Working on a joint FM doc

2014-02-20 Thread Sonnenberg, Aryeh
I need to work with another colleague on an FM book. We probably don't need to use the same chapters, but definitely need to create CRs within the book from my chapters to hers. We are not currently using any check-in/check-out system. What is the best way to enable our co-working on one book?

That's a false generalization. The 4MB in my several Windows systems is twice as much as I have ever needed. On the Mac I'm testing large-footprint server software in multiple VMs, so 8GB is cramped, but if I could swap my Mac for had two real PCs running 32-bit Linux with 4GB each I'd have

I think the only software I've bought on disc in years is TurboTax, which in some years is cheaper at Costco than downloaded, and Native Instruments Komplete 9, which is not available as a download because it takes up 12 DVDs. Other than that, FrameMaker 6 might be the last product I bought on

Well, your experience does not generalize for everybody though ... most people do not use old programs that don't work in 64-bit installations of Windows 7. On a 32-bit Windows OS installation, having more than 4GB is, of course, wasted memory. Since it would never be accessed regardless of

And if this isn't too late to the party: Alt+236 produces the infinity symbol in the Arial font. Ctrl+q+4 produces the infinity symbol in the Symbol font (looks a bit bolded compared to Arial). On Mon, Feb 17, 2014 at 3:59 AM, Davis, David david.da...@invensys.comwrote: Fei Min, there's a bit

In my experience, inserting a cross-reference in one .fm file with a target in another .fm file makes changes in both files, so when another writer was working on the target file, I inserted a placeholder and added the cross-reference later, when the file was unlocked. On Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at

I keep all downloaded software and updates on a separate hard drive in my desktop system and a backup on an external hard drive that I can also use with my laptop. More convenient and faster to load than a DVD. Actually I have 3 drives in my desktop system -- a 250GB SSD that holds my OS and

Don't know how to answer that comment ... but I would be willing try installing FM 7.2 on my current system, since I am confident it would work fine. On my current system, I have both FM 8 (not 7.2) and FM 11 installed. And they work perfectly fine. Z -Original Message- From:
