Hi Framers,
First, many thanks to those respondents who recently helped me configure FM
for Chinese-text editing.
Another Chinese question: the FM online manual states that "a new keyword,
<$pinyin> is added to the SortOrderIX paragraph on the IX reference page".
This doesn't make it obvious wh
Hi Neil,
Yes, I am using Tortoise with fm files.
I work with them in the following manner.
Firstly, I need you to know that I work with developers wherein the complete
code is managed by CVS and the code build is ant 1.6.5 based.
Torotoise is used more because it integrates directly into explore
Try one of the following:
1. Provide the printer with separate cover files and a file for the
manual's content. Funny, I don't have a problem getting my printer
service to understand that the second side of each cover file is blank.
2. Make a PDF of a blank page, and keep it for all your projects

Is the cover in a different software?
My front and back covers are created by marketing in InDesign. They send
me the front and back cover. I create a new pdf with a blank page pdf.
For example,
In Adobe Acrobat
Create multiple files

Since your cover and back cover PDFs are not generated from Frame, I
assume that you are using Acrobat Professional to put them together into
the single PDF. Acrobat Professional is where you need to add your blank
pages.

Hi Angela,
I suggest a different way of creating the manual.
Create 3 Frame files for your manual: front, body, back. Set all 3 files to
make pagecount even. Put all 3 files in a book. Print the book to _one_
PDF file. The blank pages will be there.
Much easier than the way you are doing it.
Hello Framers,
I have a script in development that streamlines the process of inserting

potential cross-reference targets and stores them in a database file. The
second pass is where you can quickly insert cross-referen

I know this has been discussed before, but what is the best tool to use
to convert a word doc (with text, tables and images) to a Frame doc.
