I know it wasn't capable of doing that in the past, but I'm curious if it can now (the last release or two of TCS). TIA, Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "... In my opinion, there's nothing in this world beats a '52 Vincent and a redheaded girl." -- Richard Thompson

[Framers] FM unreliability Re: I may be upgrading at last...

2017-10-05 Thread Craig Ede
I think the 'unreliability' issues are overstated. Numerically, I think that we are now on FM14 (FM2017), so 6 full versions (and a couple of operating systems) have gone by. Things have been moved around a lot from FM9 on, but the interface for books is definitely better in the most current rel

I have a box of FrameMaker v5 from Frame technology. I loaded the program in Windows 7 Professional, and of course learned nothing of program workings, where I am peculiarly using the graphics palette. From the beginning when v5.5.6 was new, I have been happy with merger of 2D graphics of some comp

Theoretically, the marker looks something like: message URL file:/// However, if the employees don't all use the same browser on the same operating system, such links may not work for all of them. It's a lot cleaner to have an internal web server and host docs on that. http://framers.frameusers

I think there are already enough tools out there that there's not much demand for something new. You might look at LibreOffice Writer and LibreOffice Draw, or Scribus. People who think software design peaked 20+ years ago often use Latex. On Thu, Oct 5, 2017 at 1:10 PM, Phillip Norman wrote: >
