Re: [Framers] OT: Punctuation question

2019-01-08 Thread Michael Lewis 
Ah. But it is necessary *sometimes*. The basis of the Oxford style is that 
including it is sometimes necessary but never harmful. Its consistent omission 
is often predicated on the quite false assumption that it does the same job as 
"and" so need never be used alongside it. But "and" is purely conjunctive 
whereas the comma can also be disjunctive.

Two points:The "Oxford style" is to include the comma, not to omit it. It was 
so named because the Oxford University Press, almost alone among British 
publishers, mandated it in their style guide.Secondly, as for its being 
essential to avoid ambiguity, tell that to all the other British and other 
publishers who don't use it, and generations of British and other writers who 
have never used it.

I should have been clearer and a bit less grumpy ;-) I follow the Oxford style, 
which is to omit the comma unless ambiguity is caused by doing so.

twice, but rarely.)

FM recovers without having to close program.

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Crashes

2017-05-16 Thread Michael Lewis 
I blush to admit that I am still using FM 7. I used it professionally 
for a long time, and produced many technical and academic texts with it, 
despite the hassles of getting colleagues to deal with PDF commenting; 
but as a retired person I don't need and can't justify any upgrade. 
Anyway, the point is that only under Win 10 (which I hate for many other 
reasons) do I have this problem: if I hold down the left mouse button 
for anything that FM apparently considers "too long", FM freezes. I'm 
trying to train myself to use the cursor keys more than I used to, but 
it's still a pain.


I don't expect Adobe to produce a fix for FM 7, but it would be 
interesting to see where the problem is coming from.

Re: [Framers] Framers Digest, Vol 130, Issue 15

2017-01-26 Thread Michael Lewis 

David's post leads to some interesting questions:

1. To what extent (if at all) does a reader's "preference" reflect 
"effectiveness", or comprehension?


2. It seems at least possible that fonts preferences vary according to 
the purpose of reading - information or entertainment. Has this been 
assessed?


3. To what extent is our ability to read, interpret, and understand a 
typeface shaped by the texts we were exposed to in childhood, when we 
were learning to read?


Key (old-ish) texts here are Karen Shriver's _Dynamics in Document 
Design_, where she reports only on reader preference (aesthetics rather 
than comprehension), and Colin Wheildon's _Type and Layout_, where he 
does assess comprehension and recall, though his methodology is flawed 
in some respects.


- Michael Lewis

My two cents...
As far as readability, I read something a _long_ time ago that said in the

United States, the reading preference (on hard copy) was split about
50/50--while in other countries, serif fonts still had the edge (about
80/20). That was due to the internet being more popular in the US at the
time, so the other countries might be closer to the US percentage now. Of
course, it is possible that the san serif preference could have surpassed
the serif with younger readers too.

Re: [Framers] Question about differentiating heading levels

2017-01-24 Thread Michael Lewis 
Trouble with many commercial designs is that "design" outweighs 
communication. So many graphic designers focus on "what looks nice" 
rather than "what works to promote the purpose of the document". 
Granted, that's at best a failure in the training of such designers, but 
it does constitute a warning that "best practise" isn't always "best 
practise".


- Michael Lewis



On 2017-01-24 19:38, Steve Rickaby wrote:

There are a number of ways to delineate heading levels. The general rule is

It's real easy to create an ugly design. It's real hard to create a beautiful 
one - which is why there are folks called graphic designers. For those of us 
who aren't (such as me), I've often found it useful to look for suitable 
commercial designs and then emulate them. I don't mean copy, but extract the 
underlying principles. Your eye will tell you what looks right and what look 
weird.

<$volnum> needs one numbering format in heading and different format in page number

I know (believe, anyway) that FM finds its natural home in the technical
communication community, and I've used it that way -- a lot -- in the past.
But now I use it for academic writing. My chief motivation in obtaining Mif2Go
has nothing to do with generating help or HTML files; I use it to interface
with EndNote, because EndNote needs nice clean RTF. I can't guess at how many
other users, or how many other listers, have similar needs. But I wonder
whether anyone else in the same boat as me has thought about whether Mif2Go
could provide a tighter EndNote interface. (Don't ask me for details; I've no
idea!)

No use case, but I can certainly imagine situations where a complex step

You could always insert a Head 2 "Introduction" immediately after the Head 1 .

RE: Autonumber chapters in Frammaker 5.5 ...

2006-05-07 Thread Michael Lewis 
Peter Courlis:

 Need help in getting autonumbering to work...

 I am using Framemaker 5.5.

Are you setting the numbering properties for each chapter file? You can do
this at book level, by clicking on the filename then going to Format -
Document - Numbering. Or you can open the chapter file, go to the same spot
to set the numbering properties, then set the book-level properties as Read
from File. In either case, all chapters except the first need Continue
from previous file.

What I can't remember is whether 5.5 has a Chapter tab in the Numbering
dialog, or whether it's all done from the Paragraph tab.

Grope around in that general direction, and you should find what you need.
