RE: FrameMaker 8.0 TOC building blocks
In the LOF file, on the LOF reference page, try chaninging the $paranumonly building block to $paranum. The $paranumonly building block is designed to pick up only the numbers (and any separators between the digits) and omit any other following content produced by the autonumbering format. In other words, it is specifically designed to *eliminate* the kind of extra characters you are trying to add. $paranum, by contrast, picks up the entire autonumbering string. -Fred Ridder From: brenda.walterme...@jhuapl.edu To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 07:36:34 -0400 Subject: FrameMaker 8.0 TOC building blocks My client uses Windows XP and FrameMaker 8.0 I need to include specially marked reference for each of my titles (i.e., # (U) Title).

RE: FrameMaker 8.0 TOC building blocks
Oh, right. I didn't even notice that because corporate style at all the companies where I've used FrameMaker has always included the Figure label in the LOF (partly because that's the way that MS Word, which usually co-exists with FrameMaker, does it by default). If you have to stick with $paranumonly, the solution is to simply include the needed characters as a literal string in the appropriate prototype paragraph in the reference pages. In other words, instead of using $paranumonly$paratext …..$chapnum-$pagenum use $paranumonly (U) $paratext …..$chapnum-$pagenum This will insert the specified five characters (the three glyphs plus leading and trailing spaces) between the numbering string and the paragraph text for every LOF entry that corresponds to the specified paragraph style. -Fred Ridder From: brenda.walterme...@jhuapl.edu To: docu...@hotmail.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 08:40:35 -0400 Subject: Re: FrameMaker 8.0 TOC building blocks But, if I use the $paranum, I get the word Figure with it too.

Char and Para Tag Updating - Across Books
FM 9 Version: 9.0p255 Unstructured OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit Is there any way to edit/update Char and Para tags across all files in a book? When I started with Frame about 3 years, it was a brand new experience for me and I didn't always use (actually, I didn't always know) best practices. My current project is to try, as I update a book for the next revision, is to fix many of my original Char and Para tags. I've searched in the Using Adobe FrameMaker 9 pdf and Scriptorium's Unstructured FrameMaker 8, but I haven't found anything that tells me how to update Char or Para tags across all files in a book. Am I really going to have to do this the hard way?

RE: Char and Para Tag Updating - Across Books
When you say edit/update Char and Para tags are you referring to the formatting associated with the tags, or to the tags themselves (e.g., their names and/or how they are applied)? If it's the former, it's really quite easy: 1) Update the format definitions in one file. This can be any file: a file from the book, a file from a different book, or a separate template file. Save the file but leave it open. 2) From the book window, select the component files that need to be updated. 3) Choose FileImportFormats, and select only the Character and Paragraph formats in the dialog. 4) Click Import. 5) After a few moments to a few minutes (depending on the number of files and how long it takes to open each of them), you'll be all done. Note that this process will change the formats for all tags that appear in both the source (template) and target (document) files, and will add any new formats that are in the template. It will not delete unused formats, and it will not change the names of any tags, and it will not map any existing tags to new ones. To do any of those things, you will need either a plug-in or FrameScript plus an appropriate script (or a lot of time and patience to do it by hand). -Fred Ridder From: alison.cr...@ultrasonix.com To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 14:23:22 -0700 Subject: Char and Para Tag Updating - Across Books FM 9 Version: 9.0p255 Unstructured OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit Is there any way to edit/update Char and Para tags across all files in a book?

RE: Char and Para Tag Updating - Across Books
Unfortunately, I am renaming some tags and updating some settings that I didn't set consistently when I first created tags. Your mention of plugins jarred my memory. I have Silicon Prairie's Char and Para Tools. The conversion tool included in each looks like it might do what I want. Now I just have to study them a bit to figure out the details (and make backups before trying anything!) Thanks for the help!

Char and Para Tag Updating - Across Books
FM 9 Version: 9.0p255 Unstructured OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit Is there any way to edit/update Char and Para tags across all files in a book? When I started with Frame about 3 years, it was a brand new experience for me and I didn't always use (actually, I didn't always know) best practices. My current project is to try, as I update a book for the next revision, is to "fix" many of my original Char and Para tags. I've searched in the Using Adobe FrameMaker 9 pdf and Scriptorium's Unstructured FrameMaker 8, but I haven't found anything that tells me how to update Char or Para tags across all files in a book. Am I really going to have to do this the hard way?

Char and Para Tag Updating - Across Books
When you say "edit/update Char and Para tags" are you referring to the formatting associated with the tags, or to the tags themselves (e.g., their names and/or how they are applied)? If it's the former, it's really quite easy: 1) Update the format definitions in one file. This can be any file: a file from the book, a file from a different book, or a separate template file. Save the file but leave it open. 2) From the book window, select the component files that need to be updated. 3) Choose File>Import>Formats, and select only the Character and Paragraph formats in the dialog. 4) Click Import. 5) After a few moments to a few minutes (depending on the number of files and how long it takes to open each of them), you'll be all done. Note that this process will change the formats for all tags that appear in both the "source" (template) and "target" (document) files, and will add any new formats that are in the template. It will not delete unused formats, and it will not change the names of any tags, and it will not map any existing tags to new ones. To do any of those things, you will need either a plug-in or FrameScript plus an appropriate script (or a lot of time and patience to do it by hand). -Fred Ridder From: alison.cr...@ultrasonix.com To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 14:23:22 -0700 Subject: Char and Para Tag Updating - Across Books FM 9 Version: 9.0p255 Unstructured OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit Is there any way to edit/update Char and Para tags across all files in a book?

Char and Para Tag Updating - Across Books
Unfortunately, I am renaming some tags and updating some settings that I didn't set consistently when I first created tags. Your mention of plugins jarred my memory. I have Silicon Prairie's Char and Para Tools. The conversion tool included in each looks like it might do what I want. Now I just have to study them a bit to figure out the details (and make backups before trying anything!) Thanks for the help!

Virus alert: If you get an email from me with no subject, do not open it!
Someone inadvertently sent me a virus. The email had no subject. Since I knew the person, I opened the email. Because I figured it's better to err on the side of caution, I'm sending out this warning. If you get an email from me with no subject, just delete it, unopened. If you do this, you'll be OK. If you're as paranoid about these things as I am, it's a good idea to change your email password. My apologies for the inconvenience and for the spam, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
