Mif2Go Help?
Hi All, I'm working with the demo version of Mif2Go so I can create a Word version of my tech manuals (long story short: ancient customer demands Word for delivery). I'm having some difficulty getting the output to look like my Frame files... it doesn't help any that the magic huh? button doesn't seem to call up any of the help files (can't display the web page). So here's a general plea: tips? Tricks? Suggestions? How can I get one Word (or RTF, I guess) file for the book as a whole instead of one file per .fm file? How can I get my graphics to show up at the right size? ??? I'm on Frame 7.1, windows platform. My company is going to buy licenses soon, but I'm the lucky one who gets to play with the demo, learn how to make it work, and then train my department. Except I'm stuck. Thanks in advance; feel free to email me directly if it's too much clutter for the list. Cheers! Nicole ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Total Page Count on Title Page
Hi all, My manager requested that I add a total page count on the title page for a book and I'm running into a hitch. FM help file shows a way to do this with consecutive numbering for each chapter, but we use modified MIL-Spec here - i.e., each page number consists of a chapter and the page number, and restarts for each chapter. Any suggestions? I'm using Frame 7.1 if that matters. -Nicole
Total Page Count on Title Page
Hi David, Tried that - it only reflects a page count for that individual file, not for the entire book. -Nicole From: David Spreadbury [mailto:dspre...@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, September 15, 2008 11:45 AM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com; Hales-Crotchett, Nicole Subject: Re: Total Page Count on Title Page Nicole, I haven't done it, but, according to the book, the Page Count variable (<$lastpagenum>), without the parens, should work. Try putting that in your footer, or wherever on the cover, and see what it gives you. You should be able to put it anywhere, except on a Master Page. --- On Mon, 9/15/08, Hales-Crotchett, Nicole wrote:

Nicole said this is a folio-numbered book (chapter-page). If by Page building block, you mean <$pagenum>, that will just give you the number of the last page in the last file -- "4" if it's a 4-page index. If you're thinking of an xref format named Page, in a folio-numbered book that's probably defined as <$chapnum>-<$pagenum> -- maybe "IX-4" for that index. For a quick solution, David's idea of adding it in Acrobat will work. Or, heck, use Acrobat to determine the page count, then add it in FM and re-PDF. A longer-term, more extensible solution probably involves a script or plugin. In fact, I vaguely recall there being a FrameScript script to do this, but don't have time to track it down at the moment. HTH! Richard Richard G.

FrameMaker Index of Referenced Graphics
Hi, Back in January, Mr. Combs offered the following great solution to creating a list of referenced graphics in a document.

From the book window, with the last file in the book selected, select Add Index of References. In the Set Up dialog box, move Imported Graphics to the Include References box. Click Add. Voila! At the end of your book, FM adds an alphabetical index of referenced graphics. Each entry shows the complete path and file name. HTH! Richard I was wondering if anyone has a QD solution that would create not an alphabetical list, but a list in order by page number. Here’s my code from the Reference Pages: 1, 2–3 $symbols$numerics$alphabetics -‑–— Level1IOR openObjectId $relfilename:$ObjectType $ObjectId $autorange$chapnum‑$pagenum I’ve been tinkering around with this all morning and can’t figure out how to bend it to my will.

Page Number in Paragraph Style
Hi, I'd like to set up a paragraph format to use for my footer that contains the page number and my company's required document label. When I try to use $pagenum (or $curpagenum, or if I paste in the $curpagenum variable) in the autonumber format for the style, and place the footer on the master page, I don't get the page number (just the text $pagenum or #). Any tips? Frame 7.1, Windoze. Thanks!

Crashing Books & Find/Change
Sorry for the potential duplication; first one didn't post. Frame 7.1, Win XP Pro ? Has anyone run into the issue of a book occasionally crashing after running a find/change? ?Occasionally after completing I'll get a message telling me that "FrameMaker has detected a serious problem and must quit", and then a message that reads "The instruction at '0x00341469' referenced memory at '0x'. The memory could not be 'read'." Clicking 'ok" closes it all out. ? The FrameLog has a whole lot of information in it I don't understand; nothing clearly pointing to a cause. I've run into this a few times; generally I'll just re-start Frame and get back to what I was doing. ?? ? Any hints? Nicole ?

OT: IETM Research Help
Greetings! I'm sorry to take up space on the list, but I really need some advice on where to turn. My management has tasked me with researching IETM (software and development). Currently we're paper-based. I got my department to switch to FrameMaker from Word last year for our technical manual production, so while I've gone through as much training as is available via Adobe, I'm relatively new to the Frame world. I'm even newer to the world of IETMs. I have a slew of questions, but don't want to bother the list with an off topic. Does anybody have any advice of where I can turn? Thanks in advance- Nicole
