[Framers] Needed: A template god/goddess
So, My longtime template goddess has retired and I am in need of some assistance in setting up some aspects of my FM template (I have FM2019). Some parts of the template are a no-brainer, but others are going to require that an auto-numbered paragraph tag to be displayed in the middle of a specific graphic/icon - it's essentially my client's preferred symbol (a geometric shape) and color and in the middle of this the chapter number must be displayed and they would also like a smaller version of this for the page number and a section number. Yea, I could figure it out if I mucked around for a while, but I am slammed w/ the writing deadline for this and beyond basic template setup (like a line under a chapter title - woo hoo!) I tend to go for very basic templates and focus on the writing . . . which is what they hired me to do. For someone who is skilled in this, I bet you would be done like that (snaps fingers) but I am willing to pay for up to 2 hours of work at my bill rate (to be discussed offline) . . . if this is something that suits your fancy, please let me know, and we can make time to talk. I have mockups of what is needed. TIA and Happy Friday.

If no one contacts you, try the Adobe Template Pack 1, Book 7 style. That has a background image for the chapter number and I'm sure you could adapt that easily.

Re: [Framers] Needed: A template god/goddess
Hmm, I just looked at my copy of the template pack and the square behind the chapter number is missing. How annoying. The good news is that if you click File > Document > New and then click Explore Standard Templates at the bottom of the page, there's one with the color block under User Guide > Chapter. You should be able to replace that color block with your customer's graphic. If you put an appropriately sized version of it on a reference page, you should be able to bring it in with Frame Above or Frame Below paragraph for the section numbers and page numbers. Might take a little fiddling. On Fri, Apr 16, 2021 at 11:49 AM Lin Sims wrote: > If no one contacts you, try the Adobe Template Pack 1, Book 7 style.

Ah, hah! It turns out Adobe has been including updated to the current version of Frame as part of its Samples directory! C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe FrameMaker 2019\Samples\MoreSamples\Books\Bkstyle7 Has the correct page layout for that color block. I hope this helps.

Re: [Framers] Paragraph Style Issue
Be aware that there are three settings for the check boxes. A check mark is on. A solid box is "keep as is." And an empty box is off. When I first started in FrameMaker, I thought clicking the box once, so that the check mark was gone was turning it off. It is not. It sets it to as is, which is unchanged. It takes two checks to turn it off.

Re: [Framers] Paragraph Style Issue
Hi Winifred It's not that I have more than one checkbox checked, it's that the checkmark shows for both Lower Case and Upper case when I select each option from the dropdown menu (which is truly weird). This hasn't affected any of the other new styles I created or the ones I updated. I won't get back to the template until late this afternoon, at which point I'll give your MIF scenario a try.

Subject: Re: [Framers] Paragraph Style Issue Hi Alison, Do you have this issue for all paragraphs? No matter in which paragraph your insertion mark is? If only in a specific paragraph, there is a special paragraph property which you can see only in MIF. This would allow only that you enter text, but you cannot change the paragraph format. Enter some characters which you can find easily, e.g. ΓΌ. Then convert to MIF, open in a text editor and search for these characters. The paragraph could have a property nach . Just change this to No. Save and open in FrameMaker. If this is not the case, your description does not match my Paragraph Designer. I have only a single checkbox for Small Caps/Uppercase/Lowercase and not two as you describe.

The "as is" attribute is used to specify that the style will not affect the given property when the style is applied to existing text.

A check mark is on. A solid box is "keep as is." And an empty box is off. When I first started in FrameMaker, I thought clicking the box once, so that the check mark was gone was turning it off. It is not. It sets it to as is, which is unchanged. It takes two checks to turn it off.
