A dual-boot Mac is no use to me, because I need to use a lot of other software *at the same time* as FrameMaker, cross-referencing Excel, mail and so on. One could do this most easily by networking a real PC to the Mac, and running FrameMaker on that. I was at IPEX on Wednesday, the big 4-yearly UK show for the printing and publishing industries, and talked to the people on the Apple stand. Their general view was that Apple had done it because there were a lot of Windows users who wanted to run XP on Apple's 'real cool, superior hardware' [I am quoting here]. I hope this doesn't turn out to be hubris. My concern is that with Apple MacIntels being able to run XP, what is the incentive for Adobe to go on producing *any Mac applications at all*? -- Steve

Shortcuts for equation operators
Hi Framers, some of you may know that you can use shortcuts to insert operators in equations, for example: CTRL+SHIFT+ a letter for the Greek alphabet CTRL+SHIFT+6 for superscript CTRL+q+SHIFT; for a right arrow etc. Does anyone know the shortcut for the following operators: - multiply (x) - subscript (as in "rf", where f is in subscript) Thanks in advance. -- Yves Barbion Technical Writer Adobe-Certified FrameMaker Instructor U&I Learning nv (formerly ATeK nv) Molenaarsstraat 111 B-9000 Gent Belgium Tel.: +32 9 265 74 72 Fax: +32 9 265 74 84 www.uni-learning.com
Problem with the master pages
Sindu, Make sure the text frame on the master page is not "tagged"; that is, make sure it doesn't have a flow name. Select the text frame, and choose Graphics > Object Properties. Clear the Flow Tag field, and uncheck Autoconnect. This should give you the result you want.

generated list of tables, strange behaviour
Dear Framers, We are using FrameMaker6.0+sgml and have a template for the List of Figures, but in the instance of a special publication, we also need a List of Tables. I have taken the List of Figures template and transformed it to serve as a List of Tables and it works very well with one exception: it doesn't get the page numbers right. There is a difference of 1 page number, i.e. the first table is on page 8 and on the List it reads "Table 1 - Title page7" Could anyone please help and tell me where I got it wrong? Our publication is composed of one book containing 12 Frame documents, the generated List of tables and of Figures are the last pages but one. The document is written on both pages left and right and I have made a different setting for these which seems to be working correctly. I have checked and rechecked the documents, all of them start on the right page and have an even number of pages, allowing for a blank page on the left side where necessary. The blank pages are all auto-numbered correctly. When we print to PDF everything is fine, the cross-references work well and the table of contents which lists each first to 3rd level paragraph Title is OK. The List of Figures is correct! Is there a way to tell the List to start with the right page number? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Regardless of this positioning and appearance, the background text frame will be positioned behind the tagged frame on the body page. The fill pattern for the main text frame is most likely solid white - thus opaque - and anything beneath it will be hidden from view. There are two solutions: either you delete the tagged frame from the master page; or you can change the fill pattern of the tagged frame to NONE so it is transparent, thereby allowing the added background frame and its message to be visible. - Lester --- Lester C.

fmPython
Hi all, I had some trouble posting to the list, and first of all, many thanks to Lisa for her administrative help in getting that straightened out. I was *most* impressed to receive an actual phone call (!), a rarity these days. Thanks again, Lisa. So, although this topic may be a bit stale, I thought I would send it along to see if everything is working now. :-) I've used fmPython with FM 7.0 extensively and successfully. I would have preferred FrameScript, but at the time I was working as a lone writer for a start-up, and dollars were scarce. You can place the script (convTI.py) in any convenient location. The procedure that works for me is: 1. Open the FM book you want to work with. 2. Use the FrameMaker File > Open menu command to open the script. The Unknown File Type dialog box appears, with "Text" preselected. 3. Click Convert. The Reading Text File dialog box appears. 4. Select the Treat Each Line as a Paragraph option. 5. Select ASCII encoding. 6. Click Read. The script opens in FrameMaker. 7. Click anywhere in the script to place the cursor in the document. 8. Choose the fmPython > Selection as script menu command. The script is now enabled for PDF processing. 9. With the focus on the book, click the fmPython>Execute script menu command. You can find the script at: http://www.isnet.sk/petrucha/?lang=en&page=scripts Danger, Will Robinson!! I strongly advise that you save a complete backup of all files before you run the script. Why? Because the "Save All Files In Book" menu command is immediately adjacent to the "Close All Files In Book" menu command on the FM File menu. The script opens all files in the book and enables you to convert all of the text insets to plain text. After you run the script, all it takes is a single mis-click to save all of your book files with no text insets. Arg. Do not fool yourself into thinking you will be really careful and do not need to copy the files to the backup location. Take it from someone who has learned the hard way. :-) It isn't a total disaster because you can always re-import the text insets, but it *is* a major waste of time. Thanks, Keith ?

Print quality of graphics rotated in Frame
I have a couple of rotated anchor frames that contain referenced WMFs. It prints fine with my very slow PS printer-driver, but on my usual speedy PCL printer-driver, the print quality is horrific. When I tried to convert to EPS & reference that instead, Frame could not display the graphic. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mary __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Complex context rules
I am in the situation in which I want an element to be able to check whether its *parent* is the first element of *its* parent. Put another way, element A needs to be able to check whether A's parent is the first element of A's grandparent. The on-line struct dev guide (page 135 in FrameMaker 7 version) seems to imply that context rules of the form: If context is: Parent {first} < GrandParent, or If context is: Parent {after Grandparent} < * < SomeOtherAncestor are valid, but I can't get these rule to trigger. Are there any pitfalls here? -- Steve

FrameMaker on Mac
One of the Mac lists (MacFixIt or one of those) noted that if you format the Windows side with FAT32, you can see both partitions from both OSs, but the newer default XP format exceeds the limitations of FAT32, so most users don't bother fighting the default. So, you'd have to use a memory stick or email attachment or external storage of some kind to transfer files, plus, quit and restart OSs. There's a Mac third-party program, MacDrive, I think it's called, that makes Mac-formatted drives visible on Windows. I don't know if it will work with MacTel under Windows. Search Google for it, and ask the manufacturer. Under Virtual PC on Mac, you can work across the OSs, but it's slower.

FrameMaker 7.2 startup problem - authentication?
Hello Greetings Framers, A co-worker of mine is having a problem with FrameMaker startup if she is not logged in to her machine as 'admin.' If anyone has any advice, we would love to hear it. Thanks much, Emily Goodin Boulder, Colo. I am having FrameMaker 7.2 problems. When I log in to our domain/my PC as myself, Frame won't launch. If I log off and log back in as admin, I can use Frame, but don't have access to any other programs. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Our IT guy believes it is a problem in my user profile and is looking into it. Has anyone else experienced this problem or heard about it? I searched the adobe support site and didn't find anything.

Frame Crashing
Hi Guys, I'm having a strange problem that my IT guys tells me is due to a bad interaction between Windows, FrameMaker and RoboHelp. I?m wondering if any of you has seen this and if so, what you've done to correct it. To make a long story short, my Windows Explorer folders are becoming corrupted and crashing FrameMaker when I try to import images by reference. Things generally go okay for a while until I spend a fair amount of time importing several different images. Then all-of-a-sudden, the image folder will decide it just doesn't want to work with FrameMaker any more and it begins crashing (both Explorer windows AND FrameMaker) every time I try to import an image. If I physically move that folder elsewhere, like my desktop for example, it begins working again. But then I've broken all other reference links and I have to start over, which makes this solution unworkable. To date, the only workaround I can come up with is to move the image folder to the desktop, copy the new images in, then move the folder back to its usual spot for archival purposes, should I ever solve this vexing problem. My IT guys blames this on RoboHelp and says FrameMaker, Windows Explorer and RoboHelp don't play nicely together. But I don?t' really believe him. My installation of RoboHelp is working just fine - no problems with it at all - just FrameMaker and Explorer. Any thoughts? Suggestions? I'm on FrameMaker 7.1 with RoboHelp X5.0.1 and Windows XP Professional version 2002, Service Pack 2. Karyn

Are the FM and graphics files local, on a network drive, or mixed? If the network is involved, hiccups there and in the way Windows is reading the network file system would be my first guess.

Karyn, I'd say you're having a hard drive or OS problem. One key is your "Other Oddity" -- that isn't normal behavior for Windows XP. Have you run Norton, checkdisk, or a similar disk utility to check both the media and the operating system (and the file / directory structure) out? And have you backed your files up?

I have a problem that is making me crazy. There are a few seemingly-random table heading cells whose text does not show up in the PDF. * In most cases I cloned the tables, so nothing (much) is different between them, except that one of the table heading cells does not show up in one of these. For all of these the actual cell text is the same in both the good and bad tables. * I have tried restarting the computer and regenerating the PDF, but that does not help. * I tried changing the tags, but that doesn't make any difference. I made sure they are the same as in the cells that show and that does not help. * I tried using the text editing tool in Acrobat, but the text I type in is invisible. * Some headings are straddled, some are not. It doesn't matter some of each are invisible. What is going on here? Thanks Jim Light

Framemaker on Mac
Much more interesting to Mac Framemaker users than Apple's Boot Camp are Parallels' XP emulator (now shipping beta) and -- especially -- the Open Source project for something called "Darwine". Based on Wine, a Linux project, Darwine will allow a user to run a Windows application under OS X. Not only don't you not boot Windows, you don't even buy it. I have no idea how stable this will be, or whether Wine works well on Linux, and of course there will be glitches, but the concept is remarkable. Think of the ramifications: my guess is that many Windows users love their aps not their OS. And if Darwine beats Vista to market.

Anchored frames position
I have white space on the left side of book. When I import a graphic, I want the anchored frame to be centered below the line, but centered within the margins of the text, not to the page size. For example, if I have 2 inches of white space on the left side, 4 inches of text, and a 2 inch graphic, I want the anchored Frame to span from 3 inches in to 5 inches. How do I do this? I don't want to have to set this for each frame. I want the Below Current Line feature to look at the paragraph tag, see what the margins are and center it according to that. I tried applying a paragraph style to it but it didn't work.

Vanishing Table Heading Cells
The text is fine in FM. The properties of the text in the PDF are the same for the invisible text as for the visible text. (!!!) I tried re-importing table definitions, but that didn't help. I copied the text to a new template and that didn't help. I made a copy of a good table and copied the body rows into it. (These tables have the same heading rows, so I can use a good one and just change the body rows). This worked twice and then it didn't work. About half of my table collection has this weird problem. At this point I am copying a good one and using it to recreate a bad one over and over until they are all OK. What on Earth is going on???

Anchored frames position
I believe our Graphfix plug-in will do what you want, if I read you correctly. Download the trial version of the plug-in from our website (www.seatechpubs.com). Choose "Services," choose "Plug-ins," and then, look for the download link for the Graphfix plug-in. Contact me if you need a Mac version. After you install the plug-in, try the following procedure (please forgive me for improper software documentation techniques, I'm a gearhead): 1. If you are using structured Frame, place the insertion point at a valid graphic insertion point in the structure view. Note: the plug-in will allow you to insert elements in invalid places. For unstructured Frame, place your curser where you want the graphic. 2. Perform the following shortcut: esc = i. This shortcut is case sensitive. 3. If you are using structured Frame, choose an element tag from the drop-down box. (The plug-in parses your EDD and determines the valid graphic elements.) Skip this step if you are using unstructured Frame. 4. Choose "Below Current Line" from the anchoring position drop-down box. 5. Choose "Center" from the alignment drop-down box. 6. Check the "Floating" box. 7. Click on the "Change" radio button to change the current frame configuration settings. (Default frame configuration settings can be changed under the "Graphfix" menu. Changing the default settings in the plug-in has no effect on the FrameMaker default settings.) 8. Choose the "Custom" radio button, and enter your desired the width and height. (I would suggest you try other settings to find the best for you.) 9. Change other configuration settings to your liking. 10. Choose the "Set" button. 11. Choose the insert button, and navigate to the graphic you want to insert. 12. Choose the graphic. The plug-in should place the graphic is where you want it. You may need to play around with the settings a little. I'm not sure how your template is set up. Once you have set your defaults, the plug-in remembers the next time you insert a graphic. I hope this helps. Regards, Robert Stoker Seatech Publications, Inc.

Robert Stoker's plug-in may do it for you, but may I suggest a different approach? Create a new pgf format called, for instance, FrameAnchorCentered. Define as centered, make sure line spacing is NOT fixed, and specify the space above and below to put the frame where you want. Then put your anchored frames into FrameAnchorCentered pgfs using the At Insertion Point setting (instead of Below Current Line). By putting each anchored frame into its own pgf, instead of anchoring in the text pgf preceding it, you'll have much better control over spacing, pagination, etc. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.

Frame Crashing
Back in 1987 I had been using Framemaker for a couple of years, when a new version came out that included a networking feature. I tried using it, and found that everything had slowed to a crawl. I sent off a blistering review of the new product to Framemaker, and got an email back a few days later from the president of the company, apologizing for our troubles, expressing surprise, and suggesting some experiments to try to pinpoint the problem. The first experiment showed that it was our own (new) network causing the problem. I sent a contrite "whoops, never mind" to Framemaker. Had this been a Windows network (impossible in 1987, yeah I know) I would have suspected that right away...-BobC -Original Message- From: framers-bounces+bob.colwell=comcast@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+bob.colwell=comcast.net at lists.frameusers.com]On Behalf Of Art Campbell Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 10:22 AM To: Karyn Hunt Cc: framers Subject: Re: Frame Crashing Are the FM and graphics files local, on a network drive, or mixed?

Changing Attribute Types
Changing attribute types: Frame 7.0 Structured Developer's guide states that without a Read/Write rule, Frame changes all NMTOKENS attribute types to Strings on import then changes all Strings attribute types to CDATA types on export (pages 248-249).

A dual-boot Mac is no use to me, because I need to use a lot of other software *at the same time* as FrameMaker, cross-referencing Excel, mail and so on. One could do this most easily by networking a real PC to the Mac, and running FrameMaker on that. I was at IPEX on Wednesday, the big 4-yearly UK show for the printing and publishing industries, and talked to the people on the Apple stand. Their general view was that Apple had done it because there were a lot of Windows users who wanted to run XP on Apple's 'real cool, superior hardware' [I am quoting here]. I hope this doesn't turn out to be hubris.

generated list of tables, strange behaviour
Dear Framers, We are using FrameMaker6.0+sgml and have a template for the List of Figures, but in the instance of a special publication, we also need a List of Tables. I have taken the List of Figures template and transformed it to serve as a List of Tables and it works very well with one exception: it doesn't get the page numbers right. There is a difference of 1 page number, i.e. the first table is on page 8 and on the List it reads "Table 1 - Title page7" Could anyone please help and tell me where I got it wrong? Our publication is composed of one book containing 12 Frame documents, the generated List of tables and of Figures are the last pages but one. The document is written on both pages left and right and I have made a different setting for these which seems to be working correctly. I have checked and rechecked the documents, all of them start on the right page and have an even number of pages, allowing for a blank page on the left side where necessary. The blank pages are all auto-numbered correctly. When we print to PDF everything is fine, the cross-references work well and the table of contents which lists each first to 3rd level paragraph Title is OK. The List of Figures is correct! Is there a way to tell the List to start with the right page number? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Regardless of this positioning and appearance, the background text frame will be positioned behind the tagged frame on the body page. The fill pattern for the main text frame is most likely solid white - thus opaque - and anything beneath it will be hidden from view. There are two solutions: either you delete the tagged frame from the master page; or you can change the fill pattern of the tagged frame to NONE so it is transparent, thereby allowing the added background frame and its message to be visible. - Lester --- Lester C.

I would have preferred FrameScript, but at the time I was working as a lone writer for a start-up, and dollars were scarce. You can place the script (convTI.py) in any convenient location. The procedure that works for me is: 1. Open the FM book you want to work with. 2. Use the FrameMaker File > Open menu command to open the script. The Unknown File Type dialog box appears, with "Text" preselected. 3. Click Convert. The Reading Text File dialog box appears. 4. Select the Treat Each Line as a Paragraph option. 5. Select ASCII encoding. 6. Click Read. The script opens in FrameMaker. 7. Click anywhere in the script to place the cursor in the document. 8. Choose the fmPython > Selection as script menu command. The script is now enabled for PDF processing. 9. With the focus on the book, click the fmPython>Execute script menu command. You can find the script at: http://www.isnet.sk/petrucha/?lang=en&page=scripts Danger, Will Robinson!! I strongly advise that you save a complete backup of all files before you run the script. Why? Because the "Save All Files In Book" menu command is immediately adjacent to the "Close All Files In Book" menu command on the FM File menu. The script opens all files in the book and enables you to convert all of the text insets to plain text. After you run the script, all it takes is a single mis-click to save all of your book files with no text insets. Arg. Do not fool yourself into thinking you will be really careful and do not need to copy the files to the backup location. Take it from someone who has learned the hard way. :-) It isn't a total disaster because you can always re-import the text insets, but it *is* a major waste of time.

Complex context rules
I am in the situation in which I want an element to be able to check whether its *parent* is the first element of *its* parent. Put another way, element A needs to be able to check whether A's parent is the first element of A's grandparent. The on-line struct dev guide (page 135 in FrameMaker 7 version) seems to imply that context rules of the form: If context is: Parent {first} < GrandParent, or If context is: Parent {after Grandparent} < * < SomeOtherAncestor are valid, but I can't get these rule to trigger.

Re: FrameMaker on Mac
One of the Mac lists (MacFixIt or one of those) noted that if you format the Windows side with FAT32, you can see both partitions from both OSs, but the newer default XP format exceeds the limitations of FAT32, so most users don't bother fighting the default. So, you'd have to use a memory stick or email attachment or external storage of some kind to transfer files, plus, quit and restart OSs. There's a Mac third-party program, MacDrive, I think it's called, that makes Mac-formatted drives visible on Windows. I don't know if it will work with MacTel under Windows. Search Google for it, and ask the manufacturer. Under Virtual PC on Mac, you can work across the OSs, but it's slower.

FrameMaker 7.2 startup problem - authentication?
Hello Greetings Framers, A co-worker of mine is having a problem with FrameMaker startup if she is not logged in to her machine as 'admin.' If anyone has any advice, we would love to hear it. Thanks much, Emily Goodin Boulder, Colo. I am having FrameMaker 7.2 problems. When I log in to our domain/my PC as myself, Frame won't launch. If I log off and log back in as admin, I can use Frame, but don't have access to any other programs. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Our IT guy believes it is a problem in my user profile and is looking into it. Has anyone else experienced this problem or heard about it? I searched the adobe support site and didn't find anything.

Frame Crashing
Hi Guys, I'm having a strange problem that my IT guys tells me is due to a bad interaction between Windows, FrameMaker and RoboHelp. Im wondering if any of you has seen this and if so, what you've done to correct it. To make a long story short, my Windows Explorer folders are becoming corrupted and crashing FrameMaker when I try to import images by reference. Things generally go okay for a while until I spend a fair amount of time importing several different images. Then all-of-a-sudden, the image folder will decide it just doesn't want to work with FrameMaker any more and it begins crashing (both Explorer windows AND FrameMaker) every time I try to import an image. If I physically move that folder elsewhere, like my desktop for example, it begins working again. But then I've broken all other reference links and I have to start over, which makes this solution unworkable. To date, the only workaround I can come up with is to move the image folder to the desktop, copy the new images in, then move the folder back to its usual spot for archival purposes, should I ever solve this vexing problem. My IT guys blames this on RoboHelp and says FrameMaker, Windows Explorer and RoboHelp don't play nicely together. But I dont' really believe him. My installation of RoboHelp is working just fine - no problems with it at all - just FrameMaker and Explorer. Any thoughts? Suggestions? I'm on FrameMaker 7.1 with RoboHelp X5.0.1 and Windows XP Professional version 2002, Service Pack 2.

Karyn, I'd say you're having a hard drive or OS problem. One key is your "Other Oddity" -- that isn't normal behavior for Windows XP.

I made sure they are the same as in the cells that show and that does not help. * I tried using the text editing tool in Acrobat, but the text I type in is invisible. * Some headings are straddled, some are not.

Framemaker on Mac
Much more interesting to Mac Framemaker users than Apple's Boot Camp are Parallels' XP emulator (now shipping beta) and -- especially -- the Open Source project for something called "Darwine". Based on Wine, a Linux project, Darwine will allow a user to run a Windows application under OS X. Not only don't you not boot Windows, you don't even buy it. I have no idea how stable this will be, or whether Wine works well on Linux, and of course there will be glitches, but the concept is remarkable. Think of the ramifications: my guess is that many Windows users love their aps not their OS. And if Darwine beats Vista to market.

Updating text with new paragraph tag settings
Hi All, I have some very old chapters from some very old books that Im selectively copying and pasting into some new books. The new books have slightly different character tag settings (different indents and line spacing) so Im importing the new formats into all the old chapters as I copy them in to the new books. Problem is, this old book had a whole lot of overrides and when I see the paragraph tags in the new book (in the paragraph tag field on the menu), the tag names have asterisks next to and have not yet picked up the new settings. So Im having to go back and select each chunk of text and re-tag it with the same tag to make it pick up the new settings. Is there some shortcut to quickly update them all at once? Im in Frame 7.1.

Re: Updating text with new paragraph tag settings
Try File > Import > Formats, and select paragraph and character tags, imported from Current. Then select the check box for When Importing, Remove Other Format/Layout Overrides. That should do what you want. martha At 02:41 PM 4/7/2006, Karyn Hunt wrote: I have some very old chapters from some very old books that I'm selectively copying and pasting into some new books.

Anchored frames position
I have white space on the left side of book. When I import a graphic, I want the anchored frame to be centered below the line, but centered within the margins of the text, not to the page size. For example, if I have 2 inches of white space on the left side, 4 inches of text, and a 2 inch graphic, I want the anchored Frame to span from 3 inches in to 5 inches. How do I do this? I don't want to have to set this for each frame. I want the Below Current Line feature to look at the paragraph tag, see what the margins are and center it according to that. I tried applying a paragraph style to it but it didn't work.

Vanishing Table Heading Cells
The text is fine in FM. The properties of the text in the PDF are the same for the invisible text as for the visible text. (!!!) I tried re-importing table definitions, but that didn't help. I copied the text to a new template and that didn't help. I made a copy of a good table and copied the body rows into it. (These tables have the same heading rows, so I can use a good one and just change the body rows). This worked twice and then it didn't work. About half of my table collection has this weird problem. At this point I am copying a good one and using it to recreate a bad one over and over until they are all OK. What on Earth is going on???

Anchored frames position
I believe our Graphfix plug-in will do what you want, if I read you correctly. Download the trial version of the plug-in from our website (www.seatechpubs.com). Choose "Services," choose "Plug-ins," and then, look for the download link for the Graphfix plug-in. Contact me if you need a Mac version. After you install the plug-in, try the following procedure (please forgive me for improper software documentation techniques, I'm a gearhead): 1. If you are using structured Frame, place the insertion point at a valid graphic insertion point in the structure view. Note: the plug-in will allow you to insert elements in invalid places. For unstructured Frame, place your curser where you want the graphic. 2. Perform the following shortcut: esc = i. This shortcut is case sensitive. 3. If you are using structured Frame, choose an element tag from the drop-down box. (The plug-in parses your EDD and determines the valid graphic elements.) Skip this step if you are using unstructured Frame. 4. Choose "Below Current Line" from the anchoring position drop-down box. 5. Choose "Center" from the alignment drop-down box. 6. Check the "Floating" box. 7. Click on the "Change" radio button to change the current frame configuration settings. (Default frame configuration settings can be changed under the "Graphfix" menu. Changing the default settings in the plug-in has no effect on the FrameMaker default settings.) 8. Choose the "Custom" radio button, and enter your desired the width and height. (I would suggest you try other settings to find the best for you.) 9. Change other configuration settings to your liking. 10. Choose the "Set" button. 11. Choose the insert button, and navigate to the graphic you want to insert. 12. Choose the graphic. The plug-in should place the graphic is where you want it. You may need to play around with the settings a little. I'm not sure how your template is set up. Once you have set your defaults, the plug-in remembers the next time you insert a graphic. I hope this helps. Regards, Robert Stoker Seatech Publications, Inc.

Robert Stoker's plug-in may do it for you, but may I suggest a different approach? Create a new pgf format called, for instance, FrameAnchorCentered. Define as centered, make sure line spacing is NOT fixed, and specify the space above and below to put the frame where you want. Then put your anchored frames into FrameAnchorCentered pgfs using the At Insertion Point setting (instead of Below Current Line). By putting each anchored frame into its own pgf, instead of anchoring in the text pgf preceding it, you'll have much better control over spacing, pagination, etc. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.

RE: Frame Crashing
Back in 1987 I had been using Framemaker for a couple of years, when a new version came out that included a networking feature. I tried using it, and found that everything had slowed to a crawl. I sent off a blistering review of the new product to Framemaker, and got an email back a few days later from the president of the company, apologizing for our troubles, expressing surprise, and suggesting some experiments to try to pinpoint the problem. The first experiment showed that it was our own (new) network causing the problem. I sent a contrite "whoops, never mind" to Framemaker. Had this been a Windows network (impossible in 1987, yeah I know) I would have suspected that right away...-BobC -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Art Campbell Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 10:22 AM To: Karyn Hunt Cc: framers Subject: Re: Frame Crashing Are the FM and graphics files local, on a network drive, or mixed?

Changing Attribute Types
Changing attribute types: Frame 7.0 Structured Developer's guide states that without a Read/Write rule, Frame changes all NMTOKENS attribute types to Strings on import then changes all Strings attribute types to CDATA types on export (pages 248-249). I need to ensure certain attribute values are NMTOKENS type on export but I can't get the following argument (from page 425) to work in my R/W rules: nmtokens attribute "Role" is fm Strings attribute; Any ideas?
