Can the spelling checker be trusted?
I've seen this error and do not use Franklin Gothic Demi, so I don't think it's specific to that font. I've also encountered it in paragraphs that have no overrides or character styles applied at all. It seems like the spell checker makes the assumption that your most likely error is omitted spaces, if it can find any smaller words in your misspelled word. If the assumption were instead that your most likely mistake was to have misspelled a single word, the first suggestion would more often be correct. -- Shane Taylor | Technical Writer WebAssign | 919.829.8181 x147
PDF weirdness
Hi Cynthia, I remember to encounter this every some months (FrameMaker 8). What helped was just a restart FrameMaker and Acrobat and create the PDF file anew. Do you scale the PDF to window size when you open the PDF? If yes, this is the reason why you did not notice this yourself first.

PDF weirdness
Classification: NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Yup, checked all that, and I'm printing to the Adobe PDF printer instance. Everything's set to A4 and 100%. Cynthia Milton - 0773 889 5991 Technical Documentation (Cyclamen - Rollestone) -Original Message- From: Pinkham, Jim [mailto:jim.pink...@voith.com] Sent: 27 May 2010 14:27 To: Milton, Cynthia; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: PDF weirdness Good luck, Cynthia. I've forgotten all of the details, but I've had this happen in FM 6 and FM 7, too, so we can't blame FM 9 for this one. I'm pretty sure the settings were on the Frame side. Sorry if a bit vague, but I'd suggest you double-check the Print Setup settings at the book level and make sure you have A4 under Paper - Size. Hopefully, you're printing to the Adobe PDF instance. Double-check the Adobe settings and make sure that page size is A4 also. The other place to check is the Page Size settings under Format - Document - PDF setup. Do this at the book level and you can handle every chapter at once. If all three of those spots (Print Setup, Adobe PDF Page Size, and Format Doc) are set for A4, you should be good. If not, hopefully others on the list will have further ideas.

Re: Thought for the day
I found 'nice' to be most troubling after having married a Brit. In that US it's a bit of a limp compliment, but in the UK it carries stronger positiveness. "Did you like the curry?" "It was nice, thanks" has a totally different effect in the two dialects, especially to her who cooked the curry!

Thought for the day
I found 'nice' to be most troubling after having married a Brit. In that US it's a bit of a limp compliment, but in the UK it carries stronger positiveness. "Did you like the curry?" "It was nice, thanks" has a totally different effect in the two dialects, especially to her who cooked the curry! And it never fails to crack me up when I hear him say "I could just murder a glass of water!" or "they do a gorgeous crab salad" -- in Amurrican English, we don't use "murder" or "gorgeous" that way.

My high school Spanish teacher used to tell the story of planning to dine one evening with her Brit friends. One guy said to her, "I'll come by about 6 and knock you up."

Try making a book with two copies of your short test case; does that work? We import the conversion template to each file individually, because you may want to use different templates for different files. Are the xrefs that are not working as desired to targets in the same file, or in different files? Maybe the problem is that when you convert one file and update xrefs, the *other* files in the book are not using the modified numbering formats, so you get what they *are* using, the old one. In that case, you will need to change your workflow a little: 1. Copy the Frame book and chapter files to another dir as a backup. 2. Manually import the conversion template to the whole book, and manually update xrefs from the book. Remove the reference to the conversion template from your mif2htm.ini. 3. Run the conversion. 4. Copy the backup files back over the working set to restore your numbering for other uses. >So if I only have one file in my book file, doesn't matter which, >the x-refs are updated correctly, but if I have more than one file, >the x-refs are not updated correctly. Any suggestions? See if that works. We haven't run into this before because you are the first we know of to change the content the xref is getting in the other files as part of conversion. Most people just change the xref format, and that works fine. I suspect this issue is because you're changing the numbering properties too. >By the way, I'm on digest, so please cc me in any response. HTH! -- Jeremy H.

Good... >Then I added a second file to the book file, and the x-refs were incorrect. Does the same thing happen with two files if you do it by hand? Try making a book with two copies of your short test case; does that work? We import the conversion template to each file individually, because you may want to use different templates for different files. Are the xrefs that are not working as desired to targets in the same file, or in different files? Maybe the problem is that when you convert one file and update xrefs, the *other* files in the book are not using the modified numbering formats, so you get what they *are* using, the old one. In that case, you will need to change your workflow a little: 1. Copy the Frame book and chapter files to another dir as a backup. 2. Manually import the conversion template to the whole book, and manually update xrefs from the book. Remove the reference to the conversion template from your mif2htm.ini. 3. Run the conversion. 4. Copy the backup files back over the working set to restore your numbering for other uses. >So if I only have one file in my book file, doesn't matter which, >the x-refs are updated correctly, but if I have more than one file, >the x-refs are not updated correctly. Any suggestions? See if that works. We haven't run into this before because you are the first we know of to change the content the xref is getting in the other files as part of conversion. Most people just change the xref format, and that works fine. I suspect this issue is because you're changing the numbering properties too. >By the way, I'm on digest, so please cc me in any response. HTH! -- Jeremy H.

FM9, Mif2Go, and Cross-Refs
Hi Jeremy and fellow Frmaers As Jeremy suggested below,I tried manually importing the template and then updating the x-refs with the menu. The Figure and Table x-refs display correctly, with the single number. I then set out to create a one page test case to send to OmniSys, and guess what, when I strip it down to one page, the x-refs are updated correctly. Next I tried the whole file, and the x-refs were in the correct format. Then I added a second file to the book file, and the x-refs were incorrect. So if I only have one file in my book file, doesn't matter which, the x-refs are updated correctly, but if I have more than one file, the x-refs are not updated correctly. Any suggestions? By the way, I'm on digest, so please cc me in any response. Thanks. Martha -Original Message- From: Jeremy H.

I didn't have this problem with my previous versions of >FM and Mif2Go, and I don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions? See if the update after the import is working correctly. We use an FDK call that should always do that: F_ApiUpdateXRefs(docId, (IntT) (FF_XRUI_EVERYTHING | FF_XRUI_FORCE_UPDATE)); And if we get a failure response, we put up an alert dialog. But it's possible that FM9 broke something there, as it does in so many other places... :-( So check it manually: 1. Make a backup copy of your current chapter files elsewhere. 2. Open the book, and manually import the template. 2. Update all xrefs using the menu command. 4. See if they really changed. If not, you've found an FM9 bug. Consider going to FM8 instead; it actually works. 5. Close Frame and copy your backup files over the ones you changed. If you see correct updating manually, but not when using Mif2Go, we'll need a test case, as described in Appendix D: a one-page chapter file that shows the problem. Just trim one of yours down; it really must be that small for this purpose. Include the .fm, .prj, conversion template, all .inis, the MIF (very important!), and all output files, all in one .zip. Then we can diagnose the cause and hopefully fix it, FM9 permitting. >And if it's relevant, I'm running Windows XP64. Make sure you installed the conversion DLLs and exes that normally go into \windows\system32 into \windows\SysWOW64 instead. We mention this on the download page, but recheck. HTH! -- Jeremy H.

Re: Thought for the day
My local paper yesterday referred to a car being a right-off. And a brochure published by the Home Office (the UK ministry for domestic affairs) about the project I'm working on refers to vehicles being stationery. The mind boggles. It could be worse. I remember seeing a newspaper display ad for swim shits instead of swim suits! :) Mike Wickham ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

PDF weirdness
Good luck, Cynthia. I've forgotten all of the details, but I've had this happen in FM 6 and FM 7, too, so we can't blame FM 9 for this one. I'm pretty sure the settings were on the Frame side. Sorry if a bit vague, but I'd suggest you double-check the Print Setup settings at the book level and make sure you have A4 under Paper - Size. Hopefully, you're printing to the Adobe PDF instance. Double-check the Adobe settings and make sure that page size is A4 also. The other place to check is the Page Size settings under Format - Document - PDF setup. Do this at the book level and you can handle every chapter at once. If all three of those spots (Print Setup, Adobe PDF Page Size, and Format Doc) are set for A4, you should be good. If not, hopefully others on the list will have further ideas.

RE: FM9, Mif2Go, and Cross-Refs
Hi Jeremy and fellow Frmaers As Jeremy suggested below,I tried manually importing the template and then updating the x-refs with the menu. The Figure and Table x-refs display correctly, with the single number. I then set out to create a one page test case to send to OmniSys, and guess what, when I strip it down to one page, the x-refs are updated correctly. Next I tried the whole file, and the x-refs were in the correct format. Then I added a second file to the book file, and the x-refs were incorrect. So if I only have one file in my book file, doesn't matter which, the x-refs are updated correctly, but if I have more than one file, the x-refs are not updated correctly. Any suggestions? By the way, I'm on digest, so please cc me in any response. Thanks. Martha -Original Message- From: Jeremy H.

I didn't have this problem with my previous versions of >FM and Mif2Go, and I don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions? See if the update after the import is working correctly. We use an FDK call that should always do that: F_ApiUpdateXRefs(docId, (IntT) (FF_XRUI_EVERYTHING | FF_XRUI_FORCE_UPDATE)); And if we get a failure response, we put up an alert dialog. But it's possible that FM9 broke something there, as it does in so many other places... :-( So check it manually: 1. Make a backup copy of your current chapter files elsewhere. 2. Open the book, and manually import the template. 2. Update all xrefs using the menu command. 4. See if they really changed. If not, you've found an FM9 bug. Consider going to FM8 instead; it actually works. 5. Close Frame and copy your backup files over the ones you changed. If you see correct updating manually, but not when using Mif2Go, we'll need a test case, as described in Appendix D: a one-page chapter file that shows the problem. Just trim one of yours down; it really must be that small for this purpose. Include the .fm, .prj, conversion template, all .inis, the MIF (very important!), and all output files, all in one .zip. Then we can diagnose the cause and hopefully fix it, FM9 permitting. >And if it's relevant, I'm running Windows XP64. Make sure you installed the conversion DLLs and exes that normally go into \windows\system32 into \windows\SysWOW64 instead. We mention this on the download page, but recheck. HTH! -- Jeremy H.

RE: PDF weirdness
Good luck, Cynthia. I've forgotten all of the details, but I've had this happen in FM 6 and FM 7, too, so we can't blame FM 9 for this one. I'm pretty sure the settings were on the Frame side. Sorry if a bit vague, but I'd suggest you double-check the Print Setup settings at the book level and make sure you have A4 under Paper - Size. Hopefully, you're printing to the Adobe PDF instance. Double-check the Adobe settings and make sure that page size is A4 also. The other place to check is the Page Size settings under Format - Document - PDF setup. Do this at the book level and you can handle every chapter at once. If all three of those spots (Print Setup, Adobe PDF Page Size, and Format Doc) are set for A4, you should be good. If not, hopefully others on the list will have further ideas.

Boolean expressions in unstructured FM9
We have many brands in one document - each has a condition for the brand-specific information. There are also different versions for Canadian and domestic product. We have been maintaining separate sourcefiles for Canadian and for domestic versions. Now that we've jumped to FM9 (from FM7.1) , I am trying to figure out if Boolean expressions can allow us to merge Canadian and domestic versions. Unfortunately I am getting an invalid expression when I try to set up the situation I would need. This is not even attempting proper syntax -- is it possible to do this in unstructured FM9? (Canada and Brand1) but not (Brand2, Brand3...BrandX, or Domestic) Likewise, I would also do the same in reverse -- Domestic, not Canadian.

Thought for the day

And a brochure published by the Home Office (the UK ministry for domestic affairs) about the project I'm working on refers to vehicles being stationery. The mind boggles.
