Initial size of Variables Pod in FM10

[Böðvar Björgvinsson]

Hi all,

I have been searching for a topic on whether it is possible to change the
initial size of the Variables Pod in FM10, but not found it.

I find it rather annoying to have the pod open at the bottom of the page
every time taking up 20-25% of my document page. Is there a way to change
this behaviour and have it open like most other pods?

Thanks,
Bodvar

Japanese translation - Thx!!!

[Stephen O'Brien]

Hi,

I received many appreciated and precise responses from this group. I now 
realize that the translation firm was charging a 12$/page fee for doing the DTP 
in Frame (resizing text frames, etc.) above the translation costs.

In addition, from your responses, I now better understand the translation 
process in general.

This group is not only very knowledgeable but generous as well!

Have a great day,

Correct Document Bookmarks that Override Book Bookmarks?

[rebecca officer]

If you open the book, select all the files in the book, and then set the 
bookmarks up, that should change the settings in every file.

Make sure that all your files contain all paragraph tags that're used in the 
book.

Cheers
Rebecca

Listers,

I was glad to be reminded of the advice a lister posted not long ago about
setting PDF bookmarks for a book from the "save as PDF" set-up dialog to
make them permanent. But it appears that (erroneous or perhaps
default/legacy) bookmarks set in some of the book's individual files are
also getting picked up and creating lots of bookmarks I don't want.

Is there a quick, book-wide way to make sure file-level bookmarks don't
override book-level bookmarks? Or a way to apply one set to all files in
the book?

Thanks,
Karen

Changed Section and Subsection Numbers

[Craig Ede]

I'm not sure exactly in what sense you are using "book update", but that
ambiguity brings forth a couple more observations that may help with this
problem:



Updating the Numbering Properties within the book (usually done by selecting
one or more files in the book, right-clicking and choosing Numbering
Properties which opens the Numbering properties dialog box).

The templates I set up have the numbering properties set at the book level
so that users don't have to mess with this. However, if the books can't be
predefined, a good description of what to check for in these settings should
be part of the template documentation. 



Updating the book to produce the correct numbering of pages, etc. This used
to be Generate/Update. (In the open book files, select the book file at the
top of the list of components and choose File>Update book):

This will update the numbering according to the current book settings.
REMEMBER: If you have files open, they will have to be saved to preserve the
numbering. A "best practice" is to do this will all the component files
closed as this ensures that they are opened and then saved in the updated
state.



Remember also that printing a book results in an update occurring (again
without saving if the files are open).

Harvey,



I had a similar problem on a ~10 chapter book. One or two of the chapters
would never get the formatting right even though each template was the same
and each chapter had the Format - Document - Numbering (and Page) set
properly. It was only when I would do Book Updates that the formatting and
page sequencing would be properly "forced".

It may be as simple as going into the Paragraph tab in the numbering for
that section and changing that to "Continue numbering from Previous file"
(don't recall the selection exactly).

The numbering is a delicate interaction between a number of settings.
Usually putting your content into the containers provided by the template
(and removing overrides from any of the numbered paragraph tags) will fix
problems. (Of course, that assumes you have a good template.)

It is NOT usually a good idea to start trying this and that setting while
hoping for the best.

Framers: I need your help. In a multi-section book, my section and
subsection numbers in section 2 reverted from 2, 2.1, 2.2, etc. to 1, 1.1,
1.2, etc. I don't know why this happened; I didn't (knowingly) do anything
to this chapter. This section did read 2, 2.1, 2.2 this morning. I went into
Format - Document - Numbering and tried to fix the Chapter, Section, and
Sub-section tabs in Numbering Properties, but nothing is working. Section
2's numbering remains 1, 1.1, 1.2. Luckily, this glitch has not affected the
section and subsection numbers in any of the other chapters in this book. I
could use some step-by-step instructions on how to get the section numbers
to convert back to 2, 2.1, 2.2.

Translating FM files into Japonese

[Ragnar Hanås]

Hello,

He probably refers to the Trados filter S-tagger that converts FM files to
Word (rft) files with colored tags. The translator will just translate the
text in between the colored tags, and then you can convert back into
Japanese with S-Tagger. I did that with Japanese many years ago. The
learning curve can be a bit tricky, bit is really rather straight-forward
once you get used to it. You would need to install Japanese fonts as well.
The problem is that Trados does not sell this as a standalone program
anymore, so you would have to purchase the whole Trados package. Therefore
is seems better that the translation agency who probably already has a
Trados license does the S-Tagger work as well.

Regards,

Ragnar Hanas

Subject: Translating FM files into Japonese



Hi,



We have located a translator in Japan to translate a 300-page training
booklet written in English. The document is very largely table based with
typically an image in row 1 and the caption underneath in row 2 with
straddled narrow columns containing arrows to show a sequence of actions. 



The translator is charging reasonable translation costs and then there is an
additional 12$/page cost because the files are from FrameMaker. When we
questioned that cost, he asked if we could provide files in Trados format.
Maybe he is not familiar with FrameMaker files.



Anyway, I find this strange as in the past I have always provided FM files
and the company doing the translation took care of everything else on their
side. I received my Fm files translated into the target language from which
I made PDFs.



Can anyone familiar with translating FM files explain why the individual is
requesting files in Trados format? Can that be done ? just pay a company to
generate Trados files from FM files?



Many thanks (cold and wet here in Quebec City at 10 Celcius),
