Script to change a paratag based on the autonumber format

2015-03-06 Thread Yves Barbion
Hi group I've got a FrameMaker file which was converted from a Word document. The FrameMaker file contains the paratag [List Paragraph] but this tag is also used by nested bulleted lists. Consequently, the autonumber format is as follows: •\t for top-level list items o\t for second-level list

Scripting issues

2015-03-06 Thread Steve Rickaby
Yves' e-mail about scripting has reminded me of something I need advice about. Until quite recently I was using the ancient FrameMaker 7 for Mac. Over many years of working with it I had developed a series of custom toolbars and macros for cutting the workload of book production, using

I just upgraded from Frame 9 to 12. It's a slightly different look, but I'm getting used to that. The one thing that there MUST be an explanation for, why doesn't a double click on a graphic open the default graphics editor, and where do you define the default. The right click 'Edit with'

I know there must be an easier way to do this. We have a translation agency that doesn't want to spring for FM12 upgrades to be compatible with the FM12 docs that we create. For what we pay them every year... (but that's another story). Instead, they want us to convert everything to MIF (MIF12

OK .. couldn't resist. Try this .. var doc = app.ActiveDoc; // these para tags must already exist var pgfFormat1 = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_PgfFmt, listitem1); var pgfFormat2 = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_PgfFmt, listitem2); if ((!pgfFormat1.ObjectValid()) ||

Frame has a number of sample scripts it ships with. If you install the one for MIF washing, it will save all the files in the book. This is a book-level utility, and you'll find it up in the toolbar under Book Utilities once you've installed it (and you have the book open and in focus). On Fri,

Hi Yves... The answer to your questions is .. Yes! :-) If you're looking for the code to do it, that might take a bit more time. Some generous developer might post the code for you, I'll provide some pseudo-code .. - iterate each paragraph in the document - check the autonumber format
