Character formatting in run head variables

My partner is unable to figure out how enable character formatting in running heads through wither Running H/F 2 or a custom user variable. Specifically, in certain Heading 1s we use a homemade character consisting of capital R with a strikethrough bar across it. We also selectively italicize

Character formatting in run head variables

Huntley--Thanks but we know how to apply the building blocks. The challenge is finding a trick to enable a selectively applied character format, like two italic letters or R with a strikethrough, to be reproduced by the H/F 2 system variable. Or, a trick to enable using a custom variable in the

On-screen count of changes?

So--while working in FrameMaker 7.0p579 (XP) I thought that I was entering words into the Find field of the Find/Change dialog, while trying to read something elsewhere. But my fingers were hitting the wrong keys and when I looked up there was a prompt box that said something like "6 changes

On-screen count of changes?

Good guess. Fixing was no sweat with the trusty file comparison summary, which I would've used anyway. Mike > -Original Message- > From: Combs, Richard [mailto:richard.combs at Polycom.com] > Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 2:11 PM > To: Long, Michael (TH USA); framers at

FrameMaker/MSWord workflow

Jenelle, We use a FrameMaker-Word combination in a process similar to that described by someone else, and it can be fairly painless although not ideal of course. And despite the kludgy sound of it, our productivity has been steadily improving since converting from Word a few years ago. But

Disk vs memory

All, My associate and I have just discovered that all our work in FrameMaker yesterday is likely lost. The network people were updating servers yesterday and unknowingly lost our files and probably others. Can anyone tell if and where I can find those files on our C drives, which I assume is the

Looking for an editable output from Frame 7.2

Greg, Regarding: >Omsys.com's rtf export filter would do the best job if they want to use Word because it mimics the tags pretty well. >As soon as your client actually starts editing, though, they're going to notice lots of discrepancies in appearance. Might not matter to them though, if they

TrackChanges and Multiple Undo

Paul, >Could folks give me their thoughts on TrackChanges and Multiple Undo (beta) from intech dot com? A year or two ago I installed TrackChanges on FrameMaker 7.0p579. Afterward FrameMaker began crashing when I edited text. Never had done so previously. I eventually figured out that deleting

Diane, I don't recall whether I got to that. I was very occupied at the time. Mike > -Original Message- > From: Diane Gaskill [mailto:dgcaller at earthlink.net] > Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 3:30 PM > To: Long, Michael (THMST) > Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com; dgh > Subject:

Conditional text page problem

All, We are making our first venture into conditional text, with two files of three conditions per file. (FrameMaker 7.1 with current patches, XP sp2) The main problem so far is that pages from a condition of longer text remain as blanks when a condition with shorter content is applied.

Frame documnet saved as XML losing formatting

Bernard-- Please send the PDF, or a link to it if that's more convenient. I think I will have time to experiment with it over the next couple of months. A question please: If I wanted to send the resulting XML output to others for editing, what inexpensive/open source tool with wysiwyg
