Hi Mathieu, I would use FrameScript with either XML or Excel files. The decision of which to use would depend on how easy it is to generate one or another. If you can send me a sample FrameMaker file and a corresponding XML or Excel file, I can tell you what is possible with FrameScript. Thank you very much.

I am currently working on a Reference Manual, the purpose of which is to document all software objects referenced in a Mash-Up Suite. Objects will be documented on a per page basis, with: 1. Object short textual description 2. Properties table 3. Illustrated example We'd like to automate the update of object properties tables. Our idea is to generate from the soft as many documents (XML, Word, Excel?) as objects, each document containing object properties in a properly formatted format, then insert these documents as text insets (converted into tables) into the Properties Table sections of the Reference Manual. Does it sound like a sound process? Would you recommend proceeding differently? Which format would you go for for documents to be inserted into FrameMaker as tables? Thank you very much in anticipation for your help, Mathieu. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
