data reuse in structured FM...
Hi Elisa, First of all, Lynne's answer is good and I have only one thing to add: Inset Plus (http://www.weststreetconsulting.com/WSC_InsetPlus.htm) It's been a great plug in. That and the Sourcerer (www.advantica.biz/sourcerer), to filter attributes are great and get away from Frame's conditional text limitations, have been wonder tools. If there are enough frameusers in France who would like Russ to come over and speak or do a workshop, I bet we could twist his arm - answer me off-list. (secretary at stcfrance.org) Russ, if you are reading this, tell me how much twisting it would take ;-) Regards, Ellen Lebelle KDS -- Forwarded message -- From: "Elisabeth SABOT" < esa...@talend.com> To: Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2006 16:14:26 +0200 Subject: data reuse in structured FM...

Elisa, A text inset cannot consist of part of a flow. Instead, create a new flow containing only the reusable portion and import it into both sections. This flow can be the main flow of a new document, a body flow of a new document, or a reference flow in the document you are editing or another one. Since you can create multiple body flows or reference flows in one document, you have the option of storing all text insets in one document. Just remember that if you use reference flows of the containing document, you'll need to save it before importing the text insets. A structured text inset must have a root element. You might therefore want your EDD to define an element that can contain part of a section. For example, suppose you want a Section to contain a Title and then four Paragraph elements of which the three last ones are to be in a text inset. You might define an element called TextInset that can contain all of the children of a Section (except possibly the Title). You would then create a flow containing a TextInset element with the three reusable Paragraphs, and the section with the text inset would consist of the Title, the first Paragraph, and the imported TextInset. --Lynne Lynne A.

equation issue: size of parentheses and brackets
Hi framers Frame7.1p116 WinXPsp2 How can I adjust the size of parenthese and brackets in an equation? A colleague asked for help in building an equation. It was fairly easy, but the expression had subscripted and superscripted items, as well as a fraction structure, so it was rather high and extended beyond the top of the parentheses. The font sizes are just right elsewhere, so I cannot change them - font size changes are global (right?). There was also an Epsilon with a bracket. There were only 2 variables in the bracket stacked on top of each other, and they, too, extended over the top of the bracket. The result was acceptable, but I want to know for the future. How to fix or tweak? Thanks. regards, Karen Mardahl

Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
Folks I have a client in Ireland who wants the Euro symbol to show up in their pricing. So it should look like (Euro symbol)Price. The problem is when we import the tab file from our filemaker database into Frame it changes the Euro symbol to a (Latin Captial Letter A with Diaeresis or the Captial A with two dots over the top of it)Price. Is there a way to get a paragraph tag to convert the "A with two dots" to a euro symbol automatically? Is there a different code we should be using in the tab file to tell frame to understand this character as a Euro symbol? I can add the euro symbol to a paragraph tag but I get the (Euro symbol)(Latin Captial Letter A with Diaeresis or the Captial A with two dots over the top of it) then the price. I know you can globally replace the symbol(s) with edit and change, but the client doesn't want to do that. Any help would be appreciated. Windows, Frame 7.2.

Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
You must have a font that supports the Alt+0128 when you enter the Alt code. I just tried it with Helvetica Neue and it works just fine. In your tab file, find the first instance and make the change manually. Then copy what you manually did to the clipboard and globally search for the wrong character and replace with what's on your clipboard. -Original Message- From: framers-bounces+david.spreadbury=tellabs@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+david.spreadbury=tellabs.com at lists.frameusers.co m] On Behalf Of Scott White Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 1:16 PM To: Gillian Flato Cc: Framers Subject: Re: Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame Thanks Gillian but that is not it.

If we import the dollar >symbol it displays just fine in Frame. Scott - you are seeing a classic font mapping problem. First off, no font can display a Euro symbol if it doesn't *have* a Euro symbol. Forgive me for stating the obvious. Secondly, if font A does have a Euro symbol, there is no guarantee that another font, or the same font on another platform, will have the Euro symbol at the same ASCII value. What seems to be happening here is that your database uses one ASCII value for the Euro, but when that's expressed in FrameMaker with font X, or whatever, that ASCII value is mapping to the A-umlaut. Not helpful for you. I expect the script experts here can come up with a solution based on massaging the MIF, or something. If it were only a FrameMaker Platform A to FrameMaker Platform B issue, I'd suggest a character tag that mapped to a Euro font (that's a font that consists only of Euro characters) to lock it down. Just looking at Arial here on a Mac, A-umlaut is ASCI 128 and the Euro is ASCII 219. However, on a PC it's probably different. Re-reading the above, I see that I haven't offered solution. Sorry. -- Steve
Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
Does the data in the database actually include the Euro symbol or does the database contain only the numerical values? In other words, is the Euro symbol added as formatting when the database produces the export file that you're importing into FrameMaker? If so, my recommendation would be to export just the numerical data, and apply the Euro symbol as autonumbering that is attached to the paragraph tag you use for the price. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Re: Importing images from a CAD system
They are listed on the import file menu, but you may run into some memory and translation issues if they're really large files. If you do, I've had AutoCAD guys generate a .pdf and used that both because it's a direct import and because it's vector. Much better result if you have them generate a .PDF and import that than if you convert to a non-vector format like ,jpg.

Importing images from a CAD system
We never directly use DXF files. We first clean up the DXF file in Canvas (or Illustrator), and then save the file as EPS. This way we get rid of the bulk of the DXF format but keep the vectors. During the process, we don't resize the file to the final output size. Rather, we use a plug-in that we developed to import the EPS file into a standard frame. The plug-in automatically sizes and centers the file in the anchored frame. Here are a few things to remember when you work with DXF files: -You may need to delete proprietary information from the file. The file may contain supplier information, manufacturing information, etc. that you don't want to publish. -You will need to bump up the line weights. The lines come in as hairlines. Hairlines don't print very well. We usually bump the lines to 0.5 pt. -You may need to replace the text. The text is converted to paths during the DXF export (at least from ProE). Sometimes the text spacing and placement is destroyed during the export. Also, when you increase the line weight, the stroke of the text paths is increased.

Your hardware tech writers are -- how shall I put this? -- graphically challenged. They convert a *scaleable_vector_drawing* into a bitmapped image (and the worst possible format of bitmapped image for a line drawing, the format they should use only for photos), and then they *scale* the *bitmap*?? I don't work with CAD drawings, so I don't know much about this. I know DXF files are ASCII text, so file size can be pretty big. But if file size is really an issue, surely there are better solutions than converting them to JPEGs. Richard -- Richard G.

RE: Importing images from a CAD system
I am in the process of educating the engineers I work with over this issue. They are in the habit of giving me a JPEG image when I request a line drawing. JPEG was never intended for anything other than continuous tone images. When a line drawing gets exported to a JPEG, the line quality suffers horribly. I ask them to export to CGM, which I import into Adobe Illustrator and convert to either EPS or leave as a native AI file. The resulting file can then be imported into Frame just fine and I don't lose on the line quality or scalability.

Elisa, A text inset cannot consist of part of a flow. Instead, create a new flow containing only the reusable portion and import it into both sections. This flow can be the main flow of a new document, a body flow of a new document, or a reference flow in the document you are editing or another one. Since you can create multiple body flows or reference flows in one document, you have the option of storing all text insets in one document. Just remember that if you use reference flows of the containing document, you'll need to save it before importing the text insets. A structured text inset must have a root element. You might therefore want your EDD to define an element that can contain part of a section. For example, suppose you want a Section to contain a Title and then four Paragraph elements of which the three last ones are to be in a text inset. You might define an element called TextInset that can contain all of the children of a Section (except possibly the Title). You would then create a flow containing a TextInset element with the three reusable Paragraphs, and the section with the text inset would consist of the Title, the first Paragraph, and the imported TextInset. --Lynne Lynne A.

Valid Hyperlinks in Single-Source Documentation
I'm a relative newcomer to Frame (7.1 with Win XP SP2), and I'm embarking on the next phase of my FM learning curve -- experimenting with its single-source capabilities by starting to reuse chapters with little or no changes from one manual we produce to the next. When I generate the PDF, I notice that the internal hyperlinks break when they point to sections in the reused chapters. I want our users to navigate seamlessly within the PDF so that the links take them from point to point within and between chapters. Is there a practical, relatively painless way to do this short of searching for and manually validating/updating every cross-reference within FM and/or the PDF? ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

I have never been very familiar with text insets but I thought this could be the right solution for this...But I am unable to import a specific part of a data flow from one section to another in the same FM file... anyone can help me on this? Maybe the text inset option isn't the right solution for this, as it is structured document? I hope my question isn't to messy.

equation issue: size of parentheses and brackets
Hi framers Frame7.1p116 WinXPsp2 How can I adjust the size of parenthese and brackets in an equation? A colleague asked for help in building an equation. It was fairly easy, but the expression had subscripted and superscripted items, as well as a fraction structure, so it was rather high and extended beyond the top of the parentheses. The font sizes are just right elsewhere, so I cannot change them - font size changes are global (right?). There was also an Epsilon with a bracket. There were only 2 variables in the bracket stacked on top of each other, and they, too, extended over the top of the bracket. The result was acceptable, but I want to know for the future. How to fix or tweak?

Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
Folks I have a client in Ireland who wants the Euro symbol to show up in their pricing. So it should look like (Euro symbol)Price. The problem is when we import the tab file from our filemaker database into Frame it changes the Euro symbol to a (Latin Captial Letter A with Diaeresis or the Captial A with two dots over the top of it)Price. Is there a way to get a paragraph tag to convert the "A with two dots" to a euro symbol automatically? Is there a different code we should be using in the tab file to tell frame to understand this character as a Euro symbol? I can add the euro symbol to a paragraph tag but I get the (Euro symbol)(Latin Captial Letter A with Diaeresis or the Captial A with two dots over the top of it) then the price. I know you can globally replace the symbol(s) with edit and change, but the client doesn't want to do that. Any help would be appreciated. Windows, Frame 7.2.

RE: Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
You must have a font that supports the Alt+0128 when you enter the Alt code. I just tried it with Helvetica Neue and it works just fine. In your tab file, find the first instance and make the change manually.

If we import the dollar >symbol it displays just fine in Frame. Scott - you are seeing a classic font mapping problem. First off, no font can display a Euro symbol if it doesn't *have* a Euro symbol. Forgive me for stating the obvious. Secondly, if font A does have a Euro symbol, there is no guarantee that another font, or the same font on another platform, will have the Euro symbol at the same ASCII value. What seems to be happening here is that your database uses one ASCII value for the Euro, but when that's expressed in FrameMaker with font X, or whatever, that ASCII value is mapping to the A-umlaut. Not helpful for you. I expect the script experts here can come up with a solution based on massaging the MIF, or something. If it were only a FrameMaker Platform A to FrameMaker Platform B issue, I'd suggest a character tag that mapped to a Euro font (that's a font that consists only of Euro characters) to lock it down. Just looking at Arial here on a Mac, A-umlaut is ASCI 128 and the Euro is ASCII 219. However, on a PC it's probably different. Re-reading the above, I see that I haven't offered solution.

RE: Getting the Euro Symbol in Frame
Does the data in the database actually include the Euro symbol or does the database contain only the numerical values? In other words, is the Euro symbol added as formatting when the database produces the export file that you're importing into FrameMaker? If so, my recommendation would be to export just the numerical data, and apply the Euro symbol as autonumbering that is attached to the paragraph tag you use for the price. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
