Argg! They changed the product name! And AFTER the book was done, pdf'd and sent overseas for printing! I put a hold on it, but now have to go back and change the headers to indicate the new model name. Other than opening each book file and changing the header text one file at a time, is

In hindsight, I SHOULD have used a variable for the product name, but stupid me, I thought the company model names for its 45-meter boom and 46-meter boom concrete pump trucks were pretty much cast in  . . . concrete.   Yeah, right.   -- Kenpo From: Writer

Re: global header change?

First, as you discovered, product names (and company names, I think) should always be variables. Second, to update, just update one chapter of the book with the correct information (you may as well set it up as a variable too) so that the header is correct on the master page, save the file, then

Too late to help now, but it is for this *exact* reason that I use a variable for the product name and other similar likely-to-change' information inside the document. Then, using the BookVars tool from Leximation, life is greatly automated to make these kinds of changes! :) As a temporary

And don't forget to look for the product name in figures, too. Find/Change (and EZVars, too, I assume) will only find the old name in text objects like paragraphs. -Fred Ridder Subject: RE: global header change? Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 14:23:51 -0700 From: richard.co...@polycom.com To:

RE: Upgrading FM from 7.1 to 9

Hi Jeremy, I did a comparison of RH vs. Mif2Go at the beginning of the year, and the biggest difference I found was that RH supported Natural Language search. Does Mif2Go support that, or will it? Thanks! Lea _ Lea Rush Software and Documentation Specialist

Enhancements to compare reports

When using the Compare function of Frame 8, any insertion, deletions or change in a Marker appears on the report as Anchored Frame Change. Is it possible to pull in the associated text with that marker and list that on the change report directly beside the Marker that was change? Also is

Auto-numbering figures across files

Hi! I am having a heck of a time trying to get my figure numbering to increase across files in a book. For example, in chapter 1, if my last graphic was Figure 1, then in chapter 2 when when I insert the caption for my first figure, I want it to be labeled Figure 2. I have set the Document

RE: Auto-numbering figures across files

Two things to check: First and foremost, are you doing an Update Book operation after you set the numbering properties in the book file? Any changes you specify in the book file are staged until the next time you do an Update Book, which is the only time that FrameMaker sequentially scans
