stable.

Embed MS Excel File in FM8?

No, that cannot be done.

Hi all,

Can I embed a MS Excel file into FrameMaker as a link so that when I convert it 
to PDF or WebHelp (via RoboHelp) the Excel file is accessible to the reader?  
My research tells me "no" but figured I'd reach out to the FM gurus of the 
group to double-check.  ;)

We currently use Tech Comm Suite 1.3 (Frame 8, RoboHelp 7) but will be 
upgrading within the next month to Tech Comm Suite 3 -- so if it's possible in 
the later version, that would be great to know as well.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

You can't achieve that result with the method you propose, but you could 
put a hypertext marker into the FM file that would open the Excel file 
-- provided that it resides in a fixed location accessible to the person 
using the PDF.

FM8 crashing like it's Word

[Art Campbell]

And one more kinda PS -- I've had trouble with current versions of
Frame opening and saving legacy documents.
If some of any of your files are FM7 files, I would think about saving
the 8 files back as MIFs to clean up any stray characters or bytes,
then opening and saving them as .fm files again.

FM8 crashing like it's Word

[Chris Despopoulos]

Maker 8 introduced UNICODE, didn't it?? Anyway, I found that it was squirly 
with text lines in graphics.? Try to always use text frames instead.? I think 
this even bit me after fully updating.

R: Word count in CMP files (FM8)

[Anton David]

 Hello Frederik,


I don't know whether you can do this in FM8, but usually the workflow for
translating FM documents (and updated FM documents) in the localization
world has a totally different workflow.
We usually convert FM into MIF then into some format editable under a
translation memory management tool so previous translations are constantly
leveraged. Once translation is complete, we convert back the files and
perform the required DTP tasks.

Hi All,



Is there a  way to perform an automatic word count in CMP (comparison)
files, only counting the words tagged "(Inserted)"? I would like to know how
many new (Inserted) words there are in my CMP files so I can calculate the
translation costs for updating a number of FM8 documents.

This approach definitely works with WebWorks ePublisher.  I'd be 
surprised if it didn't work in RoboHelp the same way.  ePublisher sees 
the link to the Excel document and brings it along as a baggage file, at 
least for WebHelp, CHM, and other HTML outputs.  Of course, neither tool 
presently embeds Excel files as attachments onto PDFs.  ePublisher may 
be able to link to the file, yet it doesn't perform any "baggage file" 
handling during pure PDF production

RE: Embed MS Excel File in FM8?

[Dov Isaacs]

No, that cannot be done.

Subject: Embed MS Excel File in FM8?

Hi all,

Can I embed a MS Excel file into FrameMaker as a link so that when I convert it 
to PDF or WebHelp (via RoboHelp) the Excel file is accessible to the reader?  
My research tells me "no" but figured I'd reach out to the FM gurus of the 
group to double-check.  ;)

We currently use Tech Comm Suite 1.3 (Frame 8, RoboHelp 7) but will be 
upgrading within the next month to Tech Comm Suite 3 -- so if it's possible in 
the later version, that would be great to know as well.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

You can't achieve that result with the method you propose, but you could 
put a hypertext marker into the FM file that would open the Excel file 
-- provided that it resides in a fixed location accessible to the person 
using the PDF.

RE: FM8 crashing like it's Word

[Lea Rush]

I have no advice to offer, but I will say that I’m running F8.0p277 on Vista
with minorly-complex documents and haven’t had anything like what you
describe. Good luck in the fixing.

FM 8 on PC, Windows Vista, 32 bit system, 2.38 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM.

 

And Frame is crashing WAY too often. In files it SHOULD be able to handle
nimbly. 

 

Today, e.g., the only FM files open were two document files, both under 200
KB, no books or generated files. CRASH.

 

There was a 23 MB PowerPoint 2007 (.pptx) file also open, but still, come
ON---this is FRAME here.

 

Is this a Frame-Vista matter, and if so , does it get better in FM 9 or 10?

Re: FM8 crashing like it's Word

[Art Campbell]

And one more kinda PS -- I've had trouble with current versions of
Frame opening and saving legacy documents.
If some of any of your files are FM7 files, I would think about saving
the 8 files back as MIFs to clean up any stray characters or bytes,
then opening and saving them as .fm files again.

RE: FM8 crashing like it's Word

[Chris Despopoulos]

Maker 8 introduced UNICODE, didn't it?  Anyway, I found that it was squirly 
with text lines in graphics.  Try to always use text frames instead.  I think 
this even bit me after fully updating.

R: Word count in CMP files (FM8)

[Anton David]

 Hello Frederik,


I don't know whether you can do this in FM8, but usually the workflow for
translating FM documents (and updated FM documents) in the localization
world has a totally different workflow.
We usually convert FM into MIF then into some format editable under a
translation memory management tool so previous translations are constantly
leveraged. Once translation is complete, we convert back the files and
perform the required DTP tasks.

Hi All,

 

Is there a  way to perform an automatic word count in CMP (comparison)
files, only counting the words tagged "(Inserted)"? I would like to know how
many new (Inserted) words there are in my CMP files so I can calculate the
translation costs for updating a number of FM8 documents.

 

Best regards,

Fredrik

Hi Brian,

 

What are doing when FrameMaker crashes? FrameMaker 8 is typically very
stable.
