FrameMaker 11 "Add ons" - also for earlier versions!

2012-08-15 Thread rebecca officer
Echoing Scott's enthusiasm, I was delighted to see there's a version for
FM10 too. Great!

Cheers

Klaus...

These are some wonderful resources that you've provided to the FM
community! I'm particularly interested in the maker.ini and
customization documentation. I'm pretty sure that Adobe is looking to
improve their docs .. they should just pay you for this information and
include it as theirs. I'm also very impressed with the work you've done
on the UI enhancements .. wonderful toolbar and pallete work!

Framers ..

Take a few minutes and look over this information that Klaus has
provided. Even if you're not on FM11, you'll find a wealth of
information on his website for your FM version.

Cheers!

Framers,


I'm not involded with the acclaimed new featues in the XML and DITA
area - I'm still on the unstructured route (and my customers just as
well). That gave me time to ride other "hobby horses" during the
beta-test:

1 Enhanced Tool Bar ( http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker66.html ) for
FM-11 : Items 2, 3, 5, 6 are also included here. 
2 Modified Equation Palette ( http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker65.html )
: 25% larger, clearer display by use of fonts
3 Enhanced Vertical Toolbar ( http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker67.html )
: two rather than four levels; new functions in the upper part.
  The vertical toolbar fits nicely into the margin area of facing pages
thus reducing mouse
  miles on a large screen.
4 Entries in maker.ini ( http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker68.html ) : a
list of all the items since FM-3 with explanations. Of course some
  mysteries could not be resolved...
5 Customising FrameMaker (
http://www.daube.ch/docu/files/etb-customising-fm.pdf ) : Based on the
document provided lastly for FM-7 I've documented the
  procedures for  FM-11. Also includes maker.ini entries relevant for
FM-11. 
6 FrameMaker Commands (
http://www.daube.ch/docu/files/etb-fm11-commands.pdf ) : A list of all
commandi in FM-11 created with itl script.


If Adobe does not improve some pathetic dialogues (e.g. Insert Table),
I'll probably throw myself into even more work. Well, time for such
things to do may have only retired and passionate people like me.

Table Question

2012-08-15 Thread Tammy Van Boening
All,

1.  I have been bouncing back and forth like a ping pong ball between
Framemaker and Word these past few weeks, so things are getting a bit
cluttered in my mind about what you can and cannot do in the two
applications, so please be patient and kind if this seems like an obvious
question. I know that in Framemaker, different ruling styles can be set for
alternating rows or groups of rows, but can you set different rows to
different heights? I know it can be done in Word, but given my druthers, I
would rather stay working in Framemaker when I have a choice, and this time,
for this project, I have a choice. (Win 7, 64-bit, FM 10.0 - current w/ all
updates.)
Thanks,

Installing the Archive Program in FrameMaker 11 (Formerly: Bruce Foster's FrameMaker Archive Program)

2012-08-15 Thread Abungu, Salome (TTI Mpls)
I found an answer to my  question so I thought I'd share.


The location for the archive script can be found at 
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/07/create-a-book-packager-using-extendscript.html.

Install the Archive Program in FrameMaker 11


1.   Download and extract the script (Under Code Snippets, click the link 
script attached).


2.   In FrameMaker 11, run the script.



a.   Click File -> Script -> Run. A pop will appear.

b.  Go to the folder where you saved the script. Select Archive-v2.jsx and 
click OK.

View the Archive Program

Click File -> Utilities. The archive program should be listed.

Subject: Bruce Foster's FrameMaker Archive Program

Is there a new version of the FrameMaker archive program available? I remember 
that someone was working on it at one point. I just didn't know if it is 
available. We are about to upgrade to FrameMaker 11. Any information you can 
provide is helpful.

Thank you!
