Re: Opening all text insets in all components in a book ... phew!

Hello Hedley, I create a new FrameMaker book (I call it a repository.book) in which I collect all my text insets. I use this repository.book for spell-checking, global changes etc. Admitted, it's a workaround, but it works pretty well. Best regards -- Yves Barbion Technical Writer

Aargh! I've re-instated AdobeStd and AdobePiStd. In my message I also mentioned that I removed the AdobeFnt07.lst file. It seems that this is generated by Acrobat Distiller rather than FrameMaker. Apologies to anyone who has been fruitlessly searching for this file. Phil Heron Technical Writer

Re: table sort order

From what I know you can't. That's the standard ASCII-based sorting. Numbers then characters. When FM sees 5and E together, it treats them like a string. A very rudimentary solution: Maybe you could two columns? The column heading straddles two columns Columns 1 | -Column

CE languages: importing XML in FrameMaker

I've got an XML file in Czech I want to import into FrameMaker. When I import the file, the characters not in FrameMaker's own character set are converted to markers (of type UnknownChar). The content of the marker is #x010C; (for the 010C character, which is a C-caron Č), the code after the

Hedley, Richard, If, indeed, there are many hundreds, you may want to use Framescript to create the books. :-) Note that there's a free FrameScript available: BookOfTextInsets.fsl v1.6 Creates a new temporary book with all (nested) text insets of the current document or book. This

File type has changed (???) when Open Source text inset

All: Following up my previous query re opening all lebenty zillion text inset source files in a book, here is another to tax your brains. I have added an unresolved text inset report to my book and am hunting down each text inset to resolve it. However, most of these text inset source files

Methodology for Source Code Control

Hi Guys, I know this is somewhat off topic, but perhaps the responses will be helpful for others. I've been checking my FrameMaker files in to CVS for source control purposes and just felt the sting of not having used branches. In other words, I've always checked my FrameMaker files right

Opening all text insets in all components in a book ... phew!

All: Some time before IBM released DITA to a puzzled and unsuspecting world, a colleague of mine solved the problem of repurposing/reusing small fragments of content using text insets. Basically, the components of a book consist of shell files that contain nothing but text insets. This

table sort order - SOLVED (functional workaround)

Hi Steve Thanks for the suggestion. Someone else sent me another workaround off-list, which I thought I'd post here to get it into the archive: put an M space in front of each number. This seems illogical but it works. For me, I'm sorting in a "database" document and copying some of the sorted

Opening all text insets in all components in a book ... phew!

One quick amplification regarding your first point: If you make a multi-flow file to hold multiple text inset source chunks, you still have the ability to insert them in any order and in any combination in any container document. Remember that when you do a text inset, you start with File >
