RE: Shortcut keys for rotate clockwise/counter-clockwise
Thanks for the advice, everyone, but with the help of Klaus Mueller, I got the shortcut keys I’m looking for. Here’s a copy of part of the email he sent me: ■Generally, you can find the default shortcuts for FM commands in the config files \fminit\configui\cmds.cfg or \fminit\configui\wincmds.cfg. ■The shortcuts for those 2 commands are (in English FM versions): –Graphics: • Rotate 90 Degrees Clockwise: Esc g+ • Rotate 90 Degrees Counterclockwise: Esc g- –Page: • Rotate Page Clockwise: Esc pO • Rotate Page Counterclockwise: Esc po He’s got a FrameScript script called “Report Commands” that generates a list of shortcut definitions for whatever FrameMaker you have installed, so if you have custom ones, it’ll list those, too. I tried the rotate page ones and they work.

It is not necessary to add headers and footers unless these were also continuous textflows. Nor is it necessary to create different left and right pages, as you would only use the page temporariliy. As you are obviously working with structured applications, this new page should be applied to your template, so that it becomes available in each document that you generate. This done, you can apply the master page to the page range where the index is located with a single command (in the master page menu). Then you would edit the content. The you would reapply the master pages that are intended to be used here. Probably you have to distinguish between right and left pages, so this time you would need two actions to get back to the original format. And thats it... c) Other solutions are: -- You could use a screen that can be rotated... I have one, but with a configuration like this (screen rotated, content editable but not *really* rotated), it takes some skill to move the cursor, either with a mouse or with the arrow keys... -- Or you could use the landscape orientation page as a standard for your index pages and not the 8x11 inch portrait master pages.

Engineers as authors
Hi, Many thanks to everyone that answered my question as to how best to work with engineers who will soon become content providers for my team of technical writers. The answers (18) were mostly all of the same mind - have them use the authoring tool that they know (ex. Word), set up templates to facilitate importing into FrameMaker, and create guidelines/tools to allow them to prepare content that best corresponds to the required tasks. Some training may be useful individuals with weaker language skills. Your answers actually helped me nudge an existing project in a different direction. The engineers were being asked a level of writing that was beyond their abilities and a negative attitude was developing with regards to contributing expert content. Again, thanks for taking the time and sharing your experiences! You have clearly influenced how my project will develop.

buying FrameMaker
Anita, have you considered a subscription to FrameMaker 11 (which would also get you automatically to Fm12 when released in 2014)? Disclaimer 1: Yes, Adobe got hacked recently. We all know it, and of course we should all do lots to protect our financial info online. Disclaimer 2: Adobe publicly announced the intention to release TCS5 and Fm12 in 2014 via their TCS blog recently. They also committed to keeping the perpetual licensing model for this version, no doubt due to the responses received on their recent web polls. -Matt Matt R.

Engineers as authors
Hi, Many thanks to everyone that answered my question as to how best to work with engineers who will soon become content providers for my team of technical writers. The answers (18) were mostly all of the same mind - have them use the authoring tool that they know (ex. Word), set up templates to facilitate importing into FrameMaker, and create guidelines/tools to allow them to prepare content that best corresponds to the required tasks. Some training may be useful individuals with weaker language skills. Your answers actually helped me nudge an existing project in a different direction. The engineers were being asked a level of writing that was beyond their abilities and a negative attitude was developing with regards to contributing expert content. Again, thanks for taking the time and sharing your experiences! You have clearly influenced how my project will develop.

Nice to hear you're not going to make that common mistake. Supposedly you can lock down Word templates these days to restrict styles to a defined list. I'll believe it when I see it.
