Re: [Framers] Windows 7 Update Garbling Graphics on Left Auxiliary Monitor Only

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Kevin,

I had the same issue.
My second monitor is left to my main monitor and
I got this security update KB4034679 installed.
Then graphics applications on  the left monitor did not work properly.
Now everything works well again. Therefore I forgot what I did
exactly to get it running.
I think I ran an additional update and activated the Aero Design.
(Before I had used the classic design.)
More information here:

Subject: [Framers] Windows 7 Update Garbling Graphics on Left Auxiliary Monitor 
Only

This is an "anyone found a better workaround?" question.

I know this sounds strange to those who haven't experienced it yet, but a 
Microsoft security update (KB4034679) in the last few months causes big 
problems for my left-placed auxiliary monitor.   It renders all three of my 
image editors (PaintShop Pro, Snagit, and GIMP) almost useless in one monitor 
only by garbling images, misrepresenting clipboard content pasted into the 
editor, and refusing to refresh images properly.  Image screens on my left 
auxiliary monitor (my desk monitor) don't refresh properly and if I drag them 
around they display skid marks reminiscent of something you might see on the 
Road Runner cartoon (beep beep beep beep).  It also causes "Image Not Found" 
errors followed by crashes in FrameMaker-all when the referenced image in 
question is correctly present.  If I perform the same actions with the same 
programs on my right-hand primary monitor (my laptop), there is no problem 
whatsoever

Here is a link by someone who has documented the problem well:

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.computerworld.com_article_3215194_microsoft-2Dwindows_two-2Dof-2Dthis-2Dmonths-2Dwin7-2Dpatches-2Dcausing-2Dsecond-2Dscreen-2Dproblems.html=DwICAg=0YGvTs3tT-VMy8_v51yLDw=pdk93NJbIWwQmLZh1EZCoC4wFNMwWj1dp-sJbkswCLE=vrnR50Aqu_AOHwUWXA2jVNKp0CwwyCbvWU-P6JuwK9U=afzYsCO6bTy9-Q2XhoJYRkz5EjGJ-urMq3badA5GFow=

I have proven that the problem goes away when KB4034679 update is removed from 
my laptop, but since it is a security-based Microsoft update, my corporate IT 
wanted me to reinstall the update-also successfully restoring the problem to my 
system.  :<

Apparently this graphics-rendering problem affects only monitors having 
"negative screen coordinates"-as an external #2 monitor located to the left of 
the primary #1  monitor does.  I just tested changing my Windows screen setup 
to have the #1 laptop on the left and the #2 desk monitor on the right-and the 
#2 monitor showed no graphics problem. But I would prefer not to have Microsoft 
determine how my desk is arranged.

Might anyone know a less-silly workaround or fix for this problem?

Thanks for your time,

Kevin Ryan

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker variable language

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

Some years ago I had noticed that only those variables or cross-reference
formats or paragraph autonumbering definitions are imported in a
translation memory system (Trados) which are actually used in the document.
All those which are not used are not imported.
When you edit a variable which is not translated and then import
all variable definitions into another file, you might overwrite already
translated variable definitions in the other file.

I do not know, if this had changed. And it could be that some translation
memory systems handle this issue differently.

Best regards

Winfried

For next time, make sure the translators are given instructions to translate
the relevant variables in the variable file (you may need to specify the
specific variables) as well as any auto-numbering para formats that contain
words (eg, Chapter, Appendix, etc).

I always provide a specific variable file for the translators to use with
instructions on importing the variables into the book.

May be a novice question for you guys who work in translation, but it's new
to me.

I'm updating an already translated-into-Spanish document with some new
screen shots (I don't speak Spanish, so I'm not messing with the text at
all). The problem is that the variables, like the Table Continuation, are
coming in as English instead of Spanish.

How can I get it to read "continuado" instead of "continued," hopefully
without messing up my installation too much?

Re: [Framers] Embedding attachments in FM that remain attachments when PDF'd

Hi,

Only a comment to the Previous/Next View buttons.
Acrobat does have them.
To show them click View | Show/Hide | Toolbar Items |
Show Page Navigation Tools. Then click Previous View and
Next View.

However, I agree that almost no-one will know these buttons.
None of my colleagues has changed the configuration to Show.

   I forgot to mention that there's a pretty rough usability issue with
   hotspot linking to an embedded PDF: Unless you define it so that it
   opens in a new tab or Acrobat/Reader window (if a PDF) then the only
   way a user can navigate 'back' is with Alt+Left Arrow. I cannot find
   any way to add a "Back" and "Forward" button to the toolbar (and end
   users likely wouldn't either, if such toolbar buttons are not visible
   by default!).

   Oh, and the Alt+Left Arrow only works in Acrobat, not Reader. (Seems
   Reader will open in a new tab, so not so bad...)

   Of course, any attachments that open in other applications will
   generate new windows, between which a user could easily navigate.

   Perhaps you could make your icons where you want them in FM with the
   intention of *attaching* the (non-FM, non-PDF) files to the PDF
   post-distillation. If you can figure out how a PDF attachment can be
   referenced with a relative path--or, perhaps, as an anchor, like one
   would do to have a URL call for a specific heading in the PDF?--then
   you could have the FM URL 'point' to where the PDF attachments will
   eventually 'live' in the final PDF. (Extra points if you can make the
   FM icons+links Reference Page elements, for consistent reuse and
   file-size efficiency!)
   Sorry I cannot offer exact steps; I offer a map not a guidebook. :^)
   EDIT: OK, it was not hard to find the first steps; refer to "Link to a
   file attachment" on this page:

   That takes the perspective of creating the link hotspot in Acrobat; but
   that's just something you'd do once, pre-production, to get the URL for
   use in an FM gotolink marker. As to HOW you'd see the underlying URL
   for the (testing-use) hotspot, I have no idea. There must be some tool
   that 'decompiles' a PDF so you can see the 'raw code' behind a link
   hotspot, surely...? Alternately, if you have a relative few 'icons' in
   the FM to link, you can make one hotspot per icon-PDF attachment
   pairing and copy & paste them into place. Tedious, perhaps... but then
   again, so is making an active PDF Form from FM without PDF TimeSavers!
   ;^)
   Let us know what you resolve!

   In this case, I didn't want to do a link of any type because where
   these
   types of files are kept is in a secure location and people won't get
   in,
   though these particular files are not restricted access due to

I believe the current versions of FrameMaker (not sure when this started) 
allows you to save the state of what files are open and will reopen with those 
files automatically opening as part of the next startup process. I remember 
seeing this in a demo. I'm thinking it started in FM2015 which I don't have

The organization that I work with is in the process of upgrading all of

FrameMaker 11. They are trying to purchase FrameMaker Release 2017 but that
takes a fair amount of time.



We have installed FrameMaker 11 on two Windows 10 corporate workstations.
When "View Text Symbols" is on, the tab symbol appears to be displayed as a
"1" and the marker symbol appears to be displayed as a "6". The paragraph
symbol appears to display normally. This occurs on both workstations. It
appears that they symbols don't take any space as expected.



I have installed FrameMaker 11 on my personal Windows 10 workstation without
this occurring.



Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this?



Thank you for any ideas that you may have.

Re: [Framers] Custom graphic as bullet

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Gillian,

You cannot use a graphic in the automatic numbering of your
list paragraph format. Pitty.
However, there are two other options:

o As others have suggested: Create a special list font with only a single 
character
  at the position of e.g. "n".
  This character should be your custom bullet.
  Then create a character format with this font.
  In your list paragraph format use n as your Autonumber and set your character
  format.

o On the reference pages create a graphic frame with your bullet.
  On the body pages create a paragraph format, e.g. bullet which uses this 
graphic frame
  as frame above.
  Set the Space below to e.g. -30 pt.
  Set the Next Pgf Tag to your list paragraph.
  In the list paragraph format set the space above to the same negative value, 
e.g. -30 pt.
  Give it a left indent, so that it starts at the right of the bullet.
  Now your second paragraph is pulled up to be to the right of the bullet 
paragraph.
  You will have to play with the space above/below values to get the two 
paragraphs aligned.
  And when you enter text in the list paragraph the text will be invisible 
first.
  The text will be printed or saved to PDF without any problem.
  To get it displayed on your monitor you must press CTRL+L.

Best regards

Winfried

Subject: Re: [Framers] Custom graphic as bullet

Hi Gillian,

I don't have Frame available, so if I remember correctly (fingers crossed), 
here's how you can make a custom bullet:

Draw a Graphic Frame on the Reference Pages and if the art file size is small 
enough, I'd copy, not reference it into the frame. Name the Graphic Frame, for 
example, Custom Bullet.

Now here's the part I can't quite remember: in the Para Designer, I *think* 
your new Graphic Frame, Custom Bullet, will be in the Building Block list. 
Bring up the current bullet paragraph format, delete the bullet Building Block 
and put Custom Bullet in its place. Be sure to click on it from the Building 
Block list, don't type it in.

If you know they will never want the old bullet, you can do an Update All and 
not keep any overrides. If you're not sure, you can create a new para format 
with the Custom Bullet, and retag paragraphs as needed.

Then you'll have to play around with the placement/size of the art in the 
Graphic Frame, and tabs.

Hope this helps -

Louise

Our marketing department wants us to use a customized bullet. It's more of a 
graphic, because it's not in the character palette. They use InDesign so they 
inserted it as a graphic. They want us to use it as a bullet in all of our 
bullet lists.

So how do I make a customized bullet list with a customzed graphic? The 
Character Designer does not allow for inserting a graphic to create a bullet. 
Any ideas?

Re: [Framers] Up for discussion: changing Framers' default Reply-To behavior

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

_All_ my other lists have the default to Reply to the list
instead of the poster.
And there I do not get lots of private e-mails which are sent
to the whole list accidentally. (Of course this happens
sometimes. I did this too. Embarassing.)
I also think that part of the replies in this list are sent to the
poster instead of the list.
Therefore I would prefer that also Framers use the default
to Reply to All.

Subject: [Framers] Up for discussion: changing Framers' default Reply-To 
behavior

In the "old days" of this list, it was expected that a poster would
summarize the comments received, especially any that were sent
off-list. These days, most of us don't have time for that and we miss
so much good information that could help us all. I know that often
someone posts something that I want to watch for replies, only to
never read another word on the subject except a mention of all the
great off-list replies.

Related to this is what I find to be a major pain in the a**--
pressing Ctrl-R and forgetting that my reply will go only to the
original poster. I have to then find the Framers email address,
copy/paste it into the header or a new email, and resend the message.
I think this may be contributing to the propensity of off-list replies.

When I originally set up this new Framers list, I opted to set the
default Reply-To behavior to send only to the poster and not the list
because it was the recommended action for new lists. I'm beginning to
really regret that decision. So as List Mom, I'd like to change the
default reply behavior to go to the list and not to the sender. I
realize that this might create situations that could prove
embarrassing if one accidentally sends a private reply to the entire
list. I'm willing to entertain valid arguments both pro and con to
this change in list behavior. I'd prefer receiving them off-list
(ca...@frameusers.com) unless you feel that your argument merits all
1089 of us taking the time to read it. I won't make this decision
unilaterally -- this list belongs to all of us and relies on all of
us to provide good content and helpful advice.

Bear in mind that if I DO make this change, I will give plenty of
advance warning and repeat it a few times before making the change so
that we all have time to retrain our brains.

Hi, there,
some years ago I created some PDF-Mark buttons with the postscript
frames in Framemaker, which enabled the navigation in a pdf document
("previous page", "next page" or "jump to TOC"). Up to Framemaker 12 it
was without any problems possible to create a online pdf.
But now in Framemaker 2015 this no longer works: the pdf distilling
stops with the following message:

It seems that the Acrobat DC PlugIn no longer understands the PDF mark

I work with Framemaker 12 and 2015 in a Virtual Machine with Windows 7

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Framers] Cross reference format (what do you use?)

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Bernard,

I have several kinds of cross-reference formats:
o Only section number/figure number/title number/step number.
  For figure and title number that's <$paranumonly>.
  For the others <$paranum>.
o Section number + heading text <$paranum> "<$paratext>"
  I have also a heading4 format without section numbering.
  (I have 4 heading levels, no chapter level.)
  There I use only "<$paratext>".
  I use double-quotes. In my oppinion better than another
  character format. With several cross-references on each page
  and with different character formats the page layout would
  be confusing.
  For translations the double quotes must be replaced with those
  of the target language. I have a FrameScript which does this.
  Here I do not trust the translator.
o The same as above plus: on page <$pagenum>
  I use this for those cross-references which are on another page
  of the PDF. I find the page number helpful, especially for steps
  of instructions (I need this format rarely) or for cross-references
  to heading4 (without section numbering).

I do not include any words before the cross-reference format
into the format. I never know where such words should be positioned
in another language. Or whether they must be inflected or can
remain unchanged. In your source language this might be the same:
in section 123
see section 123
(section 123)
However, do you know, if this word is also the same in your target
language?

Best regards

Winfried

Subject: [Framers] Cross reference format (what do you use?)

Here is a simple question that I'm sure will have a LOT of opinion. I
hope...

Building some print-friendly xref formats, and I'm curious what people here
actually use. We're all familiar with the function (I think) or at least, we
should be.

You may have text like this:

Chapter 1. Canada
Blah blah
1.A Alberta
Blah blah
1.B New Brunswick
Blah blah

Plus you have tables, figures, equations, sections, examples, steps, etc,
etc, etc.

You link to stuff like "Canada" or "Chapter 1" or "Chapter 1. Canada" or
even "Canada on page 23" or whatever. Some xref content may be "See
<$paratext>" or "<$paranumonly>" or "step <$paranumonly>". You may also
choose to put in sentences like "For more information see section
<$paranumonly> on page\ <$pagenum>. " so that it is a self-contained
sentence.

I don't know. There are a LOT of ways to xref to stuff though.


My question is this: What would be the top 3 or 4 ways *you* xref something?
Not the steps to insert an xref, but the way it looks in your output.

What does the code or the xref look like? Do you put in full sentence xrefs?
Do you use words in them? Do you use quotes around content? I know that
there are a bizzilion ways to xref stuff, so input would be greatly
appreciated.

Lastly, I'm not concerned about online as that can be changed at publish
time. What do you do though in the print materials? For example, if I use
"For more info see pg <$pagenum>. " as a sentence in the online I can just
replace it with <$paranumonly>, or <@paratext>, or whatever. The issue for
me is "what do people do for print" in regards to the numbering, text,
quotes, etc.

Thanks to all.

Bernard

Hi,

Is your TOC file really a live TOC?
How did you add this file to the book file?
A live TOC must be added via "Add | Create Standalone TOC".
Then you get the dialog to set up the table of contents.
You can access this dialog also when you select the TOC file in the book
and click "Edit | Set Up Table of Contents".

Re: [Framers] Unusual C-Acute Accent

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Karen,

I can only confirm what Tino said: ć is not part of HelveticaNeueLTStd.
Check for example here to see the available characters in this font:
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/helvetica-neue/

The Windows character palette shows also characters which are _not_
in a particular font.
Use another tool like the free font browser BabelMap. It also has
some font analysis tools which show all available characters of a certain
font.
I just saw that the developers of BabelMap do not provide a download
until Unicode 9 is out.
http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html
However, if you search for BabelMap you will find other sites from
which you can download it.

Hi Karen,

I checked with FM 2015 on PC:
The glyph palette shows more characters, that is true, but only
characters that really are part of the font have a correct wysiwyg
preview.
If you click on the "ć", a question mark is shown in the text, which is
the expected result.

As far as I can tell, you should "upgrade" the Helvetica font... It will
be a little bit more expensive, but it is the best way to have a
consistent design throughout all different languages.

Re: [Framers] create custom keyboard shortcut - for ES script ?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Monique,

I think that these scripts from Klaus Göbel do what you want:
4X_MenuMaker
4X_MenuConfigurator

You can find them here:
http://4xscripts.com/scripts/free-scripts.html

Best regards

Winfried

Subject: [Framers] create custom keyboard shortcut - for ES script ?

Hello, Framers,

I’ve recently purchased several ExtendScripts, and would very much like to 
create keyboard shortcuts for them, but I’m stumped. If there’s a simple 
few-step procedure, please share. If it’s complex, perhaps there’s some info 
online that you could point me to as a starting point?

I’m using unstructured FrameMaker 2015 (FrameMaker 13) on Windows 7. The 
specific script/utility I’m working with at the moment is Rick Quatro’s 
ImportFormatsSpecial, but I’ve got a number of other ExtendScripts and (Silicon 
Prairie) plugins that would be much easier to use if there were keyboard 
shortcuts.

I found the general process in Klaus Daube’s doc for FrameMaker 1, 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.daube.ch_docu_files_etb-2Dcustomising-2Dfm.pdf=CwIGaQ=0YGvTs3tT-VMy8_v51yLDw=pdk93NJbIWwQmLZh1EZCoC4wFNMwWj1dp-sJbkswCLE=nBSVplXIqqcZPm3aKSjeHF1K2o88wQoQ82ZOHlf2Afs=kycwj9dCptLUMw5zY5mq4hqB9OGqwWA-mDfSHtorC4U=
 , on pages 18-16 and  18-20 (these aren’t page ranges, but pages 16 and 20, in 
chapter 18). And I found his updated doc for FrameMaker 12/13, 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.daube.ch_docu_files_etb-2Dcustomising-2Dfm12.pdf=CwIGaQ=0YGvTs3tT-VMy8_v51yLDw=pdk93NJbIWwQmLZh1EZCoC4wFNMwWj1dp-sJbkswCLE=nBSVplXIqqcZPm3aKSjeHF1K2o88wQoQ82ZOHlf2Afs=QA5claGnhosCtDlo1QpxGwoBRJ6Nd3BplesMqKkWLFk=
 , which explains the new location for the CFG files for the different views. 
(I’m not quite clear on “views” vs. “workspaces”...)



And when I create a customui.cfg, how do I ensure that it doesn’t interfere 
with whatever is adding the ExtendScripts and plugins to the menu in the first 
place? I haven’t figured out what makes these things appear in the FrameMaker 
menu...



I’m sure that this is very easy to do, and the examples in Klaus Daube’s doc 
support that. But the hard part is figuring out just which files to revise 
and/or copy-and-adapt!



Thanks very much,

-Monique

Re: [Framers] ExtendScript for save as text, for Git usage ?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

I remember that Jeremy Griffith from Omni Systems (the
developer of Mif2Go) had tried to do that: conversion to
MIF and comparison to previous versions. However, he
was not sucessful. MIF code contains too much formatting
code which is not relevant for the reader.

Maybe you could test an export to Text or HTML instead.

Best regards

Winfried

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

While MIF is a wonderful format for an ASCII description of a FM file,
it's really not intended for human consumption. First off, it's not
linear. Each FM object is defined in a section, and within that section
the objects are declared in reasonably orderly fashion, but it's really
complicated to jump from one object to another (as happens from
paragraphs to tables). Also, within a section, say the main body of
content, you may notice that the strings aren't always complete. You can
have a sentence fragment that ends in the middle of a word .. then
continues in the next block. This makes it really hard to search for
things since they may be split.

What you want is some sort of MIF-normalizer, that can make it more user
friendly. But, I don't think that really exists. There is a tool called
MIF-Muncher 
(https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.stc-2Dcarolina.org_MIF-2BMuncher=CwICAg=0YGvTs3tT-VMy8_v51yLDw=pdk93NJbIWwQmLZh1EZCoC4wFNMwWj1dp-sJbkswCLE=BkD7Yk4w5mHjRd2IHGLDpqa2we3r8jWIO3qWOHDuHnQ=mYDUQJGxXmBvjoTPj629pThr5yQ-kj8Fxi1ya1Hcnms=
 ) .. that helps with
scanning for various objects in a MIF .. but I don't know that it'll
work on a modern system. I made a tool that converts MIF into MIFML (an
XML representation of a MIF) and back, but that doesn't make it any
easier to read.

MIFs are great but can also be a very scary place to hang out for much
time.  :o

Cheers,
...scott

Re: [Framers] Printing FM12 to PDF -- Page numbering issue

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

As a user I find it easier when a book is numbered consecutively.
That means: 1 is the title page (although the title page does not have
a page number displayed).

You can find out easily which application was used to create
the PDF. In Acrobat press CTRL + D (or in the File menu click Properties).
In the Document Properties dialog click the Description tab.
There the application is listed to create the PDF.

Subject: [Framers] Printing FM12 to PDF -- Page numbering issue

I recently saw a pdf document that used small Roman numerals for title page and 
front matter (per Chicago Manual of Style) with rest of book in normal numbers. 
When in the PDF, if you were in the front matter, the page number in 
Acrobat/Reader would display the Roman numerals and Numeric when you were in 
the rest of the manual, so that the page number in the Reader page navigation 
toolbar always matched the actual page in the document.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how the writer did that (I don't know if 
the document was created in FM). If I set front matter pages in Roman numerals 
and Chapter pages in Numeric, then print the book to pdf, I only see 
consecutive pages in the toolbar (e.g. ii is shown as 2 in the toolbar).

Am I trying to do something that you can't do when printing FM to PDF?

Hi Tom,

You might also combine them in a PDF portfolio.

The portfolio supports all the features which you need.
However, I do not know, whether other PDF viewers
can open such a portfolio. Just test it.

This is not necessarily a FrameMaker issue, but I a presuming that some of you 
may have done this and would be able to provide me with needed advice.

For a few of our machines, we ship several manuals with each group of machines 
on a project -- one print copy of each manual and, currently, a CD/DVD of each 
individually packaged in a CD/DVD book case. I want to replace these multiple 
CDs with a single disc that contains the pdf versions of all of the manuals 
shipped.

Rather than just burning all of the manuals to disc, I'd like to compile them 
onto a single disc with a cover file that opens when the CD is inserted (if the 
user has autoplay enabled) and provides links to each of the manuals on the CD. 
Is it possible to do this in Acrobat (I have Acrobat XI Pro running on a 64-bit 
Windows 7 Enterprise SP1) or FrameMaker? All of the manuals that would be 
burned to the CD also were created in FrameMaker 12.

RE: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi John,

I use two plugins/FrameScript packages very often:

i-frame
i-frame is a collection of scripts for FrameScript. The modules
encompass scripts for everything! I like these scripts best:
Scale Graphics - for me invaluable!
FM2MIF2FM - Convert to/from MIF
There are many more to get reports and to maintain formats.
I can only recommend to have a look at the web-site.
http://www.i-frame.itl.info/en/feature-description.html

Import formats special
This plugin adds some more options to the Import Formats dialog.
Specifically: User variables
This is a plugin which I need very often.
It's from Rick Quatro, but I couldn't find it on his homepage.

Best regards

Winfried

 Thanks, John, but this is a one-shot deal.

 First, I'd never get a scripting product in here. The applications have to

 Second, if I was to use someone like Rick, it would be a 4 month process
 for each one I tried to get.

 I cannot install anything. It has to be done by the right department.

 I'd look into FrameScript. There are many useful free scripts available,
 and you can write your own or contract someone to write them for you.  I
 highly recommend Rick Quatro, whose wizardry has dramatically expanded
 what
 I can do with unstructured FrameMaker 12.

 Two examples of easy, effective cleanup:
 * ArchiveFM.fso does pretty much what the late Bruce Foster's Archive
 plugin did - it takes all the files, images, and text insets in a book,
 even those referenced from distant folders, and puts them in a ZIP archive.
 In seconds you can blow away all those extra images that aren't used in a
 book.
 * TidyImport.fso enable you to clean up a doc with too many extra para and
 character tags by doing a CleanImport from a known good clean template or
 chapter. Not just those, but Para, Char, Table, Variable, x-ref,
 conditions, color defs, math defs, doc properties, object styles, reference
 pages and page layouts.

 FrameScript is $179 for a single license. See https://framescript.com/

RE: Limit Find/Change

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi John,

(I use FrameMaker 11. In other versions that might be different.)
There is an easy solution:
In your search dialog select Paragraph Tag.
Activate Wildcards.
Enter this in your Search box: Body$
Then click on Find.

The $ limits the search to only those matches where the preceeding
word is at the end of a line.
Obviously the paragraph tag counts as a line.
Similarly you could add ^ before the search term, if the search term
should be the first in a line.

You do not need to rename any paragraph tags.

Best regards

Winfried

RE: Accidental Change All (am I alone?)

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

Yes. I encountered this as well. Maybe once every two years.
If the Change All was executed only in the open files, then I
closed all files without saving. Then I continued with the last
saved version.
If the Change All was executed in a book also on files which
had not been opened before, I changed the file extension backup.fm
to fm.

I encounter this issue so rarely that I would not remove the
shortcut. I also do not want any dialog which asks whether
the Change All may be executed.

RE: Frame vs. Flare for My Needs

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

In my company there are also discussions to choose
MadCap Flare as a common authoring tool.
I see different requirements among us. Some need
HTML or CHM, others only PDF.
The arguments from MadCap Flare users here are:
o Less bugs.
o Better conversion to CHM and HTML.
o Better support.
(I do not know if all these are also valid for FM 12 or upcoming FM 13!)

Can those who use or used Flare comment on these?
Are these arguments valid?

What other experiences do you have?
Which features do you miss?
I see that Flare does not allow text on top of graphics.
I could not find out whether you can enter simple tabs.
I have problems adjusting table column widths.
I have even problems to zoom in when I have the print layout selected.
Flare does not support separate DTDs.

Best regards

Winfried

Subject: Frame vs. Flare for My Needs

Hi,

I could use the advice of some Frame veterans on whether a switch from Frame to 
Flare might be a delusion-inspired wrong turn for me, or possibly the right way 
to go.

My company's primary documentation output is PDF user/training/reference guides 
authored on FrameMaker 7. Not the current Frame version, I know, but sufficient 
with our good templates to produce solid, professional-looking documents we're 
proud of. Other current deliverables include context-sensitive HTML topics 
produced via Mif2go and a limited number of Process Assistance MS Word 
topics.  These latter are a sort of MS-Word help equivalent that our customers 
can download from our application, edit if necessary, and even upload back into 
our application for others if they want to. I create Process Assistance MS-Word 
topics by cutting from Frame and pasting into Word, followed by manual 
reformatting (ouch).

Our customers (utilities) have been requesting another MS Word output:  
Editable MS Word versions of our 20-300 page PDF manuals so that they can edit 
them for their own purposes (such as internal training).  Unfortunately, we've 
been unable to find a workable Frame-to-Word conversion process to this end.  I 
can do manual reformatting to Word in our short Process Assistance topics, but 
to do it on entire manuals would give me a nervous breakdown.

So, with better MS-Word output generation as my primary goal, I've been 
considering a switch to Flare. Its capability to output in PDF, Word, and HTML 
seems as though it might ultimately streamline our processes. As I test Flare 
by my 30-day trial, though, I'm reminded of the many things FrameMaker does 
really well - things I might be losing if I made the switch:  For example, 
precise page layouts, complex graphics, robust tables. To its credit, Flare 
seems to offer output versatility, excellent documentation and support, and a 
lot of Marketing momentum.

Am I misguiding myself?  Barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks for any opinions or comments.

RE: Conditional text by paragraph tag?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Fred,

I really prefer FrameMaker's backup mechanism as it is.
Every some months I notice that I saved something (and closed
the file) and then I noticed that the last change was not correct.
Then I can take the backup without these last changes.
Other applications do the same, e.g. CorelDesigner/CorelDraw.
Therefore that's a common approach.

If you want a copy when you save a file, then you might do this
via FrameScript or ExtendScript. Similar scripts had been discussed
several times on the framescript-users mailing list.
You might log a feature request here:

No, in fact I *don't* let FrameMaker generate .backup.fm files because they 
aren't really backups. They are just renamed versions of the *previous* saved 
version of the file.

Say you open a document FileA.fm. You make a whole slew of changes, and then do 
a Save. You figure that the newly saved FileA.fm is identical to 
FileA.backup.fm because you had FrameMaker make a backup upon saving, right. 
Wrong. FileA.backup.fm is the *original* file that you opened, *before* you 
made any changes to it. The backup is always one set of changes behind the 
content that a real backup would have in it. (And since Frame won't even let 
you do a Save unless you've changed *something*, the current saved version and 
the backup can *never* be identical.) So rolling back to the automatic 
backup will actually lose you the last set of changes that were in your last 
save.

RE: FM 10 sometimes changes graphics paths

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

I think this is a bug!
Steps:
Copy a file with a referenced graphics into another folder. The graphics path 
might be .\graphics\test.eps
Open the first file.
Then open the copied file. It will show the referenced graphics although it 
should complaint that the graphics file could not be found in .\graphics.
Obviously FrameMaker calculates for the copied file the graphics path to the 
graphics file the first file.

That part of detecting the absolute file location is easy. After a program 
accessing a file (through all the relative references), determining the 
absolute location of a file is trivial in code.

The truncation mentioned by Harro is troublesome though.

Also, there is a path length limit in Windows - I thought it was 256 
characters, but may be 64 characters? And this does not explain the network 
file name issue mentioned ...

I'll look ...

Subject: FM 10 sometimes changes graphics paths


hi all,

I recently ran into an issue: we received a set of FrameMaker files for 
translation. After we sent the translated files back to the customer, they 
complained that all of the image paths in their files were changed.
They were using relative paths that had lots  of 'parent' references:
..\..\..\..\..\..\Graphics\etc

When I received these files, I placed them in a directory 4 levels deep:

F:\Customer\project\translation\incoming\blah.fm

When I opened this file Frame asked for the location of external graphics. I 
selected 'Ignore all missing files' and saved the file as MIF.
When I inspected the MIF, the graphics paths were truncated to
..\..\..\..\Graphics\etc

So the path gets truncated to the number of levels available from the current 
location.

When I store the file on an UNC path, it gets worse:
\\Server\Customer\project\translation\incoming\blah.fmfile:///\\Server\Customer\project\translation\incoming\blah.fm
graphics paths:
\\Graphics\etcfile:///\\Graphics\etc

In my opinion, this is a bug. When I select 'Ignore all missing files', Frame 
should leave the existing paths alone.

Has anyone else seen the same behavior?

RE: FM 10 sometimes changes graphics paths

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

Now I work with FrameMaker for more than 20 years,
but I had never encountered this issue.
I will not add IDs to the graphics files. At least in my (rare) cases
they would not have helped.
With IDs translation or updating to a new doc. release
would be much more work.
Instead I will take extra care when I move files.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Winfried,

yes, FrameMaker searches for missing graphics in the last successfully opened 
graphics folder (of the actual session at least). So, if you have just opened a 
first file, all missing graphics for the second file will be replaced with 
graphics for the first file if they have the same names, without checking if 
they are identical.

This can be very annoying and therefore I recommend to use unique IDs for 
graphics (including version/revision) instead of or in addition to simple names.

RE: FM 10 sometimes changes graphics paths

Hi Harro,

I observe this issue very rarely.
I do the same as you:
I copy a file with my file manager, open it,
click Ignore all missing files and then notice that the graphics
path has changed.
The path changes to the path of the original graphics files.

This happens so rarely that I do not take care.
I use FrameMaker 11.0.2.384.
I do not known whether this bug is fixed in FrameMaker 12.

However, I do not know how FrameMaker gets the path
to the orginal graphics files.
Does this happen only, if another file is open which points to
the graphics files of the copied file?
Otherwise I wonder how FrameMaker can find out where the
graphics files are located.

RE: what to back up before reinstalling

Hi Carol,

I do not know whether this changed with FrameMaker 12.
However, FrameMaker 11 has its Linguistics folder not in

AppData\LocalLow\Adobe

In the Linguistics folder there is the user dictionary which I definitely
would back up.

 Sigh. I have to reinstall Framemaker 12 on my Win7 system. Before I
 do so, I am creating a list of all of the files that I need to back
 up so that I can restore all of my customization after I reinstall.
 Here is my list so far (not including all of the add-ins and scripts
 that are unique to my installation).

 Back up the following from
 C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Framemaker\12
   Folder WorkSpaces (specifically the .cfsw and .fws files)
   Folder Linguistics
   File consfile.txt
   File maker.ini
   File pdfsize.ini

 Back up the following from C:\Program Files
 (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12
   Folder Templates
   Folder fminit
   Folder plugins
   maker.ini

 Any others? I will post the final list somewhere that will serve as a
 resource to the rest of us; I've had no luck searching for such a
 list on Adobe or by Googling.

 Two additional questions: Does anyone know if backing up the
 WorkSpaces folder REALLY allows you to retrieve your custom
 workspaces after reinstall? I vaguely remember having a problem with
 this when I upgraded to FM12. And do I need to deactivate my current
 installation before reinstalling it on the same computer?

RE: My work-flow for dealing with backups from FrameMaker sessions ... Was: RE: Best practices for converting FM to Robohelp

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

I need the backup files now and then. Sometimes (once a year)
I do something, save, close the file, and then I notice that I made
a mistake. Without the backup I could not undo the mistake.

Or very rarely FrameMaker starts to have problems with a file
after a certain operation.

Therefore I always have the automatic backup enabled!
If you think that you do not need it, you can disable it.
I think it's just an additional safety measure.

 The .backup files were essential before 7.2 added undo, but since then

Problems with Mif2Go conversion

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Bob,

Two issues:
Search across the whole C: drive for E_EMTA_Intel-552 Design Considerations.zip.
As far as I know Mif2Go may have problems with underscore characters _
See the user guide for alllowed characters.
Therefore I recommend to move the whole project some folders up (at least
temporarily; for archiving you can move them to another folder later).
I remember that my conversions failed when I used underscores in the folder 
names.

RE: Trados and FM9 : Company requests files in MIF format?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Stephen,

All translation memory systems (such as Trados) can import only
FrameMaker MIF files. Only if the translation agency offers DTP services,
they could convert binary FrameMaker files to MIF themselves.

You can export all files of a book individually. Or you can do this
with one of these solutions (there are definitely more):

Mif2Go (works also with the demo version)
http://mif2go.com/

Plugin from Cudspan
http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2012-September/026727.html
http://www.cudspan.net/plugins/

itl FrameScript
http://www.i-frame.itl.info/en/feature-description/i-frame-modules/translation-pack/convert-fm-to-mif-mif-to-fm.html


Trados does not support FrameMaker 12 yet. However, it seems that it
is supported with the next Trados update:

Hi,

(FM9, Windows 7)

I have a book of 40 files, graphics  imported by reference; no text insets.

The translation company want me to provide files in MIF format. I am surprised 
that Trados does not accept the files in .FM format. Is this normal?

I have never created MIF files before. At least, it seems like a long manual 
process. Is there a plug-in that does a complete book? I imagine the graphic 
files remain linked by reference.

Any comments are much appreciated. BTW, we plan to upgrade to FM 12 very soon. 
Would that help (not have to convert to MIF?).

Have a good day,

RE: search fo end of line

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

Please test this yourself what Jakub had reported.
Of course this is a bug.

I think this might be related to this finding.
When you press the EndOfLine button the insertion point
is directly after the last word and _before_ the space
following it.
When you enter the text of a word without the following space
at the end of a line, but not at the end of a paragraph,
and then $ and select Wildcards in the Search dialog,
then FrameMaker will find this word.
However, if you enter the word with its following space,
FrameMaker will _not_ find it although the space should be
at the end of the line as it does not appear at the beginning
of the next line.
Therefore it seems that the characters which allow a line break
(Format | Document | Text Options) cannot be found at the
end of a line with $.
And Jakub´s hyphen is one of these characters.

Best regards

Winfried

Hi Jakub,

Strange. I tested this myself. When you have a word like
your pop-up, and it starts a new line after the minus, then
the minus will not be found.
However, if you enter a space after the minus (pop- up), then
the minus character will be found.

RE: making stuff unconditional in FM12

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

I fully agree with Mike. I use FrameMaker since version 3,
and I use many of the shortcuts. I really prefer the new GUI
to the old one.

Regarding making text unconditional in FrameMaker 12:
It's difficult. When you want to _change_ the condition state
you want to set it to On or Off.
However, if you have a few conditions and started to change
something, and then you notice that you should not change
one of the conditions, then you you should be able to set it
to As Is. However, this As Is state is really confusing.
I tested FrameMaker 12 in my virtual machine, and when I clicked
on the On/As Is/Off check box, the check box got hidden
(my virtual machine's fault), and I did not notice that it changed
to As Is instead of Off. I did not understand why nothing
happened when I clicked Apply ...

Generally I think that the check boxes are better than the radio
buttons in FrameMaker 11.

Actually, I've not even participated in beta testing of FM and have been

And the new interface, in my opinion, is a big improvement over the old FM 7 
interface. I like it so much better. And you can customize your workspaces. You 
may want to check out this video for an overview of using the new interface (as 
of FM 9). I found it very helpful in making the switch way back then:

RE: Annotating text in a cross-ref in a PDF

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Carol,

With no commenting tool selected, I can strike through text in the
middle of a cross-reference.

When I move the cursor over a cross-reference, then the cursor
changes to the hand cursor. Then I press the left mouse button
and move the i-beam across part of the cross-reference. The text
gets selected. This also works inside of cross-reference text. Then I
press the Strikethrough symbol to apply this comment type.

However, I agree that I cannot press the Strikethrough symbol
and then select part of the cross-reference text.

You know that you can change your selected text when you press
the SHIFT key and the Left/Right arrow keys!

 Thanks for trying, Winfried. Unfortunately, text in the middle of the
 cross-reference isn't annotatable. The I-beam cursor starts
 red-lining wherever it is placed and the user can't segregate just
 the text that they want to annotate from the surrounding text in the
 cross-reference.

 I think that either identifying the revision in a balloon or
 encircling it with an added explanation is the only option. Since
 cross-references exist on a layer above the text, I was hoping there
 was a nifty way to drill down below the cross-ref layer to get at
 the text. Worse case, I could teach my reviewers how to delete all
 cross-refs in the document, but that is too complex and also defeats
 the purpose of checking to ensure the cross-refs go to where they should.

 I'll add it to my list of feature requests.

 I'm generating PDFs out of Frame 11 and opening them in Acrobat 11
 Pro in a Windows environment. I've discovered that the text in
 cross-references created in Framemaker cannot be annotated in Acrobat
 using the Strikethrough Text tool or the Insert Text at Cursor tool,
 and probably other tools as well. Because the text is a
 cross-reference, the user sees a hand cursor rather than a cross-hair
 or I-beam and is thus unable to annotate the text.

 I've tried various combinations of holding the Control, Shift, and
 Alt keys down, but the hand cursor persists. Does anyone know a trick
 to force Acrobat to ignore the fact that text is a cross-reference
 and allow users to annotate the text?

RE: Turkish Font Issue

Hi,

If the characters are displayed correctly in the FrameMaker file
but not in the PDF, then that's strange. Both of your fonts have
the special Turkish characters. Which characters do not print?
What happens, when you create a brandnew file and just enter
these characters and then create a PDF?
You print to a PostScript file and convert this to a PDF with the
Distiller, don't you?
Do you have the Generate Acrobat Data option checked?
What happens when you Save As PDF with the RGB or CMYK
option selected? (This option is in the PDF setup.)
What happens when you just export to text or RTF?

Happy Friday!

My team is using FrameMaker 11 to build our international manuals.

This problem occurs on two of the workstations:
When using Adobe Distiller to print a Turkish-language file to a PDF we have 
font errors where certain characters do not distill correctly and appear as 
boxes. The fonts used in the FrameMaker file are Arial and Arial Unicode and 
they display correctly in the Frame file. We get no error messages in the 
Distiller log files.

Two other workstations distill the file without issue. The font set from the 
working stations has been copied to the non-working stations but does not make 
a difference.

We've tried printing using the Adobe PDF printer and unchecking the Rely on 
system fonts only; do not use document fonts box with no success.

All other 16 languages distill without issue.

Any clues are appreciated.

Cheers,
Alan

RE: Generating web pages out of FM

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

I also recommend to test the trial version yourself.

I installed it in a virtual machine so that nothing else will be affected.
When I tested the conversion to HTML Help briefly with the default
settings, it worked very well! Very fast. Very convenient! Seamless,
no issues. Many options to configure your conversion.
However, that’s for our documentation. I do not know how yours look
like.

Mif2Go has some options which FrameMaker 12 does not offer
and vice versa. They are different. If you miss anything in FrameMaker 12,
then check out Mif2Go, I will continue using Mif2Go, mainly because I do
not want to configure the FrameMaker conversion.

RE: Cannot insert the infinity symbol and other special character problems

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

Just for your information: The Windows Character Map tool
may show characters, even if they are not part of the font!
Therefore it could always happen that you try to copy and paste
a certain character although it is not part of your font!

Alternatives are.

BabelMap, free and not very user-friendly. No installation necessary.
You can start the exe which you download.
http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html

PopChars, often recommended, not free (30 Euros)

Fei Min,
I'm on Frame 8, so I have no solutions for Frame 10, but have you tried using 
Windows Character Map (under ProgramsAccessoriesSystem 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 Word...

holding down Alt while I pressed +221e, and all I got was the Edit menu. I 
can’t find a keyboard shortcut for it. I resorted to getting the symbol in Word

to do? Or do I have to create an equation and insert the symbol?

My colleague is also working in FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7 and she can’t use 
the keyboard shortcuts (such as ctrl-q shift-8 to get a TM symbol). She gets 
other characters instead. She’s resorted to copying and pasting from Word, and 
those all work except for the infinity symbol. All the information I’ve found 
on the internet has been for FrameMaker 7 or older. Can anyone tell me what to 
do for FrameMaker 10?

Update for FrameMaker 12

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

There is already an update for FrameMaker 12 which fixes
some bugs:

1. Generating a list or an index of references (imported graphics) results in a 
blank file.
(Ref#: 3703081)
2. The Search and Replace feature causes any replaced text to be formatted in 
Times New
Roman with size as 12pt Default. This is irrespective of font and font-size of 
the
replaced text.
(Ref#: 3703070)
3. Accessing WebHelp locally (not accessing the help via a Web Server) from 
Chrome on
Mac does not show TOC  search.
(Ref#: 3703173)
4. When a Glossary / Glossaryterm is not present in the first .fm file of a 
book, the Glossary
popup feature does not work for any of the .fm files in the book.
(Ref#: 3703172)
5. When a window-intensive application like the Lotus Notes is open, then 
FrameMaker
takes long time to open Publish pod or the workspace containing Publish pod.
(Ref#: 3703168)
6. FrameMaker crashes on printing a book in unstructured mode.
(Ref#: 3703064)

Best regards

Winfried

RE: ToC, Index hyperlink in FM 11 issue

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Rob,

Can you explain in more detail what you do and what happens?
For me it's not clear what you mean with click on a generated
list. Do you click on a generated file in the book file? Or are your
generated files opened and you click on a paragraph?
You know that you have to press CTRL + ALT and then click on a
paragraph in the TOC to jump to the target paragraph.

MIF wash is always a good idea! You can download the Mif2Go demo
and use this feature. (MIF wash is not restricted.) As far as I remember
there is also a free ExtendScript script which you could use.

Best regards

Winfried

 Dear Framers:
 My ToC, lists and indexes are all creating excellent clickable pdfs, but in
 the native FM11 (fully updated) I cannot click on a generated list without
 getting a long message accompanied by a loud bell. In short, the FM link
 does not work. The book file is taking its time to generate (create

RE: FrameMaker freaks me out

Hi Steve,

Fortunately I never experienced something like this.
What I would do immediately before closing files or
FrameMaker: Copy the whole folder to a temp folder.
If FrameMaker does not work correctly, it could also
damage the files when closing.

 At some point while editing yesterday, and I'm not sure what I was doing,
 *every chapter* in the book I'm working on started displaying all its text as 
 if
 someone had picked it up and randomly scattered it across the page -
 complete loss of vertical leading, and sideways shifts as well. It was clearly
 something internal to FrameMaker's display engine, as opening unopened
 chapters showed the same thing.

 After nearly having a coronary, I closed down FrameMaker and then re--
 opened the book, and everything then looked fine, and has remained fine.

 I've never seen anything like this before, and it's probably shortened my life
 expectancy somewhat. Anyone else experienced this?

RE: OT: Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader on same client

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

I also follow Dov's advice not to install Adobe Reader
and Acrobat on the same PC. And I also recommend to
use a virtual machine, if you really think you need Adobe
Reader.

Syed, Dov warned not only in 2004 but also in the last years.
Therefore this is not related only to outdated software but
to our current versions. The latest comments are from 2011:
http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2011-February/022324.html
Admittedly this warning was not as strong as in the years before.

In previous e-mails Dov also recommended to test on an old
system with only few fonts and little power. And do not forget
to test also other PDF viewers. And specifically also on Mac.

Best regards

Here are some quotes from Dov Isaacs of Adobe, one of our patron saints around 
here:

  Although you CAN have both Reader and Acrobat installed simultaneously 
  (assuming the same version), it is very strongly NOT RECOMMENDED for a 
  number of very good reasons. It certainly does not add any functionality to 
  one's system...
 
 
- Dov 

Here's a link explaining some reasons why:
http://www.mail-archive.com/pdf@lists.pdfzone.com/msg03152.html

  I am sure we will get the inevitable responses from members of this list 
  that boast about how they have multiple versions and/or mixtures of Acrobat 
  and Reader concurrently installed and somehow get some or most of the 
  functionality to work for them. On the other hand, there are a tremendous 
  number of problems reported to Adobe that are suddenly cleared up when the 
  user's systems are scraped of all concurrent versions of Acrobat and Reader, 
  replaced by a single version of one or another. (Note that by Acrobat I 
  mean any and all pieces of it including the Distiller, the AdobePDF 
  PostScript printer driver instance, and the viewing program!)

  But, some list members will complain, how do I know what the recipients of 
  my PDF file will see on their systems if I also don't have a copy of Reader 
  installed, or perhaps multiple versions of Reader and Acrobat installed? The 
  response to that is to have test systems (or separate test partitions of 
  your one system) that have minimal software installations (especially fonts) 
  and a copy of the target version of Adobe Reader. That is the only way to 
  truly simulate the user experience. For that matter, old, slower systems are 
  even more appropriate!

  - Dov   

I got the above results using Dov Isaacs Reader Acrobat on same computer as a 
search term on Google. There are more results.

I think the bottom line is that putting Reader and Acrobat on the same computer 
is not wise, but if you risk it, make sure both are the same version. You would 
be better off to set up a Windows Virtual PC with only default operating system 
and fonts if you feel the need to test a Reader view. Even then, which version 
of Reader will you test? Users use different ones. And don't forget to embed 
all fonts.

RE: SOLVED! Was RE: Changing conditional text settings crashes Frame

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Anita,

Thank you very much for this description. I also encounter
this crash now and then. Next time I will test your solution.

You say that FrameMaker did not know how to interpret
an end of flow symbol in a hidden cell. However, if I do not
apply any condition to text in table rows which are hidden,
then I _always_ have this end of flow symbol.

When I send FrameMaker files to translation, translation memory
systems import and present text in hidden table rows. Therefore
I apply a condition not only to a table row but also to the text in
the table row.

Best regards

Winfried

Subject: SOLVED! Was RE: Changing conditional text settings crashes Frame

Thanks to everyone who jumped in to help.  Besides fixing my file, I learned a 
ton!

The problem turned out to be caused by a table whose conditional text settings 
were “funny” (Gary’s word). Meaning:

• The table anchor was unconditional.
• Several table rows had a condition applied.
• Some text inside conditional table cells also had the same condition as the 
row applied.  However, the end-of-flow symbols in some of these dual-condition 
cells were unconditional.  (Don’t ask why I set the table up this way.  It made 
sense at the time.)

It seems that Frame didn’t know what to do with an end-of-cell symbol that has 
no cell in which to live—as happened when I hid the condition. That’s actually 
kind of reasonable, although Frame could handle it more gracefully than 
crashing.  (Apparently this has been a known bug at least since version 7.  
Adobe folks?)

When I cleaned up the table to use conditions only on text (not table rows or 
cells), everything worked fine.

Also, thanks to Stuart for pointing me to the MIF Reference. The MIF equivalent 
of “don’t Show Condition Indicators” is this line in the Document statement.
DDisplayOverrides No
Not the most intuitive term for it, but there you have it.

Thanks all!

RE: FrameMaker 9: Table Alighment

Hi Brenda,

Instead of a table with many rows, you could also
use a table with just a single cell. Move all your text
inside this table. The paragraph format should have
Cell Vertical Alignment set to Bottom.
Then set a tab stop so that you can left align your values.
Or do not use any tabs, e.g.:
Prepared By: X
Prepared For: X
Task No.: X

Then your text will be aligned to the bottom.

We are currently looking at whether to move our tech doc team from Frame 9 to

I've looked in my archive and can't find the threads that discussed this. Can

Subject: Frame 11 (UNstructured Features)

Sometime last year when Frame 11 came out, there were any number of e-mails 
that dealt with (or had links to) what was new in the product.

We are currently looking at whether to move our tech doc team from Frame 9 to 
Frame 11 - given that when Frame 12 comes out, we'd have to buy completely new 
copies rather than go the update route.

I've looked in my archive and can't find the threads that discussed this. Can 
anyone point me in the right direction?

Note that I am interested in details regarding unstructured Frame. I also 
realize that there are any number of changes from Frame 10 that may be useful 
to us as well.

RE: Frame 11 (UNstructured Features)

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Craig,

On the tekom/tcworld conference in Wiesbaden/Germany
Kapil Verna presented FrameMaker 12. I do not know when it
will come out, but it might be worth waiting a few months.

Featues for FrameMaker 12 which I remember:
Native export to epub, HTML 5
Much improved export to PDF for proofreading and import of comments
Grep for search and replace
Lots of fixed bugs
Improved assignment of conditional formats
Editor for show/hide expresssions with brackets
FM server to publish PDF as web service
Two FrameMaker variants: FM Full (as we know it)/XML Author (only for XML 
authoring)
MathML support

RE: Script to convert tables to paragraphs

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

Now and then I use AutoHotkey. Also very easy to use.
However, in FrameMaker I prefer FrameScript. More control
what will be done. (I am not a programmer.)
Some time I will explore ExtendScript. I'll see.

 Unusable is a subjective term. To a programer it may be useful. But to
 non-programmers who dabble in programing (like me and many others), an
 easy programming language like AutoIt is lots of fun and very useful,
 but a complicated, object-oriented program language that is not well
 documented is pretty close to unusable.

FM9 files on network - logical network drive X:

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

I just assigned X: to one of my network folders,
created a new file there and imported a graphics file.
No problem. Everything as it should be (FrameMaker
11 on Windows 7).

When your graphics file is on the same network drive,
the path should be relative. That means, X: is not
mentioned in the path name. Did you check the MIF
file whether your path contains any X?
Did you create a local file and import a graphics file
from X:? Vice versa? What happens?
What happens, if you assign another drive letter to
one of your folders on X: and create a FrameMaker
file there? Import a graphics file from this folder?
All sorts of things may happen. However, I would also
tend to believe that this is not related to the drive letter
X:.

Subject: FM9 files on network - logical network drive X:

Hi,

(Windows7, FM9)

The server (ex. \\Server) that houses our FM files is 
assigned a logical drive X:. I believe this has something to do with protecting 
against viruses. FM does not like this.

For example, when an image is imported into a FM document using the X: path, 
the image blinks in the FM document, as if FM continually updates the 
definition of X: and the image path becomes momentarily unknown and then 
becomes known (and so the blinking where the image is displayed and then 
appears in gray and so on).

Now I realize that some cross-references to other FM documents contain X: in 
the target document path.  FM does not like that either. May crash because of 
this.

Our IT guy says that the X: cannot be removed (same profile for all). My team 
of tech writers usually uses a shortcut (defined correctly from 
\\Server) to open books/documents but someone always forgets. 
I now have scripts that check the path for x-refs and images imported by 
reference.

Does anyone know if this problem exists in later versions of FM (10 or 11)? 
That would solve this problem once and for all.

Many thanks,

RE: variables interface

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Craig,

If you leave the Add/Edit Variable window open, you just need
to double-click on a variable. Then you can change its definition
immediately without clicking on Edit first.

However, if the Add/Edit Variable window is not on top of its
tab group, it is not shown automatically (like e.g. the Cross-Reference
window). Then you must click on the Add/Edit Variable tab to bring
it to front. This would be a very good enhancement!

RE: How to Delete Conditional Text Markers from a Book

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

These markers appear only, if you hide conditional text.
The marker is a way for FrameMaker to remember where
the hidden conditional text must be placed.

If you delete the marker, the conditional text cannot be
shown again. I admit I do not know, if the text is still there
in the file or whether it will be deleted together with the
marker. This can possibly be clarified when examining the
MIF file.

You can delete such a marker easily, if you search for Marker
of Type and enter Conditional Text. Change by nothing.

Better: Show all conditions and search for a specific
condition and replace by nothing.
Or delete a condition with/without all text.

Best regards

Subject: How to Delete Conditional Text Markers from a Book

Hi, everybody.

Is there an easy way to delete unused conditional text markers from a

How to Delete Conditional Text Markers from a Book

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

These markers appear only, if you hide conditional text.
The marker is a way for FrameMaker to remember where
the hidden conditional text must be placed.

If you delete the marker, the conditional text cannot be
shown again. I admit I do not know, if the text is still there
in the file or whether it will be deleted together with the
marker. This can possibly be clarified when examining the
MIF file.

You can delete such a marker easily, if you search for "Marker
of Type" and enter "Conditional Text". Change by nothing.

Better: Show all conditions and search for a specific
condition and replace by nothing.
Or delete a condition with/without all text.

Best regards

Winfried

RE: How to purge unwanted fonts from Reference Pages?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi David,

In FrameMaker 11 you can open the Fonts pod (via the View menu).
Then select the font which you have problems with and click on the
Replace icon. Select a font which you want to use instead.

Best regards

Subject: How to purge unwanted fonts from Reference Pages?

Folks,
I am maintaining an old legacy document that's giving me grief at the moment.
(I'm using Frame11 - I think the document was created years ago on - gasp - an 
Apple Mac).

PDF creation is failing, because I've told it to cancel the job if font 
embedding fails, and there's fonts referenced in the doc that aren't available 
on my system.

It is a real sneaky one, because even if I turn *off* remember missing font 
names, open the doc, save, close the fonts are still there!
Turns out they're not used in any paragraph or character style in Body page 
text flow ... nor embedded in any EPS graphic...
I've tracked them down to the *reference* pages.
There's a whole bunch of mapping tables and other gubbins on there (I'm not 
entirely sure what they're for!), but the text in them all is Times Roman.

I've solved things like this in the past by saving as MIF, opening in WordPad, 
and manually changing the font names,
but this doesn't seem feasible here, partly because there's dozens of instances 
of the name in the MIF, and also because the name of the font and font family 
and big long strings (2 or 3 different ones) so it's not so easy to just 
globally find and replace them.

Any tips for dealing with this?
Is there any command in the Frame GUI than I'm missing that could clear this up?
The best solution I have at the moment is going into each chapter file's 
reference pages (there's about 10 in each) and selecting all this Time Roman 
text and manually setting it to a different font - but even that seems rather 
cumbersome.

cheers
David

RE: FM 8: Xref markers keep breaking and re-breaking

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Elchanan,

If FrameMaker cannot open the target file, this may cause
unresolved cross-references.
Could it be that you have a file in the book which is closed
and which triggers error messages when opened (e.g. missing
fonts).

Does it make a difference, if you open all files of the book?

Best regards

I put xref markers in throughout a book. These markers are simple xrefs to

Has anyone else encountered something like this?

I noticed this with FrameMaker 10 and now also with

MIF washing fixes this issue. However, not for long ...

The page may look correct in Framemaker, but on export to Postscript, it

RE: [FrameMaker ] Text skipping from right to left column

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Bödvar,

This is not only a fault, this is a nasty bug.
Or how do you name it, if some lines from the end
of the _second_ column are moved to the end of the
_first_ column.
Column 1 is filled with text, then column 2, and at the
end of column 1 you have some lines out of any context.
These lines are moved from the end of column 2.

Yes. Balance Columns is activated. But that's what I want to keep.
The orphan/widow setting should not cause such a strange effect.

I had responded to a post on the Adobe forum, but accidentally
not on the Adobe forum but to this mailing list.

This is not some fault, this only shows that you have set the columns to 
balance (probably the default). Uncheck and the left column will fill before 
anything is added to the right (or next) column, and then it will stay filled.

Also notice that the balancing is also governed by the settings of the settings 
of orphan/widow settings of the paragraphs.

RE: [FrameMaker ] Text skipping from right to left column

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Bödvar,

I do not encounter this bug every week. Only now and then.
My feeling is that this bug turns up only in some documents
on certain pages and there again and again. I work in the
structured interface although my files are not structured.
The files can be rather small (only a few pages) up to 100 pages.
Therefore I doubt whether memory is involved. (My PC has 4 GB.)
And my files reside on our network (which did not cause any problems
yet).

I will check all this when I notice this issue again.

Best regards

Sorry, I didn't realize. (Slapping my mouth! No, fingers!) Never saw this in my 
FM 7, 7.2 or 10.

Can this have anything to do with sloppy memory (not mine! the computer's)? Any 
havy graphics? Structured mode (returns less memory back, I understand)? I have 
seen the strangest things happen when the computer is losing control of its 
memory.

I have a problem where sometimes if I'm working on a document with two columns

bottom of the right column skips to the left. Has anyone else had this problem?



The page may look correct in Framemaker, but on export to Postscript, it 
happens, and sometimes it can be incredibly hard to notice before sending the 
file to the client.



Hope someone can shed some light on this :)

[FrameMaker ] Text skipping from right to left column

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi B?dvar,

This is not only a fault, this is a nasty bug.
Or how do you name it, if some lines from the end
of the _second_ column are moved to the end of the
_first_ column.
Column 1 is filled with text, then column 2, and at the
end of column 1 you have some lines out of any context.
These lines are moved from the end of column 2.

Yes. Balance Columns is activated. But that's what I want to keep.
The orphan/widow setting should not cause such a strange effect.

I had responded to a post on the Adobe forum, but accidentally
not on the Adobe forum but to this mailing list.

Best regards

Winfried

This is not some fault, this only shows that you have set the columns to 
balance (probably the default). Uncheck and the left column will fill before 
anything is added to the right (or next) column, and then it will stay filled.

Also notice that the balancing is also governed by the settings of the settings 
of orphan/widow settings of the paragraphs.

[FrameMaker ] Text skipping from right to left column

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi B?dvar,

I do not encounter this bug every week. Only now and then.
My feeling is that this bug turns up only in some documents
on certain pages and there again and again. I work in the
structured interface although my files are not structured.
The files can be rather small (only a few pages) up to 100 pages.
Therefore I doubt whether memory is involved. (My PC has 4 GB.)
And my files reside on our network (which did not cause any problems
yet).

I will check all this when I notice this issue again.

Best regards

Winfried

Sorry, I didn't realize. (Slapping my mouth! No, fingers!) Never saw this in my 
FM 7, 7.2 or 10.

Can this have anything to do with sloppy memory (not mine! the computer's)? Any 
havy graphics? Structured mode (returns less memory back, I understand)? I have 
seen the strangest things happen when the computer is losing control of its 
memory.

RE: mapping table mystery--or is it misery?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

 Actually, copy/paste from Word can cause even more mischief.
 I never paste directly from Word into Maker -- I always paste
 into a text editor to clean the stuff out, and then copy/paste that
  into my document.  Why???

I use PureText to paste only the text content:

http://stevemiller.net/puretext/

There are also other solutions out there, e.g. an AutoHotkey script:

^+v::
; Convert any copied files, HTML, or other formatted text to plain text
Clipboard = %Clipboard%

; Paste by pressing Ctrl+V
SendInput, ^v
return

There are many variants, discussed e.g. here:
http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/10412-paste-plain-text-and-copycut/

RE: Inserting inline graphics

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Alastair,

I also think that icons are far better than just the tooltip text.
Of course this depends always on your audience ...

Why don't you do it this way?
Copy the new icon.
Place the cursor where you want it to have.
Paste the graphic there (CTRL + V).
Press ESC m p (which will shrinkwrap the anchored frame
to the size of your icon; additonally the anchoring position
is set to At Insertion Point). Press these keys one after
the other.

If the icon should be moved up or down, then you have to
select the anchored frame and change the Distance above Baseline.
Create an object style with the correct distance and save it.
Then you can apply this setting with a mouse click.

Or do you have other settings of your anchored frame?
After all these e-mails I do not know your actual settings.

Best regards

Winfried

 I'm using something like your suggested workflow.

 The downside of it is that pasting into the pre-formatted frame doesn't work
 well. Even if the scratch icon bitmap is selected, pasting doesn't replace it.
 Selecting the frame and pasting results in the bitmap appearing in the centre
 of the page. It has to be manually dragged from there to the frame.

 Just documenting the tooltip text is a huge failure in usability for the end
 user.

 Extracting the icons from the plug-in source should not be difficult, they're
 usually all in one directory.

 Assuming the icons are all the same size, in a separate .fm file create one
 frame with one scratch icon bitmap with all the settings as you want them.
 Copy and paste that into your main document, copy your new icon bitmap,
 select the scratch icon bitmap, and paste.

 I think that's the fastest workflow you'll get unless maybe you wrote a
 FrameScript macro.

 To me it seems like a huge waste of time. I'd just document the tooltip text.

Resizing main text frame, was: Framemaker 8, Windows 8.1 and click-and-drag

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Dave,

I also noticed that FrameMaker crashed sometimes when
I resize a frame down to the bottom. In my case it was the
main text frame on a body page. Windows 7 Enterprise,
FrameMaker 8, 10, 11.

I did not test yet, whether it happened less often when I drag the
frame slowly. I noticed it less often with FrameMaker 11 (now maybe
once a month). My assumption was that there are problems with
certain files. MIF washing did not help.

Best regards

Hi Lea and Rick

Does it depend on how quickly you drag the cursor across the text? I'm using 
Frame 8 on Win 7 and I've had a few crashes when resizing an anchored frame 
down the page. I can't prove it, but I feel it might be to do with how quickly 
I drag the frame handle. So, if I now have to make an anchored frame a lot 
bigger, and drag the handle a long way down the page, I do it slowly. Seems to 
have worked so far.

Hi all,

I crossed my fingers that FM8 and Win8 would play together reasonably nicely. 
It's almost fine except for the above-referenced action: click-and-drag to 
highlight. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, FM freezes irreparably. 
I have to force it closed, and the autosave may or may not survive. Argh. I use 
click-and-drag much more often than I realized, and it's pretty much a 
dealbreaker.

I'm posting less asking for help and more as a warning for my fellow FM8 
holdouts. I suspect that I'm going to end up using Remote Desktop to run my 
Win7 machine on which FM8 worked fine. Do not go unto Win8.1 with old 
Framemaker; there be monsters.

Subject: Framemaker 8, Windows 8.1 and click-and-drag

Hi all,

I crossed my fingers that FM8 and Win8 would play together reasonably nicely. 
It's almost fine except for the above-referenced action: click-and-drag to 
highlight. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, FM freezes irreparably. 
I have to force it closed, and the autosave may or may not survive. Argh. I use 
click-and-drag much more often than I realized, and it's pretty much a 
dealbreaker.

I'm posting less asking for help and more as a warning for my fellow FM8 
holdouts. I suspect that I'm going to end up using Remote Desktop to run my 
Win7 machine on which FM8 worked fine. Do not go unto Win8.1 with old 
Framemaker; there be monsters.

Adobe announces next FrameMaker release, keeps licensing model

Hi,

Here Adobe's licensing plans had been discussed lively.
Now Adobe announced the next FrameMaker release for 2014.
They also want to keep their current licensing model.

Best regards

Winfried

http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2013/09/adobe-technical-communication-products-next-release-plan.html

Firstly, next version of Tech communications products will continue to have 
perpetual licensing. This includes all our products - FrameMaker, RoboHelp, 
Technical Communication Suite, FrameMaker Publishing Server and RoboHelp Server.

Secondly, we plan to offer subscription as an additional option for our 
products, in addition to the perpetual licensing, so that our customers can 
choose the licensing option that works best for them.

Lastly, we continue to make significant investments into our products and the 
team is working hard on delivering a phenomenal release. We all are really 
excited about the upcoming release of point products as well as Technical 
Communication Suite and expect it to be out in 2014.

RE: Adobe Tech Comm Content Strategy and Tools Survey

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Alan,

In the paragraph above it says:

We will be announcing the winners during the week of 7th October 2013. The 
Winners will be notified by email. If a potential Winner cannot be contacted, 
is contacted and does not respond as directed within the time allotted 
following attempted notification, refuses the prize or is ineligible to accept 
the prize, or if the attempted prize notification is returned as undeliverable, 
the prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate Winner to be chosen by 
another random draw.

So the winners are contacted.

Best regards

Winfried

How to remove invisible imported graphic?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Karen,

As you have FrameMaker 11 you can also just open the Insets Pod
and then click on the image file and then click the dustbin icon to delete it.
You do not need to make the detour via a generated list of references.

RE: Adjust paste to be paste/special

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Theresa,

You can add an entry to your own maker.ini file. (With FrameMaker 11
it's here: c:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\11\maker.ini)

Copy the entry from the maker.ini in the FrameMaker installation directory:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\maker.ini

The entry which you should copy is:
ClipboardFormatsPriorities=FILE, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, EMF,  DIB, BMP, 
UNICODE TEXT, TEXT
Change it so that UNICODE TEXT is at the beginning
of the list.


You could also use tools like PureText to paste always as text:
http://stevemiller.net/puretext/


Or you could use an AutoHotkey script like this one:
AutoHotkey script to reomve formatting when pasting.

RE: The Problem with Long Titles in Generated Lists

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

As suggested you need to add an additional tab before the page number
on the reference page. Then the page number in the second line will appear
right justified again.

However, it might happen that the text in the first line extends into the
page number area. Some weeks ago I got a solution to correct this:
In the paragraph designer in the Advanced tab change the
minimum value of the word spacing to something which is higher
than the max value. I use 200 % Minimum and 125 % Maximum.
This way the line breaks before a word extends into the area of the
page numbers.

Best regards

I'm sure you've all had the problem with TOCs, LOTs, LOFs, and even indexes. 
When the title reaches the end of the line (or too many index entries), the tab 
character that should position the page number at right aligned tab doesn't 
work, and the page number appears left justified on the second line with or 
without continued text. I've always gone through and manually fixed the issue 
by inserting soft returns after the lists are generated, but I have a client 
with a huge document and LOTs and LOFs that are 20 pages each. Has anyone 
figured out an automated way to fix this problem? My experiments haven't turned 
up a solution.

Also, since I'm sure this isn't the first time someone has asked this question, 
I wanted to search old posts and the archives. I can't figure out how to do 
that other than looking at each month manually. Is there a search tool
