RE: tables and translation

[Andersen, Verner Engell VEA]

Hi
 
When we translated our manual from English to German via the Trados
translation workbench it turned out that many of columns in tables were
too small. The result was that a letter or two wre placed in line two of
the column.
 
I fixed this in the files I received from the translator but would like
to fix it in my English source so that I won't have to do this again in
the next release.
My plan was to open a copy ofthe English files and manually compare all
tables with those in the German files.
 
Originally I used tables from the table designer by I  fear that many of
them habe been manually modified.
 
Do you have any suggestions about how to handle the task?
I know that a Framescript can solve the issue, I am in doubt whether it
will be too costly compared to the one time manual work.
 
Best regards,
 
Verner

You don't need FrameScript. Get Rick Quatro's TableCleaner plugin:

Its Resize Table Columns command should make quick work of your problem.
Check it out here:

That said, it seems to me that a competent localization vendor would
take care of that for you. Ours does. Of course, I'm sure the cost is
built into bid. :-)

Anchored Frame Problem

[Galanter, Lea]

Hi Framers,

 

I'm hoping you can help me with a small problem. I'm using Frame 9 on
Windows 7, but I've had this problem with previous versions of Frame as
well, so it's not new. When using anchored frames, I am unable to fix
the distance of the frame from the surrounding text. The online Help
indicates that the Anchored Frame dialog box has a Distance above
Baseline option, but I see no such option in that dialog box. Not sure
why Adobe says that such an option exists when it clearly doesn't. Does
anyone know where this option may really be hiding.

 

I did have a thought that the option may be available only when using
structured Frame, but that doesn't seem to make sense to me. I have not
yet made the transition to structured Frame - no time to transition the
old files I inherited. But while I'm on the subject, we bought
TechCommSuite 2 and I'm going to use RoboHelp to create Help files we
never had for our product - should I transition my files to structured
Frame if I'm going to link my files to RoboHelp?

 

TIA!

RE: Anchored Frame Problem

Hi Lea,

It's when you use the Anchoring Position: At Insertion Point option - that 
causes a new Distance above Baseline field to appear.

You don't need to do structured FM to use the FM to RH help generation. I'd 
recommend that you check out RJ Jacquez's blog 
(http://blogs.adobe.com/rjacquez/) for some good demos of how stuff flows from 
FM to RH.

The option you are looking for is only presented in the Anchored Frame 
properties dialog when it is relevant, and that depends on the current setting 
of the Anchoring Position property. When you use the At Insertion Point, 
Outside Column, or Outside Text Frame position, you will indeed see a Distance 
above Baseline property. If you are using the Below Current Line, At Top of 
Column, At Bottom of Column, or Run into Paragraph position, you will *not* see 
Distance above Baseline because that property is irrelevant or meaningless.

What anchoring position are you using? And how does the behavior you see vary 
from the behavior you desire?

If you are using a paragraph tag specific to the anchored frame (that is,

Lea, a tip that I picked up from this list in my early days with FM is 
to put anchored frames in their own dedicated paragraphs.  This approach 
gives you a lot of control over positioning and spacing, keeping 
captions with their figures, etc. because you have all the options of 
the pgf tag definition at your disposal.  You can create various tags 
with different alignments, indentations, Next Pgf specifications, space 
above/below, etc. as needed.

Anchored Frame Problem

[Galanter, Lea]

Thanks, Jeff. I'll check out RJ's blog (I keep forgetting about that!).

Thanks to Rick Quattro for calling me and discussing At Insertion Point.
Based on his suggestion for working with graphics, I'm creating a new
Graphic Insert paragraph style, which the docs have not had before. This
is also going to solve my problem with the distance between the graphic
and its caption.

Thanks!

Hi Lea,

It's when you use the "Anchoring Position: At Insertion Point" option -
that causes a new Distance above Baseline field to appear.

You don't need to do structured FM to use the FM to RH help generation.
I'd recommend that you check out RJ Jacquez's blog
(http://blogs.adobe.com/rjacquez/) for some good demos of how stuff
flows from FM to RH.

Subject: Anchored Frame Problem

Hi Framers,



I'm hoping you can help me with a small problem. I'm using Frame 9 on
Windows 7, but I've had this problem with previous versions of Frame as
well, so it's not new. When using anchored frames, I am unable to fix
the distance of the frame from the surrounding text. The online Help
indicates that the Anchored Frame dialog box has a Distance above
Baseline option, but I see no such option in that dialog box. Not sure
why Adobe says that such an option exists when it clearly doesn't. Does
anyone know where this option may really be hiding.



I did have a thought that the option may be available only when using
structured Frame, but that doesn't seem to make sense to me. I have not
yet made the transition to structured Frame - no time to transition the
old files I inherited. But while I'm on the subject, we bought
TechCommSuite 2 and I'm going to use RoboHelp to create Help files we
never had for our product - should I transition my files to structured
Frame if I'm going to link my files to RoboHelp?



TIA!

...or when you use Anchoring Position: Outside Column or Outside Text Frame.

Lea, a tip that I picked up from this list in my early days with FM is 
to put anchored frames in their own dedicated paragraphs.  This approach 
gives you a lot of control over positioning and spacing, keeping 
captions with their figures, etc. because you have all the options of 
the pgf tag definition at your disposal.  You can create various tags 
with different alignments, indentations, Next Pgf specifications, space 
above/below, etc. as needed.

HTH.
