Tammy,
I have no Frame advice to offer (I am sure you've tried everything I would
have tried, and I'd be equally frustrated in your situation), but as a
workaround, can you manually create these links in Acrobat after the fact?
To be clear, you shouldn't HAVE to do this, but in a pinch...
Good luc
Tammy, that sounds hair-tearingly-out frustrating!
I don't have any brilliant technical clues to help you, but would it be
just as fast (e.g., slow) to use Snag-It to capture the equation in Word
when it's on-screen, and save that?
If you're already opening the exported images from Word in Snag-it,
Hello, Framers,
Historically (I inherited this system) the manuals for my company have
listed the month and year as the revision. And that has worked ok, except
when more than one update needed to happen within a month. And my boss
wants me to switch to a numbered revision system.
But what has me
Framers,
This feels like a dumb question, but I haven't been able to find an answer
elsewhere. I have installed Frame 2019 on a new hard drive. If I choose
Help>Updates from my menu, it runs the updater and says my app is up to
date. And if I choose Help>About, I see it listed as Version: 15.0.4.75
Framers,
I am getting a hard drive Monday, so all software will need to be
reinstalled. I'm on Frame 2019 and Creative Cloud on Windows 10.
Last time I got a new hard drive I was on Frame 8 and Acrobat 9 and if I
recall correctly, the recommendation was to install Frame before Acrobat;

I don't think I've got any "advanced Frame" ideas to add, but Bernard, your
Word list example made me chuckle.

Fred,
I'm going to be in the same boat (new computer) soon, so just to clarify
your recommendation:
Frame first
then Acrobat DC
(so that the newer Acrobat can replace whatever "headless" version of
distiller that Frame installs)
?
Thanks,

We have decreasing font size for headers.
Heading 1: 16 pt bold, across all columns and side head
Heading 2: 14 pt bold, side head
Heading 3: 12 pt bold, in column
We sometimes go down to Heading 4, which is 10 pt bold italic, in column
Body text is 10 pt
May the Font Be With You.

Framers,
A little googling did not clarify anything for me, so I thought I'd ask

relevant enough to me to justify upgrading (and it works fine for me on
Windows 7).
The issue I have is that I need to send some manuals ou

I am also running Frame 8 on Win 7 (but unstructured). I have not had your

Fei Min,
I'm on Frame 8, so I have no solutions for Frame 10, but have you tried
using Windows Character Map (under Programs>Accessories>System Tools) as a
workaround? I was able to find and copy the ∞ symbol from there.
Not a terribly elegant solution, but an alternative to copy/paste from

Ok, so here's a thought--can you make a copy of your whole original set of
files and graphic folders (untranslated), then delete the fm files in
there, and copy and paste in the translated fm files? Would they then be
looking for the graphics in the right place?
