Subject: disappearing numbers from PDF graphics

[Rita Muller]

Hi Orly,

Sometimes Frame doesn't handle text, fonts, and
numbers placed inside a graphic from Corel, PS, or any
graphics program. Here are a couple of things I've
tried in this instance. 

1.) Import the graphic into Frame, then add the
numbers in a text box. This solution depends on where
you need the numbers placed. Best is if #'s surround
the graphics. 

2.) Check the Font size in Corel and make it larger
then you want. Reimport then check the PDF for the
numbers.

HTH,

Rita

RE: FrameMaker Evangelist

[Rita Muller]

Hi RJ,

Agreeing with the group here, it's great to have you! I attended the Help
Authoring Seminar in Orlando in '02 when you introduced the first version of
RH4FM.  Never got to try it due to a software purchasing freeze right after
I returned from the seminar, (h?) but enjoyed the presentation very
much.

I must say that I'm delighted Adobe is finally showing care for a terrific
product that certainly deserves attention.

Best of luck in the new gig,

That mouse wheel question, AGAIN!

[Rita Muller]

Hi Group,

Just got a new Dell Dimension 5150 at work. Running Win XP with FM 7.0p579,
and using an Wacom Intuos2 Graphics tablet, pen tool, and mouse.

Has anyone out there found a driver that can make the mouse wheel work with
Frame, with the above, or a similar combination of hardware? If so, could
you be so kind and post a link to that driver.

Such an annoying little nusance problem.

Thanks,

Rita

RE: Bullet points

[Rita Muller]

Hi Sonia,

A wise, wise teacher once said to me, the only stupid question is the one
that doesn't get asked. ;-)

You've gotten great advice so far on your question, and I'd like to add my
two cents method if I may. If you are at all familiar with a graphics
program like Photoshop, you can make a bullet point exactly as you'd like,
then save it in whatever extension you use for your screen captures. That
way you can import your custom made bullet point from FileImport over and
over again, and shrinkwrap where you'd like. IMHO, this is the fast and easy
way, and I've had excellent results with it.

To Grant and Roger, thanks so much for your input guys. I've copied both to
my personal FrameMaker tip sheet.

Hi Guys,

Another potentially stupid question but here it goes anyway.

Is there a way of completely customise bullet points in FrameMaker to
the extent of making the actual bullet (but not the text that follows)
larger and also to widen the distance between bullet and text that
follows?

Many thanks again

Kind regards

Sonia

RE: Frame vs. Quicksilver - Please help me save Frame

[Rita Muller]

Hi Paul,

I just googled Quicksilver publishing software on Mac OS X. There are tons
of articles, but it looks like Mac has some product they labeled Quicksilver
too, which impacts the OS itself somehow. I don't think it's the former
Interleaf product being discussed, but only had time to just scan a few
articles. You'll have to wade through cyberland, and let us know what you
find out. Although I'm harnessed to PC at work and home, I'm still
interested in Mac. I learned on Mac computers ages ago while working for a
community college.

It's been ten years since I saw the Interleaf product and I can't remember
if it was running on a Mac or PC.

I remember that it supports x-refs, something 69 of Adobe's 70 products
can't do, and they update in real-time. No Update command required.

Give me FM any day over that IL/Quicksilver product. It's clunky, klugy, and
weird in more ways then one, IL that is, imho.

POLL: Which method do you use to apply bold and italics?

[Rita Muller]

I'm with Bill here, and it looks like 99% of the pollsters.

Character catalog. ALWAYS, and FOREVER.

From the beginning of FM use, I've been told by too many Framers that the
B and I buttons, or Ctrl B and Ctrl I (aka, inline styles) can really
mess you up in ways you don't ever want to know about.

So, rather then test the dreaded experience, I've avoided A like the
plague, and been successful at avoiding problems, even though I have no idea
what the problems might be.

Maybe we could start a new thread, the horrors of FM inline styles, and how
I survived the experience. ;-)

Might be fun, eh?

Bill,

You're singing to the choir dude. ;-)

I planned out a global template for the long term. It's worked well for over
four years and some 100+ manuals so far. What you describe as "The benefits"
are exactly what I'm reaping as a result. It's a beautiful thing! Certainly
worth the little bit of extra development time it took to do.

Rita Muller

>>And, it takes much less time to do this than you'd think.

The benefits? Ability to apply global template updates to all books
with no manual intervention beyond applying the template, portability
of information, and no need for custom learning of book mechanics from
one project to the next.

Text with colored background

[Rita Muller]

Is there a possibility in FM to define a character style with a background
color? Objective would be to define a character style with a grey background
to mean a button in a software to click, for instance... Like in Word when
you highlight a text in yellow... has anyone done this before in FM v7.1 on
PC?

Thanks for your expertise!

Hi David,

You've gotten some great suggestions from the group so far. Since I work
with engineers, I've used Bill Briggs' method before (adding a new equation)
and it worked well.

But, here's my favorite method. Use your graphics tool, Photoshop, PSP, etc.
and make the button in that program, save as your preferred file format, and
import the graphic. Then shrink wrap (Esc, m, p, I think) the graphic where
you want it to live on the page. Sometimes this method creates a bit of a
spacing issue, but I usually figure out some kinda work around.

Happy Holidays to all the Framers.

Such a great group of helpful folks hanging out here.
