FWIW, I 'upgraded' from FrameMaker 6 to FrameMaker 7 for Mac years ago using a new unregistered upgrade copy obtained from eBay. It never gave me any problems. But I see that the title of this thread is 'used copies', and I guess that point has been well answered already. -- Steve

Problem converting Word doc into FM

I am converting a two column word document into FrameMaker. The size and format must remain the same. Is there a way to add something like section breaks (continuous) in a FrameMaker document? I need to wrap a column previous to a table that spans both columns. Then I will continue using the le

That's true, but I didn't say it. FrameMaker 8 added Unicode support, which was a pretty radical change as regards fonts. FrameMaker 9 introduced the bad UI layer and lots of bugs that have never been fixed. On Sun, Dec 7, 2014 at 7:31 PM, Syed Zaeem Hosain (syed.hos...@aeris.net) wrote: > Once

Good afternoon, guys.. I have a book that uses the variable "Running H/F 1" in my footer that picks up Chapter Title. The hierarchy is Chapter Title, Heading 1, Heading 2, etc,. The problem is, for the sections that follow Chapter Title that start with Heading 1, the variable displays blank. Th

Nothing complicated about it: <$paratext[ChapterTitle]> I don't think the issue is the composition of the variable...it works fine when the page has a paragraph tag Chapter Title. The issue is when the para text doesn't appear in the FM file, but does in a previous file that I want to carry forw

OK, that was about what I thought. The short answer is, you can't do it with a RunningH/F, as it only picks up the information in the CURRENT file. If you want to bring the Chapter title over from a previous file, you'll have to edit the master page to use a cross-reference back to the file with

Hi Rebecca, Frame has no section breaks. Instead you can use a paragraph format that spans both columns to 'break' the page (use the pagination tab of the paragraph designer and set the paragraph to be 'across all columns'). Columns will reflow above and start below again. Use that paragraph t
