I have been asked "what do you think about trisoft cms"?
I don't know the product. Right now I am the only one using unstructured
Framemaker. We have 5 writers who are using MS Word. Framemaker has been
bought and we have a template in unstructured FM that is built up around
the IMAP structure. W

My coworker is having trouble creating a pdf from Framemaker:
"I received a new error message today when distilling the TM from Frame to

After trying multiple ways to pdf (save to, print to), I finally saved to
postscript.
The error message I received in the log said
Hi,
Does anyone of you know if there's a FrameMaker 8 trial for Unix (Solaris)?
I looked at the Adobe web site but found no direct link on their downloads
page.
Please advise.

1st. I would like to export unstructured Frame 7.1 paragraphs directly
into whatever TypePad uses for creating blog posts; paste in is OK.
TypePad's support FAQ'a contain nothing on Framemaker. I have about
4500 journal entries (paragraphs) into a 1,400 page Frame Book w/an

Hi Framers,
I have a cross referenced heading. The heading includes a variable that
includes a registered trademark.
The problem is that the trademark in the crossreference droops after I perform
a book update. I suspect Frame converts the character from subscript to normal
after I update
Inset Plus [sic] is free, and looks very interesting, but
the site does not indicate whether it is a product one can just inject
into one's Structured FrameMaker system, of if one needs to BUY any of the
other West Street Consulting products in order to make use of it.
Kristy, can you address
I've learned a lot by just following the conversations on this list, and

I'm working in FrameMaker 7.2 and have several FrameMaker books with the
same template applied.

I've seen this before. It was caused by an empty Text Line object that
is using the character format you are trying to change or delete. You
have to find the Text Line object and delete it then you can change or
delete the character form.

I'm working in FrameMaker 7.2 and have 20+ books based on a boilerplate
template.
In a .pdf of one of the books, instead of seeing the current page number
(1, 2, and so forth) in the header, I saw every page number, prefixed
with "". The other books show the page number without the
prefix.
Hi all Framers
I need to add some Visio flows (currently in Word) that take up the size of a
full portrait page.
I copied and used paste special > Bitmap into a portrait FrameMaker page. The
Visio fit fine on one page, but it jumped to the next page. I had the cursor

Please forgive this off-topic query, but I have nowhere else to turn for help.

Hi,
I guess this is a Distiller rather than FrameMaker problem and I seem to
have a workaround, but I would be interested to know if anyone on this list
knows about the problem and has a more direct solution.

You should be able to simply copy-and-paste anything from a Frame file
directly into any other program. I'm not familiar with TypePad, but if
it's a Windows program it should take stuff from the Clipboard.

wouldn't bother
I don't believe that UNIX trials have been available for some time.
In any case, you won't find an FM 8 version anywhere because 9 is the
current release.

We're beginning to make our documents accessible, and we'd like to work in

Neither here nor there. Sometimes it's easier to reference by a single
char, but ultimately this is a PDF and is searchable with a dynamic
TOC.

Why on earth would you have blank PDF page? Who's going to take it,
print it, and bind it, and then use only the printout?
