RE: Changed Section and Subsection Numbers

Harvey, I had a similar problem on a ~10 chapter book. One or two of the chapters would never get the formatting right even though each template was the same and each chapter had the Format - Document - Numbering (and Page) set properly. It was only when I would do Book Updates that the

Embarrasing simple question - identifying current style

It is many, many years since I've used Framemaker. We are now moving our documentation to Frame 11. One very basic task eludes me; how do I tell what style has been assigned to the selected text (or the paragraph where I've placed the insertion cursor)?

Translating FM files into Japonese

Hi, We have located a translator in Japan to translate a 300-page training booklet written in English. The document is very largely table based with typically an image in row 1 and the caption underneath in row 2 with straddled narrow columns containing arrows to show a sequence of actions.

The easiest way to see the applied paragraph tag is to select some part of the paragraph and look in the lowest left corner of your FM window.Note: In structured Fm, you'll likely see an element name (E:), not a para name -MattMatt R. Sullivanco-authorPublishing Fundamentals: Unstructured

RE: Translating FM files into Japonese

It is very strange indeed and I doubt that your translator is experienced. Trados is a translation tool. It is normal for the translators to import files into Trados and export as appropriate. Send them the files in rtf format and save yourselves a bundle. Or find a translator who knows what

RE: Translating FM files into Japonese

Hi Stephen, They may be trying to cut down on the prepping of FM files for translation, sort of like an engineering cost. I would think that a price of $12 p/p would be for the prepping AND the formatting of the FM files after translation. By them asking you for Trados files it takes care of

Convert text to variables

Is there a plugin that allows you to convert text to a variable? We have a long list of terms that correspond to existing variables in numerous documents. If we can convert the text to variables (without manually redefining each one), it would really speed things up. Thanks. Pat Christenson

Re: Convert text to variables

You can do it from within FrameMaker, but not all in one step. Simply create your variable and then copy your variable to the clipboard. Then use Find/Change. Enter the text you want to replace in the Find section and choose By Pasting in the Change section. The paste function will create
