Hi Folks
I'm the first in our team who will install Frame 8 - so I'm the lucky
guinea pig who will be testing our templates to see how they behave in
the new version.
Although I've been keeping a record of bugs and problems reported on the
list, I can't find anything about the actual installat
Our Co. just went from FM 7 to FM 8.
I've had no problems.
We have templates and all seem to work.
I kept FM 7 on my 'puter, just-in-case.
(You might want to keep both FM 7 & FM 8 on for a while,
if you think there might be some issues.
Older FM 7 files seem to open just fine in FM 8.
As far
Hi,
One client ask me to extract all lines that have any changes (=marked
with change bars) to get a rough idea about the amount of text to
translate. Anyone has an idea? There are many many pages, so manual
mark-copy-paste is not what I would like to do.

Gunnar
Hello, I'm new to this list. A colleague forwarded kimwrites' question

Hi Joyce,
I've also experienced this "feature" and have come across a repeatable pattern
of failure.
Can others try this and report back whether it fails for them also?
I'm experiencing problems with dropped characters in text lines. Also, I've

Hi Gunnar,
This is rather easy to do if you have FrameScript. FrameScript is a
powerful and easy-to-use internals programming language for FrameMaker.
Using FrameScript you would would do the following:
Loop for every chapter in a book:
--Loop for every paragraph in a chapter:
Inspect each
I just tried this with my trial FM 8.0p273, and it is exactly as you
describe.

Although I've had Frame 8 since last summer, I've only just now migrated
my files to it. I've noticed three things that I don't recall seeing in
other people's complaints these last few months.
1. in the graphics Tools palette, the display of the current line
thickness and tint is busted.
2. S
Is there a way to search for text with a change bar, you could do the
same thing with a simple AutoIt script. And AutoIt is free.

I see the same problem ... quite repeatable. Characters get "eliminated"
from the text line following a carriage return (even later entries!).
1. Doing a control-L before the save does NOT show any problems.
2. Starting, saving a file, closing it, and then re-opening the file (no
control-L) shows
One additional observation:
The previous line where you do the carriage return, has to be shorter
than the next line to see the problem.
I.e., "12345", , "1234567890" shows the problem, but "1234567890",
, "12345" does NOT.

Referenced graphic file would be pretty standard.
OLE isn't reliable, and copying the graphic in makes the files too large.

Hello, Gunnar. We have a REXX script that processes MIF files to extract
only the changebar text. We use it to get a rough word counts for
translation. You're welcome to it if you don't find anything else.
To run the script you'd need to install a free REXX interpreter (I use
Regina).

Hi, Gunnar:
One approach that might work is to use File > Utilities > Document
Reports > Word Count to compare the changed documents to their
originals.
If the originals aren't available, another approach might be to use
Find/Replace to replace all change-bar-marked text with nothing, and
compare
In File > Preferences > General, select Show File Translation Errors
You may need to reboot FM after you change this, but when you do, the
Console window should be available.

Thanks to those who have replied. It might have seemed like an odd
