Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not repeated for further pages of the table
You just have to add a header row (Table>Add Rows or Columns>Add 1 Row To Heading). Unlike Word, you can't tell Frame that a row is (or is not) a heading row. If you want a heading row, you have to add one. If you don't want a heading row, you have to delete it. Also, when a table is imported from Word, it may have custom ruling which you may not want. Select the entire table, then select Table>Custom Ruling and Shading>From Table (to all sides of cell)>Apply.

Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not repeated for further pages of the table
Hi Avi, Rick Quattro's Table Cleaner plugin makes short work of this. Simply select the row or rows you want to repeat, and choose Table > Convert Select Rows > Body to heading Rows. Short of that, you might try a) applying a table format to the imported table, and b) add a header row (Table > Add Rows or Columns > Add a Header a Header Row), c) copy and paste the original cells into that, then delete the original row. -- B a r u c h B r o d e r s e n T e c h n i t e x t D o c u m e n t a t i o n 8 7 7 7 2 1 6 9 8 8 > On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 2:02 PM, Avraham Makeler > wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > RE: Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not > > repeated for further pages of the table > > > > Using: FM 7.2. > > Importing from: Word 2003 > > > > >

Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not repeated for further pages of the table
Hi all, RE: Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not repeated for further pages of the table Using: FM 7.2. Importing from: Word 2003 I found that when I import documents from Word 2003 that contain long tables, the table heading row is not repeated for further pages of the same table. I expected there to be a simple Properties setting controlling this, but I could not find one. I tried opening the FM documents in FM 8 to see if such a Properties setting exists there, and still no luck. So I ran a search for a solution, and I found the *"The Word-to-Frame table macro"*, by a certain *Stephen Sealy*, at: http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/public/word2frame.pdf You save your FM document as a MIF file, and then load it into Word's VBA environment (yes...Word - we just want to use the Word API's powerful string processing facilities), and run Stephen's VBA program. Ok, great - but it didn't work. So I debugged it a bit, and found that it used a search string that was not quite accurate, so the searches did not work. Ok - so I fixed that, and ran it again. Then I found that it started to update the MIF by adding header rows, but then it hung the PC. OK - so it probably works, but maybe it was written for a different version of FM and/or MIF. So is there a different solution for this? Or does somebody have a debugged version of this VBA program? (For FM 7.2.) TIA - avi "Mercy on all, coz everyone's fighting some sort of battle"

Extracting embedded graphics from Word
Hi All, Another way to get the graphics involves using Word 2007. 1. Create a copy of the file saving it using the .docx extension. 2. Go to the folder where you saved the docx. 3. Change the file extension from .docx to .zip. For example, "sample.docx" would become "sample.zip". A zip file is created. 4. Extract the contents of the zip file. 5. Open the extracted folder, and go to word > media. All of the images used in the document are in the "media" folder in their original file format. The original names of the images are lost, but you have all of the images in one folder. I hope that helps! Thanks, Steven P. Gaghan
Keyboard shortcuts to pod elements
I'm in the same boat. I used to use AutoIt for repetitive tasks, and these pods make things difficult. However, if anyone is interested, AutoIt comes with a utility for displaying window info.

Extracting embedded graphics from Word
Does anyone remember Microsoft Photo Editor. Trying to get photos, screen captures, any graphic out of Word using everything I have learned over 16 years being a technical writer never worked.

Save FrameMaker 8.0 files to 6.0
I am doing some freelance work in FrameMaker. One of the requirements is that the work be done in FM 6.0. I am currently working with FM 8.0. Is there a way to develop in 8.0 and then somehow save the files to be compatible to 6.0. Maybe saving them as a mif files? Would that work? Also, does anyone know where I could get a copy of FM 6.0? Thank you in advance for your help. Clara Hall Technical Documentation Manager Aerospace Technologies Group, Inc.

Indeed, Rick's TableCleaner plug-in is what you need.

Re: Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not repeated for further pages of the table
Hi Avi, Rick Quattro's Table Cleaner plugin makes short work of this. Simply select the row or rows you want to repeat, and choose Table > Convert Select Rows > Body to heading Rows. Short of that, you might try a) applying a table format to the imported table, and b) add a header row (Table > Add Rows or Columns > Add a Header a Header Row), c) copy and paste the original cells into that, then delete the original row. -- B a r u c h B r o d e r s e n T e c h n i t e x t D o c u m e n t a t i o n 8 7 7 7 2 1 6 9 8 8 > On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 2:02 PM, Avraham Makeler > wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > RE: Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not > > repeated for further pages of the table > > > > Using: FM 7.2. > > Importing from: Word 2003 > > > > > ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not repeated for further pages of the table
Hi all, RE: Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not repeated for further pages of the table Using: FM 7.2. Importing from: Word 2003 I found that when I import documents from Word 2003 that contain long tables, the table heading row is not repeated for further pages of the same table. I expected there to be a simple Properties setting controlling this, but I could not find one. I tried opening the FM documents in FM 8 to see if such a Properties setting exists there, and still no luck. So I ran a search for a solution, and I found the *"The Word-to-Frame table macro"*, by a certain *Stephen Sealy*, at: http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/public/word2frame.pdf You save your FM document as a MIF file, and then load it into Word's VBA environment (yes...Word - we just want to use the Word API's powerful string processing facilities), and run Stephen's VBA program. Ok, great - but it didn't work. So I debugged it a bit, and found that it used a search string that was not quite accurate, so the searches did not work. Ok - so I fixed that, and ran it again. Then I found that it started to update the MIF by adding header rows, but then it hung the PC. OK - so it probably works, but maybe it was written for a different version of FM and/or MIF. So is there a different solution for this? Or does somebody have a debugged version of this VBA program? (For FM 7.2.)

Re: Keyboard shortcuts to pod elements
I'm in the same boat. I used to use AutoIt for repetitive tasks, and these pods make things difficult. However, if anyone is interested, AutoIt comes with a utility for displaying window info. It's called AutoIt Window Info. It comes with AutoIt, which is free. If anyone tries it, let me know if it helps. Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 052-763-7133 On 30-Jun-10 11:31 PM, Carol J.

Prior to the new Pod interface in Frame 9, I had no trouble using keystrokes to navigate to specific fields in a window. Frame made this easy by assigning Alt-code shortcuts. The new pod interface leaves me frustrated and helpless. For example, in the Cross-reference Pod, I can find no way to navigate to the Paragraph Tag or Paragraph Number field so that I can select something from either list. The only fields that have Alt-code shortcuts are Document, Go to Source, Format, Edit Format, and Convert to Text. Do any of you who routinely work deep in Frame's bowels know if there is a list of field-specific keyboard shortcuts? (Note that I am not asking about ESC-sequence shortcuts as were recently discussed on this list.) I hate this loss in functionality by "upgrading" to a newer product. Carol ** Carol J.
