Framers Template repository? Was: Re: Foxy stuff on master pages
If anyone has one or more templates demonstrating the type of Master pages/Reference pages discussed in the parent subject, if they're not copyrighted, and if you're authorized and willing to disseminate them to the group, would you please store a copy in the Framers' file archive? I would love to study how they're designed, and I suspect others would like to study them as well. Val -- Valerie Lipow [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 8/7/07, Steve Rickaby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Framers In off-group discussions with Angela and others, it's become only too clear that it's possible to create clever stuff on master pages that is obvious to its designer but to no-one else ;-) For example, the auto thumbtabs stuff which came up recently on the group, or anything that involves a template with complex frames on master pages. Because this often involves overlaying transparent objects, it can create a maintenance headache for whoever comes afterwards, as recently witnessed by someone on the group who had to get an expert to fox out how their template was working [that was a thumbtabs thing]. It's real important therefore to document how the template works, if only in a few lines. In the case I'm discussing with Angela, switchable page backgrounds, when the technique is working there are multiple conditionalised anchored frames on a master page, all the same size, all overlaying each other, and with their boundaries and anchors nudged outside the displayed area to create the required crop margins. That sort of thing would be enough to fox anyone. A way to ensure that the description travels around with the template is to add one or more extra reference pages called 'Notes' or somesuch, and put a brief potted description of how the template - or it's more foxy features - operates there. That way the 'docs' can only be lost if someone deliberately deletes the relevant reference page(s). When massing with multiple frames on master pages, it's a lot easier to see what's going on if you give the various frames a temporary - and different - fill pattern and/or colored border. When you've finished dickering with them, you can use the Find anchored frame feature to select them one by one and remove the decorations. I use this when building frames for moving thumbtabs to get the stacking order for the various frames correct. Hope this helps someone. -- Steve ___ ___ 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.
RE: Multiple versions of Acrobat on same system?
That depends on what I'm trying to do. But I suddenly realized why I don't have problems, and it may be the reason others do: I don't have any of the readers installed. I let Acrobat open to read. So it could be that I would have major issues if I tried to install one of the readers here.

FrameMaker 8 Automatic Letter Spacing Broken?
I posted this topic a couple of days ago with no response. Probably I made it too complicated. :) Can someone please tell me if they see the same problem with FM8? 1. Click in a sample body text paragraph. 2. In the Paragraph Designer, set alignment to justified. Extra space is added between words to make the text line reach the right-hand margin. It works as expected. 3. Now, in the Advanced tab of the Paragraph Designer, check the Allow Automatic Letter Spacing checkbox. Some lines in the paragraph jump back from the right-hand margin, and are no longer justified! (You may have to change your zoom level to see it, and it's more obvious in narrow columns than wide ones.) FM applies letter spacing to words on some lines, and those are the lines that lose justification. Justification and Automatic Letter Spacing used to work together. Now, only one or the other works.
