Hi All,
I am pretty sure I have the login information for the list. To be honest, I
tend to use the Adobe Forums for post and answer FrameMaker questions. I do
like the availability of this list too.

2023-09-14 Thread Harding, Dan
Tammy,

If there's a need, I'm certainly willing to help out from a list admin 
perspective, especially if it is a group/team effort. I've been subscribed to 
the list since 2008 (at least that's as far back as my saved emails from the 
list go). For background, while I took early retirement from the University of 
Illinois 2 years ago, I still work for the same department 6 months out of the 
year as a consultant, and during that 6 months I am using FrameMaker daily, so 
I too still rely on and check the list regularly (less regularly during my 6 
months of non-employment, but still check the list weekly at a minimum).

While I typically prune my contact information from list emails, I'm including 
it below.

Subject: [Framers] Framers list admin?

OK,

I am sure that I am gonna' get excoriated by a few folks on this list after 
this post, but at this point in my life and career, I am tough old bird.

I had been trying to post to the list for the last two days w/out any success. 
I was last able to reply to a post successfully on 8/25 and then since that 
time (through 9/12), no joy. I reached out to Bernard as the last that I heard 
is that he had stepped up to the plate to be the list admin after Carol Elkins 
and Rick Quatro stepped back.

Eventually, after no response via the link at the bottom of all emails, I 
called Bernard directly at his business.  Here is the email response that I 
received:

*
Hello Tammy, thanks for reaching out. I don't even recall my password for the 
list but might be able to find it. I'd suggest reaching out to Rick Quattro. 
He's got full admin permissions in the system as well.

Uh, OK. The absolute >>LAST<< that I knew, Bernard was the list admin and I 
have never seen a post to the otherwise; moreover, I actually had a brief 
conversation with Rick Quatro a while back and he explicitly stated that he was 
not the list admin, Bernard was.

I know that many of us on this list are getting long in the tooth, myself 
definitely included, but I most certainly can still use the support of the 
community at times. I intend to keep working for at least the next 2 years, 
maybe 3 and I simply cannot imagine not having this list as a resource when 
needed. FM is still the tool of choice for several of my clients for many 
reasons, and even after all these years, I still need a nudge in the right 
direction or need to learn something new. I can't imagine that there are not 
others in the same boat.

I kinda' feel like we (the list users) have been left hanging and have not been 
really given the whole scoop. I am more than willing to step to the role of

[Framers] Framers list admin?

2023-09-14 Thread Tammy Van Boening
OK,

I am sure that I am gonna' get excoriated by a few folks on this list after 
this post, but at this point in my life and career, I am tough old bird.

I had been trying to post to the list for the last two days w/out any success. 
I was last able to reply to a post successfully on 8/25 and then since that 
time (through 9/12), no joy. I reached out to Bernard as the last that I heard 
is that he had stepped up to the plate to be the list admin after Carol Elkins 
and Rick Quatro stepped back.

Eventually, after no response via the link at the bottom of all emails, I 
called Bernard directly at his business.  Here is the email response that I 
received:

*
Hello Tammy, thanks for reaching out. I don't even recall my password for the 
list but might be able to find it. I'd suggest reaching out to Rick Quattro. 
He's got full admin permissions in the system as well.

Uh, OK. The absolute >>LAST<< that I knew, Bernard was the list admin and I 
have never seen a post to the otherwise; moreover, I actually had a brief 
conversation with Rick Quatro a while back and he explicitly stated that he was 
not the list admin, Bernard was.

I know that many of us on this list are getting long in the tooth, myself 
definitely included, but I most certainly can still use the support of the 
community at times. I intend to keep working for at least the next 2 years, 
maybe 3 and I simply cannot imagine not having this list as a resource when 
needed. FM is still the tool of choice for several of my clients for many 
reasons, and even after all these years, I still need a nudge in the right 
direction or need to learn something new. I can't imagine that there are not 
others in the same boat.

I kinda' feel like we (the list users) have been left hanging and have not been 
really given the whole scoop. I am more than willing to step to the role of 
list admin part-time if someone else is willing to co-admin. I don't have the 
bandwidth for being a sole admin, but being a co-admin would be fine. At this 
point, the list traffic is light enough and the list members so well known that 
I can't imagine having too many list issues such as a recruiting imposter, 
spam, etc.

If you're interested, please just respond to this email directly on list

for all of us, but still keep a very necessary resource for so many of us 
active.

You have to use a fundamentally different approach.

Explicitly declare the whole numbering scheme for your nested lists (2, in this 
example):
Level 1 = N+, A0
Level 2 = N, A+

Use your procedure-introduction heading to reset those numbering lists. Yes, a 
heading can have a numbering scheme, vidilicit:
N=0
A=0

So you never need a 'first number' style. Dumbest idea that the intern at Adobe 
ever came up with. (That intern might be a VP of development, now, so... Ooops!)

Bonus: conversation to DITA will be easier without an artificial/superfluous 
reset style.

HTH. I'm not at a keyboard, and I've been out of FM for yonks.
But that approach is right.

Win 10 with FrameMaker 20 (not the latest Frame version as my company doesn't 
allow updates as they are released).

I'm sure the answer to this is easy, but I can't figure it out.

I have a list of numbered instructions. Within that list is an alpha sub-list 
under one of the instructions.

When I finish the last alpha sub-list entry and revert to the numbered 
instruction list, the number continues counting from the last alpha bullet, not 
the previous numbered instruction.

For example:

1.
2.
3.
 a)
 b)
 c)
 d)
5.

Where "5" should actually be "4".

The first numbered and alpha list steps have the following auto-numbering 
setups:
.\t
.\t

Second and subsequent numbered and alpha list steps have the following 
auto-numbering setups:
.\t
.\t

What am I doing wrong?

Re: [Framers] Numbered List Issue

I'll fix things on Monday - tomorrow I have to complete a different project.

Alison,

 

The fix is fairly simple. You basically need to specify two counters in your
numbered list formats; one for each list level.

 

The first numbered and alpha list steps have the following auto-numbering

setups:

 

.\t

This should be < =0>.\t (set the top-level list number to "1"; reset
but do not print the second-level list number.)

 

.\t

You actually don't need this format. Each top-level list will resent the
counter for the second-level list. If you did keep this format, it would be
< >.\t

 

 

 

Second and subsequent numbered and alpha list steps have the following

auto-numbering setups:

 

.\t

This should be < =0>.\t (increment the first-level list number; reset
but do not print the second-level list number)

 

.\t

This should be < >\t (maintain, but do not print, the first-level list
number. Increment the second-level list).

 

Once set up, FrameMaker's list numbering is rock-solid and reliable.

 

Hope this helps!

I can confirm that Frame 10 works just fine under Windows 11. I mainly use 
Frame 17, but I still have some clients who require Frame 10.
I use Frame since version 3 and this list has always been a wonderful source of

Re: [Framers] Have not seen any emails in this list since ...

2023-01-24 Thread Harding, Dan
Per discussions on this list from September and October of 2021, Frame works 
fine under Windows 11. Am still running it under Windows 10 here, so no 
firsthand experiences with Frame and Win11.

Sadly, we have switched to Flare. We still have some legacy documents in 
FrameMaker 10, but with the move to Windows 11, we have to convert those, too. 
I'm on this list "just in case", but I expect to disappear in a few years.

We had a good time while it lasted...

I fully agree with your arguments, Tammy. From time to time I look into the 
archive -
but this gap (2022-11-01 until 2023-01-12 = 2 months) is unique in the history 
of
Framers.

I'm retired since 15 years now (well, as a free lancer one defines oneself when 
this
shall be), but I use FM for private documentation and also have still some
'customers' requiring help from time to time. And yes, I still create (and 
maintain)
add-ons and scripts to ease work with FM 
(https://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker63.html and
later). This keeps my expertise and allows me to still participate in 
beta-testing
where 'my field' mainly is the user interface.

In my own case, I was laid off (with some rejoicing) in late 2018. I thought I 
might try to land some short-term work, but then various life events and the 
pandemic hit, and I now consider myself retired. I am not sure why I'm still 
subscribed here since I don't have a personal copy of Frame but I do 
occasionally look in to see what's going. I should look at my archived material 
from work to see if I could repurpose any of it into a blog post, but the last 
version of Frame I used was FrameMaker 2010, there's probably not much point.

It was fun while it lasted though.

>We typically see the most traffic when something new or radically different is

and doesn't work as expected or is designed so poorly, that its use is far from 
intuitive or user-friendly, if I might add that caveat. Unfortunately, the most 
traffic these days is definitely for these Whiskey/Tango/Foxtrot moments that 
Frame can launch at us.

And yep, I mentioned "long in the tooth" because I, too, can definitely be 
filed in that category. 

 And nope, not dead yet either, but I will be after

Re: [Framers] Have not seen any emails in this list since ...

2023-01-12 Thread Keith Soltys
I think you are right, Tammy. FrameMaker is an old-school product and 
Adobe doesn't seem to be doing much to promote or improve it. I watched 
the webinar for the new release a few months ago and I was distinctly 
underwhelmed. That's not going to bring new users to the list.


In my own case, I was laid off (with some rejoicing) in late 2018. I 
thought I might try to land some short-term work, but then various life 
events and the pandemic hit, and I now consider myself retired. I am not 
sure why I'm still subscribed here since I don't have a personal copy of 
Frame but I do occasionally look in to see what's going. I should look 
at my archived material from work to see if I could repurpose any of it 
into a blog post, but the last version of Frame I used was FrameMaker 
2010, there's probably not much point.


It was fun while it lasted though.

Regards
Keith

2023-01-12 Thread Harding, Dan
Another issue may be that there hasn't been anything revolutionary, 
earth-shattering, or system-breaking with respect to Frame in a while. Outside 
of "how do I?..." posts to the list, we typically see the most traffic when 
something new or radically different is either announced or launched.

Re: long in the tooth, file me in that category. I took early retirement in 
October of 2021, although I'm being brought back each year as a seasonal 
consultant to continue producing the textbook that I've been doing in Frame for 
the last 17 years... so we're not all dead yet. 😉

Yes, it has been a longish dry spell on Framers. Possible reasons:
 - a long holiday break
 - we have all become experts
 - or ??
I do miss the liveliness (and informativeness) this list used to provide. The 
position of FrameMaker in the marketplace probably doesn’t support that any 
longer. It has been a nice run!

Re: [Framers] Automated index or list of keywords in Frame or Word?

2022-01-01 Thread acraig
Hi Dan:

In his retirement, my husband Don has taken up a third career as an indexer
- and no, I'm not trying to sell you his services. ;-)

He recently completed a Word project with 250,000 indexable words (39
articles for a publication on the Anthropology of Technology) and for that
he used an SaaS product called "Index Manager" (link is below with the info
he forwarded to me). He says the company that makes the product supports
Structured Frame - although I don't have any details about what that
entails.

As an SaaS product, Don signed up for only one quarter as most jobs allow
him to use another product that works with print-ready PDFs from the
publisher. If he needs it again, he'll sign up again.

He says that you could definitely work on a chapter-by-chapter basis then
stitch it all together at the end to create a single index (again, I don't
have details on how that's done).

And yes, the program inserts Word index markers into the Word file even
though you work in the SaaS software.

Embedded Indexing Links

"Index Manager": https://index-manager.net/en/home/?v=3e8d115eb4b3  

It has a bit of a learning curve, especially for advanced features. The
company is very responsive and helpful with any problems.

Lots of people also use one of the following.

"DexEmbed": I believe this is a 32-bit program,

Subject: [Framers] Automated index or list of keywords in Frame or Word?

Good afternoon,

First a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on the list!

By way of background:

I have been typesetting an annual textbook in FrameMaker for the last 15+
years. I retired at the end of September, but that's not the cause of my
inquiry. I will be continuing to do the same work moving forward on a
seasonal freelance basis. No, the changes are to other positions in the
editorial workflow and a necessary streamlining of the processes involved.

The book that is produced, while existing in PDF formats for electronic
access by course attendees, is still primarily a printed work. We've had
internal discussions regarding discontinuing the traditional index given the
labor involved, given that people typically use Ctrl-f in the PDFs, however
this is of no use to a person who only has the printed book. Even if there
is no contextual index with content organized into entries, sub-entries,
etc. (we've typically gone 3-4 levels deep), IMO there needs to at least be
an alphabetical list of major terms/concepts with corresponding page
numbers, i.e., a "poor-man's index."

Historically, the insertion of index markers has been done in Microsoft Word
after the technical and stylistic editing is done, immediately prior to
import into Frame, with further refinement and reconciliation all done
within Frame. This insertion of index markers has been a manual process, but
the position doing this work is being eliminated, and the SMEs and editors
do not have the time in the process (or expertise) to take on this process.
Outsourcing is not an option, given the idiosyncratic industry jargon that
is used; any general indexing service or freelancer wouldn't have the
background in our specific industry to be able to effectively index the
material. We've tried using external services to do this in the past and it
failed dismally due to the lack of context by the party(ies) doing the
indexing. There won't be time or resources to take on a learning curve once
we're in the midst of production or to vet the work at that point.

I realize full well that there is an art/skill to creating an effective
index. I'm not arguing that. However, for expediency moving forward this
manual process needs to be eliminated, so I am looking for alternative
automated solutions that will get us part of the way there.

The chapters are produced at different times over a 6-month period, with
initial index entry reconciliation work starting at approximately the 4
month mark, and the majority of the reconciliation work being done at the
very tail end of the production process immediately prior to going to press
(so very small window to complete the final work in Frame).

So I am looking for suggestions for either of the following:

1. Microsoft Word-based methods or plugins that will create a
keyword/key-term list and insert index markers that will then flow through
into FrameMaker upon import. It needs to create and insert the Word index
markers; it cannot be a manual insertion process once a list

Hi Ken,

I appreciate that suggestion, however I stopped using ixgen back in 2019 as it 
is only compatible with the 32-bit version of FrameMaker. I found that trying 
to juggle 32-bit vs. 64-bit Frame applications depending on task to be 
extremely cumbersome. I'll revisit the application, but Frame's UI performance 
in 64-bit is bad enough, 32-bit horrifically so.

Thanks,

 Good afternoon,

First a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on the list!

By way of background:

I have been typesetting an annual textbook in FrameMaker for the last 15+ 
years. I retired at the end of September, but that's not the cause of my 
inquiry. I will be continuing to do the same work moving forward on a seasonal 
freelance basis. No, the changes are to other positions in the editorial 
workflow and a necessary streamlining of the processes involved.

The book that is produced, while existing in PDF formats for electronic access 
by course attendees, is still primarily a printed work. We've had internal 
discussions regarding discontinuing the traditional index given the labor 
involved, given that people typically use Ctrl-f in the PDFs, however this is 
of no use to a person who only has the printed book. Even if there is no 
contextual index with content organized into entries, sub-entries, etc. (we've 
typically gone 3-4 levels deep), IMO there needs to at least be an alphabetical 
list of major terms/concepts with corresponding page numbers, i.e., a 
"poor-man's index."

Historically, the insertion of index markers has been done in Microsoft Word 
after the technical and stylistic editing is done, immediately prior to import 
into Frame, with further refinement and reconciliation all done within Frame. 
This insertion of index markers has been a manual process, but the position 
doing this work is being eliminated, and the SMEs and editors do not have the 
time in the process (or expertise) to take on this process. Outsourcing is not 
an option, given the idiosyncratic industry jargon that is used; any general 
indexing service or freelancer wouldn't have the background in our specific 
industry to be able to effectively index the material. We've tried using 
external services to do this in the past and it failed dismally due to the lack 
of context by the party(ies) doing the indexing. There won't be time or 
resources to take on a learning curve once we're in the midst of production or 
to vet the work at that point.

I realize full well that there is an art/skill to creating an effective index. 
I'm not arguing that. However, for expediency moving forward this manual 
process needs to be eliminated, so I am looking for alternative automated 
solutions that will get us part of the way there.

The chapters are produced at different times over a 6-month period, with 
initial index entry reconciliation work starting at approximately the 4 month 
mark, and the majority of the reconciliation work being done at the very tail 
end of the production process immediately prior to going to press (so very 
small window to complete the final work in Frame).

So I am looking for suggestions for either of the following:

1. Microsoft Word-based methods or plugins that will create a keyword/key-term 
list and insert index markers that will then flow through into FrameMaker upon 
import. It needs to create and insert the Word index markers; it cannot be a 
manual insertion process once a list is created.

2. Script/plugin for FrameMaker that does the same after the Word content is 
imported. Again, it needs to be an automated process that creates and inserts 
the index markers, understanding that some refinement and reconciliation will 
be needed.

If we need to incorporate the manual creation of a general terms list that 
chapters are then automated against, or manual vetting of a generated list, 
that presumably could be incorporated into the editorial stages prior to 
typesetting.

I'm open to other suggestions, however we are not moving the typesetting 
production out of FrameMaker at this time, nor are we looking to contract with 
a service for this work on an ongoing basis. If there are one-time up-front 
development costs that results in something turn-key and sustainable moving 
forward, that would be considered, but we are looking to avoid recurring 
expenses.

Thank you in advance for any input/suggestions.

Hi, Monique, et. al.

I am in the SF Bay Area and you are totally correct about the trends here … all

Yes, what Z said!

I haven't used FrameMaker for a goodly number of years now, having moved to 
jobs that use a docs-as-code approach. (So Markdown, SSGs [static site 
generators], developer tools.) And given the job market and location I'm in -- 
the San Francisco Bay Area, and lots of startup companies -- it seems unlikely 
I'll have a FrameMaker-oriented job ever again.

But I like to remain on this list so that I hear from long-time colleagues, 
even if it's just to wish them a happy retirement!

When I generate webhelp from a regular ditamap, the ToC looks fine.

I'm generating responsive html5 from a ditamap, using FrameMaker 2019. I
see that the table of content is not really a table of contents, but just a
flat list of all my topics titles, arranged in alphabetical order. Any
ideas how I can get a "real" ToC in there?

Many thanks in advance.

All,


I reinstalled FM12 and patched it, and inserting a list of imported graphics to 
the book now works. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Thanks for the offer.


I'm wondering if the feature is broken or if I'm not setting it up correctly? I

[Framers] FM12 - List of Imported Graphics != All Files

2018-09-17 Thread cuc tu
Hi All,


I've used to add a list of imported graphics, and then use that write a batch 
file to collect all of the files into a single folder, and then update Frame to 
use that folder. Now, I am not getting all of the files. It seems like Frame 
gets stuck on a single file type, such as Illustrator, and ignores the rest. 
Sometimes I get a mix, such as all .ai and one .jpg. That is consistent, 
however.


  1.  Open book file
  2.  Add > List Of >  References...
  3.  Include References: Imported Graphics
  4.  Update book, including all selections
  5.  Ta-da - a partial list


Have I forgotten something that will produce a complete list? I am not creating 
a list for just the file, since no other files were opened, but I have tried 
opening all the files and selecting the book when adding the list, to avoid the 
confusing message about adding the list to the book.


FM12 unstructured.


Thanks,

C2

I noticed that when a reader clicks a List of Figures entry in the PDF of my

the top of the screen.  This is fine if I designed the document to have
figure links above the figure, but my department's policy is to have the

Does anyone have a suggestion for resolving this?

I've made a List of Markers with the markers above the figure, and this

entries in the List of Markers.

Example:  *Figure 1*: Whatsit (exploded view)

"Figure 1:" has to be in bold, and "Whatsit (exploded view)" is not bold.

I can't do this using a simple Marker.

[Framers] List of Figures linking (UnStructured Frame)

2018-07-25 Thread Doug
I noticed that when a reader clicks a List of Figures entry in the PDF of
my document, it jumps to the figure in the body and places the figure's
link at the top of the screen.  This is fine if I designed the document to
have figure links above the figure, but my department's policy is to have
the figure links below the figures.  This results in the figure itself
being off the top the screen when the figure link displays at the top.

Does anyone have a suggestion for resolving this?

I've made a List of Markers with the markers above the figure, and this
works, but the problem with that is it complicates the wording of the
entries in the List of Markers.

Example:  *Figure 1*: Whatsit (exploded view)

"Figure 1:" has to be in bold, and "Whatsit (exploded view)" is not bold.

I can't do this using a simple Marker.

Ideas?

[Framers] Need help with List Formats in Structured

2018-07-24 Thread Nicole Rader
I am updating a file to Structured FrameMaker and ran into a problem with
the list formats. I have many instances where lists have multiple levels.

For example:
a. Level 1
  1). Level 2
 (a) Level 3

I am having difficulties with the lists not resetting.

What I want:
a. Text
  1. Text
  2. Text
b. Text
  1. Text

What I am getting:
a. Text
   1. Text
   2. Text
b. Text
   3. Text

I am sure I have something wrong in my EDD, but cannot figure it out. Below
is my EDD text format rules for my lists.


Let me know if you need more info to help me solve.

My structure is set to PARA0 (ListType "Numbered") < Step1 < Para. Above is
the format rules for the Para element specifically.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Framers] list members not using FrameMaker now

2018-06-26 Thread Etzel, Gary
I can't speak to FrameMaker/Robohelp today, as we made this decision a few 
years ago. But I can say that Flare provides numerous templates that are easy 
to modify for your corporate look and feel. So you can get up and running very 
quickly with a great selection of different pre-made output styles. Another key 
factor in our decision to use Flare was the support, training, and webinars 
that MadCap provides. There has been a lot of valid complaints here in the 
forum, that Adobe does not support the technical writing community or its 
technical writing products. It doesn't make Adobe a bad company, it's just the 
way it is. But MadCap does support us, and that has made them a much better 
company to work with in my opinion.

Another point I'd make is that if Online Help is your primary output, rather 
than print or PDF, then working in a topic-based authoring environment like 
Flare or RoboHelp is critical. Think of it this way, in FrameMaker you are 
essentially writing a print-based document that you later convert to Online 
Help. In Flare, you are writing the Online Help directly. It seems like a 
subtle difference at first but once you realize it and embrace it, it 
completely changes the way you write topics and organize your documentation.

Re: [Framers] list members not using FrameMaker now

2018-06-26 Thread Jack DeLand
And Ferraris and Jeeps both run on petrol.  It's what you do with it and how
that makes the difference. Once you adapt to the Flare UI, you'll appreciate
how carefully thought out the tool is. The designers are always just over
the horizon, thinking up cool stuff.  Try the download. ...

Excellent work Klaus thank you for a really useful reference!
I did notice that the DITA Esc sequences as shown on the menus in FM14 were
not included. For example Esc AI which seems to be a duplicate of Esc ide.
I've not looked at this in great depth  but thought you might like to know.

To find 'free' ESC sequences for my scripts I have compiled and compared the
list of ESC sequences for FM-09, -13 and -14.
My conclusion is that everything present in FM-09 is also there (with the
same

You can see my compilation at

The comparison is in the table for FM-14 starting on page 23.

Hope this helps to remove suspicion.

Not that I have come across--unless I'm missing something obvious. 

While I appreciate the new Word import feature (it has been in InDesign for 
some time), it works best if one is working with experienced Word users who 
know how to use styles properly. That is not always the case. 

The problem is when the Word file comes in with a bunch of unwanted styles 
(sometimes not even used in the document). Granted, one could import those 
styles and rename & reformat them or map them to existing styles, but that 
isn't how I like to work in many cases. A simple solution is for Adobe put back 
in an option to import as plain text (like the previous import dialog used to 
have). 

Option 1: a working "solution" is to open Word and copy the text. In 
FrameMaker, use the Paste Special menu and choose text. 
Option 2: save the Word file as text and import.
Option 3: go with the flow and map the Word styles to Frame styles, but that 
works best if all writers use styles consistently.

I *always" go with option 2 as Word always has so much crud in the

Maybe Frame is good at leaving that behind, but as a glass half empty kind

Not that I have come across--unless I'm missing something obvious. 

While I appreciate the new Word import feature (it has been in InDesign for
some time), it works best if one is working with experienced Word users who
know how to use styles properly. That is not always the case. 

The problem is when the Word file comes in with a bunch of unwanted styles
(sometimes not even used in the document). Granted, one could import those
styles and rename & reformat them or map them to existing styles, but that
isn't how I like to work in many cases. A simple solution is for Adobe put
back in an option to import as plain text (like the previous import dialog
used to have). 

Option 1: a working "solution" is to open Word and copy the text. In
FrameMaker, use the Paste Special menu and choose text. 
Option 2: save the Word file as text and import.
Option 3: go with the flow and map the Word styles to Frame styles, but that
works best if all writers use styles consistently.

[Framers] OT/PSA for the creative writers on this list

2017-10-02 Thread Tammy Van Boening
Rocky Mountain Mystery Writers of America's First Annual Six-Word Mystery
Contest

"One story. Six words. Good luck!"

While a picture is worth a thousand words, a six-word novel is a brilliant
gem. Enter your six-word mystery in Rocky Mountain Mystery Writers of
America's First Annual Six-Word Mystery Contest.

This contest will be judged by esteemed authors and maybe infamous
scoundrels who will choose the finalists in each category. Finalists will
get to read their entries and have them featured on the RMMWA website;
winners will be voted on by those attending our annual Holiday Party,
December 13, 2017 and announced that evening. Winners will receive valuable
cash prizes and forever be immortalized.

Six-word novels can be entered in one or all five of the following
categories:
. Hard Boiled or Noir
. Cozy
. Thriller
. Police Procedural
. Romance and Lust

Cost to enter is $6 per one entry (that's a mere $1 per word); or $10 to
enter six-word mysteries in all five
categories.

Grand Prize winner will receive $100 in hard, cold cash.

Finalists in other categories will receive valuable gift cards to Tattered
Cover.

According to legend, this whole notion of a six-word novel started in the
1920s when Ernest Hemingway at New
York's Algonquin Hotel or Luchow's restaurant (depending on who you ask) won
a $10 bet by writing a six-word story. His dark and dramatic submission was:
"For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn." Urban legend or no, memorable,
heart-breaking and sublime six-word stories have been penned ever since.
Now's your chance.

Contest is open to all adults 18 and over. No residency requirements.
Entries can be sent between October 1, 2017 and midnight, November 26, 2017.

Re: [Framers] Display full path in FrameMaker book or list of references

2017-07-18 Thread Rick Quatro
Hi Yves,

My PathChanger script will write out all of the absolute paths in a book
(images, cross-references, book components, etc.) to a csv file which can be
opened in Excel. The purpose of the script is to allow you to globally
changed referenced paths in case files get moved, images unresolved, etc.
But you could also use it to view the absolute paths.

Alternatively, a script could be written that could show the absolute path
to a selected image, book component, etc. Let me know what you envision as
the best solution for your problem. Thanks.

I had a faint memory that it's possible to name a single Windows drive with
multiple drive specifiers. In the thread mentioned earlier,

https://forums.adobe.com/thread/767183

I found that Lynne Price mentioned the subst command-line command about a
year ago, and suggested a strategy that might work. I didn't see any
further postings, so it's unclear if they are viable.

Subject: [Framers] Display full path in FrameMaker book or list of references

Hi Framers

If the path to a referenced file is really long, FrameMaker displays ..\ in
the FrameMaker book or ../ in the List of References, for example:

..\..\..\..\..\..\safety.fm in the Fm book

or

../../../../../warning_icon.png

Is there a way to see the full path instead?

Thanks

[Framers] Comprehensive list of fixed bugs/problems wanted

   May I just hook on this: a somewhat comprehensive list of fixed bugs
   would be helpful to honour the effort of the team. And it would be
   helpful also to those (including me) who monitor encountered
   bugs/problems in private lists. Without the 'list of solved bugs' I
   need to test at every new release/update. An excerpt of my private list
   (those starting with OK- have been resolved):

  4066585-Equation-special-spaces

  4109561-Runaround-contour

  4186610-Group-graphics

  Char-style-at-end-of-heading

  FRMAKER-2248-ES-no-SelectAll

  FRMAKER-2406-DistributeGraphic

  OK-3097507-Bottom-frame-indication

  OK-3216032-Jump-back-at-image

  OK-4048225-Shrinkwrapped-frames-pdf

  OK-4120367-Table-Footnote-w-Aframe

   (Unfortuantely?) I have uninstalled the newest version and run the
   beta-built (after realising that it is the same build als the last
   beta: 14.0.0.361). Hence I have lost the "Adobe FrameMaker 2017
   ReadMe.pdf". But in the past I have noticed that this list is not as
   comprehensive as expected - probably to display a 'less buggy' product.

   At one time a got a more complete list from an Adobe developer (during
   the beta test of FM-13).

No need to convert the table to text. Just make sure that each glossary term
is tagged with a unique paragraph format. Yes, it is like any other
generated list; you can have it put the page numbers in it.

GMail routes some posters' (most recently John Sgammato, Jeff
Coatsworth, and Carole McCormick) mail to spam with the message, "Why
is this message in Spam? It has a from address in .com but has
failed .com's required tests for authentication." But
presumably that's not the problem with your email since it doesn't get

Re: [Framers] List of references

The generated lists for a book use the first document in a book for the master 
page and defaults to the Right master page. I'd look there to see if there is 
no text box defined on that master page. If you are creating the generated list 
from a single document, look to that docs Right master page.

Subject: [Framers] List of references

We have master pages in our documents with several text boxes. One for the 
header information, One for the main text flow, and one for the footer 
information. This works well for our documents. The issue is that when we 
create a list of references from one of our documents the list is created in 
the footer text box that only has enough room for one line on a page. This 
document has 67 imported graphics so the document it produces has 67 pages. 
Every other document we have does not do this. Every other document creates the 
list in the main text flow text box and so the document produced would only be 
one page long. I can fix this by importing the page layouts from another 
document. I was just wondering if any of you know what is causing this?
