for the encouraging words. It may not be judicious of me to make big commitments, but the effort going forward is going to be close to the things you have mentioned. About Hunspell and Proximity dictionaries, I initially thought that these are more like plugins that exist out of FrameMaker too, so their explanation may not be a critical requirement. But since users like yourself are looking for this information, let me add details about these two dictionaries soon in documentation. Your feedback is valuable. I'll first do something about the specifics you have pointed out. But going forward, I'll keep in mind that I include things that you have asked for.

Fm 10: Show Element Descriptive Tags
Yves, This option is supposed to display definitions of the tags in the element catalog. But you first need to insert these definitions in the structure.

Re: Frame crashes when trying to generate output from DITA map... (cross posting)
Thanks again Scott! Yes, I've installed OT (properly or not-don't know) and sundry other components... Apache... JDK .. Java Help etc and have made the changes in system variables.

Re: Frame crashes when trying to generate output from DITA map... (cross posting)
Hey Scott.. thanks again. And sorry, I didn't see your earlier message earlier. But, I am afraid, the patch hasn't solved my problem. I just have to say Generate Output and I hear that loud thud... everytime! I am trying to implement DITA on my colleagues machine. But guys, is there's anyone out there who has worked with DITA application pack successfully to generate CHMs or HTML? I am asking because I shared this problem with someone in the Frame development team... and the response wasn't very encouraging. This person just asked me to go for the 8 beta, as it has integrated DITA support... one doesn't need to grapple with the Application pack.

Re: PDF Content reuse with Frame + DITA?
Thanks Scott! I think i will settle for show/hide. And if I do, is there a way to handle index/toc/variables (such as name of the book) automatically? Or do I do that manually? And let's say I have to implement DITA. Can I still publish two different PDFs selectively? And how will I carry out the selection of text in Structured Frame? Thanks again!

Conversion Table again : How to handle Root Element
Hi Framers, Further to my mail on element , I've brought down my document and EDD to three elements to zero-in on the problem and I believe it is about Root Element not being handled. In Frame 7.0: EDD Document Chapter (Root Element) -ChapterNameChapterName -Overview Overview -Para Para In the conversion table, all elements are mapped to the proper para format except the root element (Chapter). Apparently, the root element chapter is not being handled and in place of that is appearing. I can fix it by Re-Wrapping the elements in the document but am not able to figure out how I can avoid this problem altogether. I am aware that in Frame 7.2, this can be handled with RE: , which is not working in 7.0. Please suggest. Gyanesh Talwar "Bunbu Itchi"
Conversion Table Error: Element comes out of nowhere
Framers, For a proof-of-concept, I am trying to convert a small unstructured document to structured using conversion table and a basic EDD. Although the conversion table is getting created perfectly, but when I apply this conversion table to the document, the element is getting inserted at the top and spoiling everything. What am I doing wrong? The EDD is as follows: EDD Version is 7.0 Automatically create formats on import. Element (Container): Chapter General rule:ChapterInfo, (Overview, Para), Para+, (Option, Para, Procedure)+ Valid as the highest-level element. ~~ Element (Container): ChapterInfo General rule:ChapterNumber,ChapterName Element (Container): ChapterNumber General rule: Text format rules In all contexts. ~~ Use paragraph format: ChapterNumber Element (Container): ChapterName General rule: Text format rules In all contexts.
