Couldn't open filename
We are using FrameMaker 7.1, unstructured. I am encountering the following problem with files translated into Japanese from English. When I try to update the book containing the files, I get the following message in the Book Error Log window: FrameMaker did not update the generated files because of errors such as: Couldn't open metadata-cache.fm. I also get the dialog that says: FrameMaker did not update the generated files in 'help.book' because of errors during the update process. If I go to the book file and double click the file in question, it opens perfectly, with no unresolved cross-reference or unavailable font messages or any messages at all. If I close the file, however, and try to update the book again, I get the same error messages as before. And the file is definitely writable. And by the way, if I leave the file open and then try to update the book, I get the same messages pointing at a different file. And I also get the same result if I open, save, and close all the files in the book and try to update again. Has anyone else ever seen this behavior and, more importantly, does anyone have a solution to suggest?

RE: Problem running FrameScript in Frame 9
Hi Mike, I have tested opening the files in the book by choosing File Open All Files in Book, and they all open with no problem. It almost seems like the number of files is the problem, because if I remove a few from the book, starting at the file at which the crash happens, and then run the script again, it will crash at the first file after the few I have removed. And yet in Frame 7, the script runs just fine. Any further thoughts? By the way, I have also posted to framescript-users as you suggested.

FrameScript to convert table to paragraphs
Does anyone have an idea as to whether it's possible to write FrameScript that will convert a table to paragraphs? If so, what would that look like? What I am trying to do is write a FrameScript that will open a document that contains only one table, and convert that table into paragraphs "Row by row".

Framescript needed
I need a FrameScript that can process a Frame file containing documentation for many functions. In the file, the description of each function begins with a heading containing the name of the function. This heading is always in a particular paragraph tag that's the same for each function and is not used for anything else in the document. I need this script to remove from the file the description of all functions whose names do not appear in a list in a text file. The following is an example: Function A (a heading in an H1 paragraph tag) Body text and other headings (all H2 or lower) describing function A. Function B (a heading in an H1 paragraph tag) Body text and other headings (all H2 or lower) describing function B. Function C (a heading in an H1 paragraph tag) Body text and other headings (all H2 or lower) describing function C. Function D (a heading in an H1 paragraph tag) Body text and other headings (all H2 or lower) describing function D. In this example, I would like to provide a text file listing function A and function C, and have the script read this text file and then remove the sections for funtion B and function D. Does anyone have a script that could be adapted for this purpose? I am willing to pay for the priviledge of using it.

Different font metrics
I am getting the following message from FrameMaker when attempting to open a document to which we have recently added some Japanese characters: Document named functions.fm is formatted with different font metrics (for example, different character widths or kerning). Does anyone have any idea what this means and how to correct it?

Can a Framescript event script interact with an external program?
I would like to attach a FrameScript event script to the Open command in Frame. I would like this script to run an external program and pop up a warning in Frame based on the results of the external program. The external program can return either an exit code or a string. And a related question: the external program referred to above is Perforce. Does anyone know of a plug in that would allow Frame and Perforce to communicate?

Autonumber at end of paragraph
I'm using Frame 7.0. I want to use an autonumber, with its Position set to End of Paragraph, to insert some text after the text I type for the paragraph. Frame does this, except that it puts the autonumber text all the way at the right margin of the page. Does anyone know of a way to get Frame to put the autonumber text where the setting for Position implies it will put it: right at the end of the paragraph -- in other words, immediately after the text I type? If anyone can provide a solution, it will solve a big problem for us.

Basic question about Structured Frame
My company is considering switching to Structured Frame to solve our current problems with content reuse, and I have a question, the answer to which, to me, holds the key as to whether or not Structured Frame is the answer we're looking for. I would appreciate it if anyone with experience in using Structured Frame could respond to this question. The question is this: if our documents were authored in Structured Frame, could we use the same topic at a heading 1 level in one document and at a heading 2 level in another document? If so, in a very general way (no need to write a small book!) how does this work? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
