Table templates (FrameMaker 10)

2011-10-10 Thread Susan Ewald 
Hello Rick,

I wrestled with a similar problem (I think), to get a few icons such as
check mark, note icon, caution icon, book icon from micro tables in
FrameMaker 10 to show up in Robohelp. After following several threads on
discussion boards with no luck, I mentioned the problem to one of our
engineers.

She suggested using the icon as a background image for the paragraph in the
Robohelp style sheet. This worked beautifully. Then all I had to do was map
the FrameMaker paragraph style for the cell containing the image to the
Robohelp paragraph style containing a background image.

Maybe this tactic will work with your step number images.

Susan

Table templates (FrameMaker 10)

2011-10-06 Thread Steve Rickaby 
Posted for a colleague...

To maintain consistency with documents created using RoboHelp 7, we need to 
create a table template (in FrameMaker 10, as part of TCS3.5) which contains 
images of step numbers (copied into anchored frames) in each row. The Table 
Designer isn't any help for this requirement and when I insert anchored frames 
and images into the table and save, they're not being 'picked up' by the table 
template.
 
Am I trying to do the impossible? If not, I'd much appreciate any relevant 
suggestions.

I suspect that the answer to this is 'yes', but I'd like to be sure.

RE: Table templates (FrameMaker 10)

2011-10-06 Thread Rick Quatro 
Hi Steve,

When you create or update a table format, each cell's paragraph format from
the first row in each column is stored as part of the table format. This
applies to heading, body, and footing rows. However, it only stores
paragraph formats, not content like text and anchored frames. There are two
ways you could handle this:

1) Use a font for the step numbers and apply that paragraph format to the
first column in the table. In the Table Designer, click Update All, so that
when you insert a new table, the paragraph format will be used in that
column.

2) Make an example table with anchored frames, etc. and store it on a
Reference Page, where you can use as a boilerplate table. There is a plugin
that can be used to insert boilerplate content from a Reference Page; I
think it is called AutoText.

Of course, you could use FrameScript to automate the insertion of the table
and the appropriate number of step graphics. Please let me know if you have
any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Rick
