RE: Upgrade to Frame 8?

There are members on my team with Frame 8 that complain that Frame still crashes even after p273. I'm still working with version 7.2 and we have not identified yet what might be causing it to crash. This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to

Re: Upgrade to Frame 8?

There are also some issues related to Unicode and special characters. You'll find them in this framers group if you look for the word bug. I also found the following bug recently: 1. Type a word which has special characters like the ë in technologieën (which is quite common in Dutch).

Re: Upgrade to Frame 8?

Hi Yves, it works with the old Nederlands dictionary (assuming it should be hyphenated as technologie-ën) and so it reminds me of the problems with the change from German to German (neu) -- the new dictionaries were of serious low quality. It seems to be a technical problem with the

Re: Upgrade to Frame 8?

Hi Jain, thank you for your prompt reply. I'm also using FM 8.0p273. The problem seems to occur only with the dictionary Nederlands (nieuw), which is the new spelling of Dutch. It doesn't happen with the dictionary Nederlands, but you can remove this dictionary from the list because it's no

RE: More like a flicker than a Blaze

I just looked at pricing. Flare is $899. FrameMaker is $899. With Frame I get DITA and a program that works with my ePub Help software, with Flare I get less. Not only does MadCap's product strategy make no sense, their pricing strategy also makes no sense. Since we are the potential audience

RE: More like a flicker than a Blaze

Vendor post Actually, to clarify for those who may not know, with Flare you get both online and print in one package. With Frame, you get print or PDF. With the addition of ePub (another $1200, last I looked), you get online. You also get very responsive tech support, should you want it.

Re: More like a flicker than a Blaze

FM does have HTML output via reference page mapping and with DITA has the ability to take content anywhere (though admittedly with additional technology involvement). So it's not quite just print and PDF that you get from FM as a standalone app, but HTML and XML as well. But yes, FM is primarily

Save as HTML

Hi all, It is possible to specify the output file names of the .htm files created when saving as HTML? FrameMaker generates the file names based on the .book or .fm file and then appends numbers to the end for any additional pages - bookname.htm, bookname1.htm, bookname2.htm, and so on. I'd like

Autonumber at end of paragraph

I'm using Frame 7.0. I want to use an autonumber, with its Position set to End of Paragraph, to insert some text after the text I type for the paragraph. Frame does this, except that it puts the autonumber text all the way at the right margin of the page. Does anyone know of a way to get Frame

Creating interactive PDF forms from Structured FrameMaker

I'm trying to figure out how to create interactive, fillable PDF forms from Structured FrameMaker. Does anyone have any experience with this? There's a Shlomo Perets plugin called TimeSavers Form Assistant that claims to do this with Frame, but it doesn't mention Structured Frame. Has anyone used

Re: Autonumber at end of paragraph

Rick, Check your autonumber setting in the Paragraph Designer. Check and see if there is a tab marker in there and in there is a tab marker somewhere on the right of the text frame. Try replacing the tab marker, if there is one, with a space, or em space, etc. Cheers Alan Rene Stephenson wrote:
