Using Attributes on the Reference Page

FM Pilgrims: We are trying to perfect some standard TOC and Index features in the Reference pages and are having issues with things that apparently used to work in 6.xx and don't appear to work anymore with Structured 7.2: This is a MIL SPEC 40051-2 project, which requires a 4-digit work

RE: Using Attributes on the Reference Page

Hi Randall, I don't think there was anything in the olden days that stopped working on later versions. I would suggest that you look at FrameScript as a way to automate adding the required leading zeros. If you can spell out your exact requirements, I can help you determine what is possible with

This list *consistently* proves there is no best for many FM tasks, but simply a best with given parameters. I think it's the same with a Help conversion tool. As with all our tools, there are pro's and con's that must be weighed including available: -time -budget -expertise in

Hi Shanmugham... I can try to point you in the right direction .. but this isn't a simple task. There are no DITA-specific FDK functions .. to FrameMaker, DITA files are just like any other structured document. It sounds like you're trying to replace the selected content (elements) with a

Graphics scale resetting to 100% when I open file

For reasons that are not clear to me it seems the prevailing thought here is to not copy into document, instead importing by reference. I always use the copy into document method. I never have any problems, and have been doing it this way for about seven years. Notice I used the word, never.

Graphics scale resetting to 100% when I open file

I import by reference because the user interface on our software tends to change on a regular basis. It's much easier for me to replace the graphic itself and let Framemaker update the three or four places in which I use the same graphic. But, as was just mentioned in another thread, your mileage

DITA File - FDK Programming

Hello, I'm working on DITA file structure in FrameMaker. I wanted to create a 'New DITA File' out of the text that I'm selecting from a document that is opened in FM. And have to give the 'Conref' to this new file from the main document. Here are the steps that I would like to achieve with FDK
