Subject: creating a table with row headings instead of column headings

[Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp]

Hi Ben, 

To make a table with (repeating) row headers you can use a rotated frame,
create  table and rotate the text. In fact you turn the tabel (90 degrees)
and use rotated the text (-90 degrees) so the display will be 'normal'.
You could make a special master page with a rotated text frame to hold the
table and maintain table continuation.

ePublisher AutoMap can do this, of course. However, for this

You do need to install the plugin DLLs, m*.dll, in your
\frame\fminit\plugins dir, because runfm uses them to
communicate with Frame.  You also need to put runfm.exe
in your \windows\system32 dir, but you don't need to
install anything else.  The documentation for runfm is
in Chapter 34, Converting via runfm, of the User's 
Guide, which is downloadable in a dozen formats on the
same page above.

but the e-mail functionality would be very nice to have.

Note that since you normally invoke runfm from a .bat,
you can readily add any other system commands you please 
to the process.  I'd be surprised if there wasn't a free

Re: Sorting: Ignoring periods

Hi, Darren:

Have you tried specifying the sort order with square brackets in each
index marker? For example:

Heidi Chronicles.[Heidi Chronicles]
Heidi.[Heidi]

etc.

Markerworker is a free marker editing tool from cudspan. Search Google
for: markerworker cudspan

Re: Sorting: Ignoring periods

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Darren,

Instead of a list of paragraphs, you could use FrameScript to insert a 
custom marker in each of these paragraphs. The custom marker would have the 
paragraph's text, but it would have the sort string in square brackets 
without the period. The script could be run on the entire book, making it 
virtually automatic; or it could run automatically whenever you update the 
book and generate the index.

PDF file-to-file cross references

[Kelly McDaniel]

FrameMaker 8

Win32 XP

 

Have 9 FM8 books.

Produce PDF only.

I want to create a cross-reference from a topic in one book to a topic
in another.

 

I have attempted to create xbook xrefs using HTTP directory level
indicators and failed.

It appears there is a requirement to use the full path in the xref.

 

Problem:

1.  The install path is always different from my development path.
2.  We offer the user an opportunity at install time to install the
application in a dir of their choice.

 

Solution:

Relative pathing or something I haven't yet tried.

 

Any ideas?...tnx, Kelly.

Why don't you just replace the period with a tiny graphic that looks

Fred Ridder insisted:  I'm still not sure I understand why the index
entries use a period in the
first place. I have never seen an index that uses that punctuation 
convention.

*whap-to-da-forehead*
I failed to realized that the customer is not generating a true index
(IX) but an alpha list of paragraphs. That resulting list is named
index within the document. You'd think the *.APL file extension would
have given me a clue.. ;^) 
Their template has both IX and APL entries in the ref page. 
It's too late in the workflow to go back and add index markers in the
doc; so I guess they're stuck with hand-fixing the APL?

'Thanx Fred, I couldn't see the forest for the trees.

'Thanx also to Peter Gold. That was the right answer, I was asking the
wrong question.

'Thanx to RickScript Quatro. Where would I be without duct tape, the

Hi Nancy,

FrameMaker is fairly limited in the wildcards it has for finding text. To do 
regular expression finds, you can use FrameScript, which is a third-party 
scripting environment for FrameMaker (http://www.framescript.com).

RE: creating a table with row headings instead of column headings

Thanks, Wim, Fred and Ann.

This was mainly about being able to create a template table type with column 1

Believe that I now have a some alternatives for doing this.

 Seems simple enough but cannot find anything in Table Designer 

 for creating a table with row headings instead of column headings 

 (i.e. all the headings appear in column 1).

 

The only functional difference between a heading row and a body row

is that heading rows are repeated on any subsequent pages that the 

table extends onto. There is no corresponding need for row headings

to repeat, so there is no mechanism for marking a heading column

as being any differerent than a body column. Yes, the formatting 

wants to be different, but that's just a matter of applying an 

appropriate paragraph tag.

Ah, well, if that's all you are trying to accomplish, it's very easy.
Just use the Shading tab of the Table Designer. In the Body Shading
box, choose Shade By Columns, and set the first 1 column to the 
shading you want and the Next 99 columns to no shading. Then
either define it as a new named format or click Update All to save
it as part of the current format's definition.

RE: Sorting: Ignoring periods

[Robert Evans]

Hi Darren,

I'm not sure if you've fixed your problem yet - I think I may not have
received all the posts, but, if you're working on an APL (and not an
IX), then all you need to do is add a space AND a period to your
IgnoreCharsAPL paragraph on the APL Reference page. 

Once gotcha is that the space cannot go at the end of the paragraph. I
put space  . at the start, and it sorted in the way you wanted.

Regards

Rob Evans

Could you tell us which version of frameMaker you are using and

Subject: creating a table with row headings instead of column headings

[Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp]

Hi Ben, 

To make a table with (repeating) row headers you can use a rotated frame,
create  table and rotate the text. In fact you turn the tabel (90 degrees)
and use rotated the text (-90 degrees) so the display will be 'normal'.
You could make a special master page with a rotated text frame to hold the
table and maintain table continuation.

Hi, Darren:

Have you tried specifying the sort order with square brackets in each
index marker? For example:

Heidi Chronicles.[Heidi Chronicles]
Heidi.[Heidi]

etc.

Markerworker is a free marker editing tool from cudspan. Search Google
for: markerworker cudspan

Sorting: Ignoring periods

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Darren,

Instead of a list of paragraphs, you could use FrameScript to insert a 
custom marker in each of these paragraphs. The custom marker would have the 
paragraph's text, but it would have the sort string in square brackets 
without the period. The script could be run on the entire book, making it 
virtually automatic; or it could run automatically whenever you update the 
book and generate the index.

PDF file-to-file cross references

[Kelly McDaniel]

FrameMaker 8

Win32 XP



Have 9 FM8 books.

Produce PDF only.

I want to create a cross-reference from a topic in one book to a topic
in another.



I have attempted to create xbook xrefs using HTTP directory level
indicators and failed.

It appears there is a requirement to use the full path in the xref.



Problem:

1.  The install path is always different from my development path.
2.  We offer the user an opportunity at install time to install the
application in a dir of their choice.



Solution:

Relative pathing or something I haven't yet tried.



Any ideas?...tnx, Kelly.

Sorting: Ignoring periods

Why don't you just replace the period with a tiny graphic that looks 
like a period. You could put it on your reference page.

Not the cleanest solution, but it's original :)

I'm still not sure I understand why the index entries use a period in the
first place. I have never seen an index that uses that punctuation 
convention. 

But assuming that the intent is that *every* index entry ends in a period,
I would include it in the index specifications on the IX reference page of
the index file rather than including it in each and every index entry marker,
since a missing period in a marker (which can happen quite easily) would 
result in a second, unpunctuated entry in the compiled index. Just go to 
the IX reference page and find the SeparatorsIX paragraph. Add a period 
(or whetever other character you want to use as an entry terminator) 
at the very start of the paragraph, before the separator space. Then
regenerate the index.

Search for random characters

[Nancy Allison]

  Several people have suggested that I search for

\plogo.bmp

As I feared, this technique finds only this:

warning.bmp 6 \p
logo.bmp @ 1400 dpi 7 \p
note2.bmp @ 950 dpi 7 \p

(If you display your email in simple text, you can't see the letters I 
have put in red.)

I have typed in the \p (return character), which of course does not 
actually print on the page, so you will see what I mean.

I am trying to select

logo.bmp [whatever appears here] \p

Surely Frame enables us to do this! It is such a basic search function!

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Nancy,

FrameMaker is fairly limited in the wildcards it has for finding text. To do 
"regular expression" finds, you can use FrameScript, which is a third-party 
scripting environment for FrameMaker (http://www.framescript.com).

creating a table with row headings instead of column headings

[Ben Hechter]

Thanks, Wim, Fred and Ann.

This was mainly about being able to create a template table type with column 1 
automatically shaded for row headings (without having to use custom shading 
overrides). 

Believe that I now have a some alternatives for doing this.

Cheers,

Ben

The only functional difference between a heading row and a body row

is that heading rows are repeated on any subsequent pages that?the 

table extends onto. There is no corresponding need for row headings

to repeat, so there is no mechanism for marking a heading column

as being any differerent than a body column. Yes, the formatting 

wants to be different, but that's just a matter of applying an 

appropriate paragraph tag.

Ah, well, if that's all you are trying to accomplish, it's very easy.
Just use the Shading tab of the Table Designer. In the Body Shading
box, choose Shade By Columns, and set the first 1 column to the 
shading you want and the Next 99 columns to no shading. Then
either define it as a new named format or click Update All to save
it as part of the current format's definition.

Sorting: Ignoring periods

[Robert Evans]

Hi Darren,

I'm not sure if you've fixed your problem yet - I think I may not have
received all the posts, but, if you're working on an APL (and not an
IX), then all you need to do is add a space AND a period to your
IgnoreCharsAPL paragraph on the APL Reference page. 

Once gotcha is that the space cannot go at the end of the paragraph. I
put "space" & "." at the start, and it sorted in the way you wanted.

Regards

Rob Evans

*whap-to-da-forehead*
I failed to realized that the customer is not generating a true index
(IX) but an alpha list of paragraphs. That resulting list is named
"index" within the document. You'd think the *.APL file extension would
have given me a clue.. ;^) 
Their template has both IX and APL entries in the ref page. 
It's too late in the workflow to go back and add index markers in the
doc; so I guess they're stuck with hand-fixing the APL?

I'm still not sure I understand why the index entries use a period in
the
first place. I have never seen an index that uses that punctuation 
convention. 

But assuming that the intent is that *every* index entry ends in a
period,
I would include it in the index specifications on the IX reference page
of
the index file rather than including it in each and every index entry
marker,
since a missing period in a marker (which can happen quite easily) would

result in a second, unpunctuated entry in the compiled index. Just go to

the IX reference page and find the SeparatorsIX paragraph. Add a period 
(or whetever other character you want to use as an entry terminator) 
at the very start of the paragraph, before the separator space. Then
regenerate the index.

Recommendation for PDF to HTML converter?

[Anne Urban]

Hello framers,

Can anyone recommend a PDF to HTML converter?
I've tried pdftohtml from SourceForge, and I've
tried Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard on the Mac.  That
one does a pretty good job, except that I get
bad bullets.  Thanks.

Regards,
-Anne Urban

Recommendation for PDF to HTML converter?

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

I don't know much about the Mac, but googling "pdf to html" "mac os x"
gives bout 24,300 results including some Mac forums where, I believe,
you get the best help.

Framemaker 8.0

[Robinson, Lee L CIV DLA J6UIB]

I build and maintain unstructured Framemaker books.  With the
newly-installed 8.0, the pdf TOC member links don't work.  I get the the
message "There was an error opening this document.  The filename,
directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."  Can anyone help
me?

Thanks.
