Re: Xref marker following Text inset
Short answer: don't do that. A text inset ends after, I think, the paragraph marker following it. What you can do is create a paragraph tag that uses a default font of a tiny size, like 6 pt, no space before or after, and put that immediately after your text inset. The text inset anchors itself to that tag and away you go. Someone else might know a better way to do it.

RE: Xref marker following Text inset
Another way to isolate adjacent markers without changing the text is to put the cursor at the back of the second of the two markers.

Can't see marker symbols in FrameMaker 10
Hi all, I just upgraded from FrameMaker 7.2 to 10. Now, when I insert a marker or table, I can't see the T marker symbol in the document. This is in an unstructured document, and I've got View Text Symbols selected. I can recreate it by creating a new blank document and entering a marker, so it's not document-related. Opening the Markers pod or searching on a marker shows that the markers are indeed in the document. Also - and this is strange - it does not work on my machine, which is 64-bit running Windows 7, but works fine on a 32-bit XP machine. I've also got the 10.0.1 update. Anyone else see this?

RE: unable to position table footnote pgf
Hi Stuart, As John mentioned, your problem is that you have no frame named TableFootnote on the Reference Pages You’ll need to add a frame to the reference page to control that space… it doesn’t need to have content but I believe it’ll require a name of TableFootnote, as John mentioned. That should be the end of it, and you can resize that empty frame to space out your text. I believe John’s solution is 1 step farther than you need to go...in my experience, you’ll not need to apply a Frame Above to the Table Footnote paragraph tag. To do so would add the frame again in between multiparagraph footnotes. It sounds like one of 2 things happened: 1. Your template file began its life with FM 6 or so, before there was a TableFootnote frame on the Ref Pages 2. You accidentally deleted the TableFootnote frame on the Reference Pages Either way, let me know if this solution solves your problem. -Matt Matt Sullivan Director of Training | roundpeg, Inc. http://twitter.com/mattrsullivan @mattrsullivan P: 714.960.6840 | F: 360.230.7269 | mailto:m...@roundpeg.com m...@roundpeg.com 4590 MacArthur Blvd., Suite 620 | Newport Beach, CA 92660 Description: http://training.roundpeg.com/roundpeg/images/signature/rplogo1.png http://www.roundpeg.com www.roundpeg.com http://twitter.com/roundpeginc Description: http://training.roundpeg.com/roundpeg/images/signature/twitter.png http://www.facebook.com/roundpegInc Description: http://training.roundpeg.com/roundpeg/images/signature/facebook.png http://www.linkedin.com/companies/roundpeg-inc Description: http://training.roundpeg.com/roundpeg/images/signature/linkedin.png http://blogs.roundpeg.com/ Description: http://training.roundpeg.com/roundpeg/images/signature/blog.png From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of John Pitt Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2011 4:01 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com; Stuart Rogers Subject: Re: unable to position table footnote pgf Stuart, You should be able to control the space above by adding a Frame Above Pgf on the Advanced tab of Para Designer.

RE: Creating hyperlink to PDF
Winfried ~ Here's what I've found out. To answer your question, yes it does work that way. Also works when I create a viewable document. The problem seems to be with Acrobat, and only when creating files not when reading them, i.e. I have pdf files that I created under XP that still contain active links when checked under Win7. Acrobat still thinks the link to external files is valid because it shows the little hand cursor when hovering over it, but the link doesn't work. All x-refs within the pdf book, however, seem to work for a book created under Win7. Even a message URL to an website link works like before. The only thing broken under my Win7 environment appears to be the Message copyfile links that go to my local external files and folders. My copy of Acrobat Pro Extended is fully patched at version 9.4.5. I've searched the Adobe site and also a did wide ranging searches on the Web without turning up anything.

RE: Creating hyperlink to PDF
Update on this Frame-Acrobat problem. I visited Adobe.com and looked for a trial version of an update. While there, a nice sales lady invited me to chat, and not finding any other way to discuss this issue with any other Adobe employee, I took her up on it. Explained my problem, and after a wait of several minutes she came back that TCS2 is incompatible with Win7 and suggesting I update to TCS3. Rather than that, I asked her for assurance that I could run either Frame10 with TCS2 or Acrobat X with TCS2, and she said aye in both cases (I translated the aye). I downloaded a trial of Acrobat X, accepting its suggestion that it uninstall Acrobat 9 from my TCS2, then started testing. It seemed to work okay with TCS2 but haven't extensively tested that. What DID work was the links that wouldn't work when I generated a pdf from Frame before. Problem solved, or so it appears. Later, I found out that the pdf that lacked the valid links in Win7 would have them in another computer running XP and version 9.4.5 of Acrobat. It appears, therefore, that there is an incompatibility between Acrobat 9 running under Win7 such that message openfile links that it creates won't work under Win7, but will work under XP. Go figure. Thought someone might find some value in all of this. ~ Bill -Original Message- From: Reng, Dr. Winfried [mailto:wr...@tycoint.com] Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2011 2:31 AM To: Fetzner, Bill; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: AW: Creating hyperlink to PDF Hi Bill, Does the link work in FrameMaker (CTRL + ALT and then click on the link)?

Are you sure the marker is part of the container document, not the text inset? If so, put the insertion point to the right of the marker. Use the left arrow key to move it between the marker and the text inset. Then press Crtrl-space to insert a non-breaking space between the two.

unable to position table footnote pgf
TCS 2.0 FM 9.0p255 WinXP SP3 I'm trying to set up a table format in a new template. I've added a sample footnote in a cell, and the footnote text appears below the table. However, the text appears with no space between it and the bottom rule of the table -- in fact, the rule touches the tops of the letters in the footnote text. I've tried increasing the Space Above in the table-footnote pgf tag; doing so causes the *following* paragraph to move down, but has no effect on the footnote text. I've tried increasing the Space Below in the Table Designer; same result. I've tried increasing the Space Below in the table title pgf tag, the table anchor pgf tag, and in a cell in the bottom table row; no effect. The User Guide and the Help don't address footnote spacing per se, as far as I can tell.

unable to position table footnote pgf
Hi Stuart, As John mentioned, your problem is that you have no frame named TableFootnote on the Reference Pages You?ll need to add a frame to the reference page to control that space? it doesn?t need to have content but I believe it?ll require a name of TableFootnote, as John mentioned. That should be the end of it, and you can resize that empty frame to space out your text. I believe John?s solution is 1 step farther than you need to go...in my experience, you?ll not need to apply a Frame Above to the Table Footnote paragraph tag. To do so would add the frame again in between multiparagraph footnotes. It sounds like one of 2 things happened: 1. Your template file began its life with FM 6 or so, before there was a TableFootnote frame on the Ref Pages 2. You accidentally deleted the TableFootnote frame on the Reference Pages Either way, let me know if this solution solves your problem. -Matt Matt Sullivan Director of Training | roundpeg, Inc. <http://twitter.com/mattrsullivan> @mattrsullivan P: 714.960.6840 | F: 360.230.7269 | <mailto:matt at roundpeg.com> matt at roundpeg.com 4590 MacArthur Blvd., Suite 620 | Newport Beach, CA 92660 Description: http://training.roundpeg.com/roundpeg/images/signature/rplogo1.png <http://www.roundpeg.com> www.roundpeg.com <http://twitter.com/roundpeginc> Description: http://training.roundpeg.com/roundpeg/images/signature/twitter.png <http://www.facebook.com/roundpegInc> Description: http://training.roundpeg.com/roundpeg/images/signature/facebook.png <http://www.linkedin.com/companies/roundpeg-inc> Description: http://training.roundpeg.com/roundpeg/images/signature/linkedin.png <http://blogs.roundpeg.com/> Description: http://training.roundpeg.com/roundpeg/images/signature/blog.png From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of John Pitt Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2011 4:01 PM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com; Stuart Rogers Subject: Re: unable to position table footnote pgf Stuart, You should be able to control the space above by adding a Frame Above Pgf on the Advanced tab of Para Designer.

Creating hyperlink to PDF
Update on this Frame-Acrobat problem. I visited Adobe.com and looked for a trial version of an update. While there, a nice sales lady invited me to chat, and not finding any other way to discuss this issue with any other Adobe employee, I took her up on it. Explained my problem, and after a wait of several minutes she came back that TCS2 is incompatible with Win7 and suggesting I update to TCS3. Rather than that, I asked her for assurance that I could run either Frame10 with TCS2 or Acrobat X with TCS2, and she said "aye" in both cases (I translated the "aye"). I downloaded a trial of Acrobat X, accepting its suggestion that it uninstall Acrobat 9 from my TCS2, then started testing. It seemed to work okay with TCS2 but haven't extensively tested that. What DID work was the links that wouldn't work when I generated a pdf from Frame before. Problem solved, or so it appears. Later, I found out that the pdf that lacked the valid links in Win7 would have them in another computer running XP and version 9.4.5 of Acrobat. It appears, therefore, that there is an incompatibility between Acrobat 9 running under Win7 such that message openfile links that it creates won't work under Win7, but will work under XP. Go figure. Thought someone might find some value in all of this. ~ Bill -Original Message- From: Reng, Dr. Winfried [mailto:wr...@tycoint.com] Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2011 2:31 AM To: Fetzner, Bill; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: AW: Creating hyperlink to PDF Hi Bill, Does the link work in FrameMaker (CTRL + ALT and then click on the link)? How do you create the PDF? If you print to a PostScript file or to a PDF, have you activated "Generate Acrobat Data"?
