Hi,
I don' t have RoboHelp or the TCS. However, as far as I know
RoboHelp can process FrameMaker books whether it's integrated
in the TCS or not. The only advantage of the TCS is that you can
start the conversion from within FrameMaker.
Otherwise you must manually direct RoboHelp to the folder
I'd recommend WebWorks ePublisher's Reverb output. You can test drive a
trial version
(http://www.webworks.com/Products/ePublisher/Free_Trial/default.shtm).
ePublisher ingests Word, FrameMaker (unstructured), and DITA XML. You
can even mix all three sources into one project.

I've actually done this different ways (in 7.x), depending on what the
desired look is. One way was to create a paired set of tags: one holds the
graphic, the other the alert text.
ANother was a preconfigured table that had the graphic and the appropriate
color stored as part of the table format.
I need to change the width of tables in FrameMaker files. The files are flowed
as xml files into FrameMaker. These tablewidths have to be changed in the .dll
file that FrameMaker looks for when files are flowed. These widths can't be
changed in a FrameMaker template or through the edd file. The

Hello,
I'm using FrameMaker 10.0.1.402 on Windows 7. I have a very large book file -
30 files that total over 1000 pages. Track changes is enabled. All conditional
text is shown. All cross-references are resolved.
Sometimes, after generating the book, I will try to save it. I will then
Hi Simon,
I really like your interpretation. I'm also dealing with Software Manuals and
wrote Hardware Manuals before, so I'm sort of having the same problem. Are
there any official rules (similar to ANSI Z535) for software documentation?

Hello Gay
One idea is to use multiple flows for your text insets. A FM document can have
up to (I think) 256 different flows, each having a unique name. You could have
each text inset in a different flow, but put your metadata in the main flow
(A). Then when you import the text inset, you
Hi
Apart from the autonumbering approach that you are already using, you can use
any of the following methods:
* Use a two-cell table, with the left cell containing a graphic. The para
format used in the left cell should use the Frame Above or Frame Below setting
(in the Paragraph Designer),
I believe what Winfried says is correct. The purpose of the integration
provided in TCS is to give a live connection between your FM book and
RoboHelp, so that if the book contents change, RH knows about it. In that case
your RH project is *linked* to the FM book. Without TCS, you simply import
Hi Roger –
What an interesting suggestion. I had never worked with text flows before, but
after your e-mail, I created a text flow tag called Metadata containing the
four fields I mentioned earlier and I imported only that flow into the “master”
file that was designed to display only the

Not creative, just a grateful reader of other people's suggestions over the

I have in fact used the method described in years past, with entirely
satisfactory results.
Others may chime in with better suggestions or refinements, but what you are
doing sounds fine. On a

Hi George...
Presumably you're talking about an FDK client DLL? Unless you've got the
source code or it was set up to read data from some sort of support file
(INI or otherwise), you're probably out of luck. Is this a custom DLL
that was created for you? You'll probably need to contact the

Hi Roger,
I, too, am a “grateful reader of other people’s suggestions” – now including
yours ;-)
Unless someone else comes up with a different solution, I’ll continue
implementing the text flow idea. If I should run into a show-stopper, I’ll
certainly post it!
Have a good day and thank you
Fred is right, of course. I was assuming that you would have a separate file
for each inset, not all your insets in a single flow.
