Re: FrameMaker on MacOS Retina display?

2015-01-16 Thread Ted Steinberg
I had the same problem with Frame 12 on Win 7 and I reduced my screen
resolution to 1440 x 900 and kept the text at the smaller setting and I no
longer have the problem.

Will my solution solve your problem? Dunno & here's hoping.

Re: FrameMaker 12 Cloud

2014-05-20 Thread Ted Steinberg
Right on, about automatic upgrades. They should be optional.

Here's the gotcha! Should be plural, not singular:

   1. Adobe suffers from the inability to cohesively deal with post sale
   help issues within a product by version, or by PDF's, on-line, forums,
   including **in-person tech support*. Adobe suffers? So do we!
   2. Adobe displays an endemic nonchalance to providing focused answers to
   questions without misdirecting the issue to other releases, some being
   several years old with different interfaces.
   3. Additionally, while seeking a legitimate answer to one thing or the
   other, it's not helpful to be smacked in the face with salubrious
   advertising, especially, a) if it's redundant to a current subscription.
   (How many times to I need to subscribe to the same products in the same
   suite?), or b) it's for any other product which Adobe's
   kaleidoscopic visionaries are favoring.

**Case in point:*

   1. to my pleasant surprise, twice, last week, I receive a call from
   Frame Tech Support in New Delhi regarding Frame 12's 2nd patch creating a
   shrunken pear shape when installed in Windows 8.1.
   2. I was informed that my issue was not the first. (Cool, I'm not the
   only thorn among roses.)
   3. Here's the rub! The tech, via Adobe Connect, was operating in Windows
   7 Pro, a fact not provided me until the end of call number two.
  1. He could see that Frame 12 and the 1st patch were not corrupted.
  2. He could see the mess caused by the 2nd patch.
  3. So he tweaked my registry, whereupon, I began to suspect he was
  not using or familiar with Windows 8.1. His pointer was from the wrong
  kennel.
  4. He admitted failure and decided to escalate the issue and assured
  me I would hear from Adobe a/o yesterday. (Monday, the 19th.
Tuesday in New
  Delhi, giving the escalator repairman an extra day to de-kink it.)
  5. Meanwhile, the computer was now acting odd. So, on Sunday, I did a
  complete repair within 8.1 (Several hours were dedicated
  to repairing Adobe's well meaning but ill prepared support.)
  6. FYI, I have received no contact from Adobe via email, telephone,
  or carrier pigeon.

Today, I am running Frame 12 without any patches. It works fine. Who knows
what I'm missing from the subsequent patches? Bad joke intended!

Thanks, Steve, for getting on Maxwell for his well intended, though myopic,
marketing pitch which sounded like: "hurry up. All aboard. Train's leaving!"

When I take the A Train, I expect to get where I'm going. My apologies to
Duke Ellington.

Ps. Word Mongers - hmm, nice name. I've been called a Word Carver. I hope

Re: Frame Upgrade Gotcha my Current TCS 5 Subscription

2014-05-16 Thread Ted Steinberg
Here's what's odd:

   1. I acquired the first download for TCS 5 on 2014.01.21, the day
   I subscribed and paid for the yearly plan. Insofar as I knew it was not a
   'trial version."Although it's somewhat of a trial in the effectivity sense.
   2. Two weeks ago, Adobe Application Manager announces an upgrade for
   Frame 12 along with one for Acrobat XI Pro & I install both at the same
   time. I go to Frame and it's SUBAR. [Shrunked Up Beyond All Repair.]
   3. I de-install it, then I re-install the one from the first download.
   No more SUBAR. Hurray, I'm back in the saddle again (clippity clop,
   clippity clop).
   4. The next day, on computer start-up, Adobe Application Manager say's
   "howdy" and I look at the Frame 12 patch = same number as before. Not
   heeding the words of Gary Cooper, I decide to try it one more time,
   thinking that Acrobat is upgraded and looking AOK, maybe it's an anomaly
   (no-see-um = biting insect, smaller than a  bug). Same result as in 2.,
   above. *What did Gary Cooper say, I know you're asking?*
  1. "Ain't no horse that can't be rode." [Reference to Joan Crawford
  is impertinent.]
  2. "Ain't no cowboy that can't be throw'd." [He loved and lost, it's
  been said.]
   5. Once more I repeat the de-install re-install process. Another Hurray.
   6. Later in the day, within Frame, I decided to check for updates, and
   there was one suggested; the version was the same as in Adobe Application
   Manager. For a change of pace, I try the in-Frame patch & once more I got
   on the horse and got off the horse with ready assistance from the horse.
   [How does this horse know Gary Cooper?]
   7. Two days ago, having heard from two of Adobe's Frame Wizards about
   their interest in horses, I decided to de-install all of TCS 5, and
   re-install only Frame. Then I applied the patch & it failed, so I repeated
   the de-install re-install of Frame, then Acrobat; both worked; then the
   other parts; they look OK & I assume they work.
   8. Yesterday, Adobe Application Manager say's hello and this time I see
   lots of patches for TCS 5 but none for Frame. I install the patches, check
   to see if they are sober = AOK, I reopen Frame, go to updates, and it tells
   me I am up to date. Yippee. I check the Frame version I am using and it is
   the same one which proceeded this merry go round. *Someone is trying to
   corral the horse.*
   9. Today, in Frame, I recheck for updates and I am up to date as in #8.
   Frame update gives me it's blessing,* the Horse is not running in The
   Preakness!.*

Conclusions:

   1. Frame's wiz kids will re-patch the patch, and it will reappear
   refined and sober-like.
   2. If Adobe goes into the merry-go-round business, I'm gonna ride a
   Tiger or a Lion; I'm cautious about their horses.
   3. Adobe's Suites should include Dramamine: download once, don't toss
   many!

I know my response is too big for fortune cookies, but it's perfect for
wastebaskets!

Re: Frame Upgrade Gotcha my Current TCS 5 Subscription

2014-05-14 Thread Ted Steinberg
Glad to share the pox.

Following this, you will receive a copy of my email to Adobe on this issue.

FWIW, in Frame 12 the trial version, since reinstalled umpteen times, when
I check to see if there is an update, the response I get is that this
version is up to date. It is the old version, prior to the patch.

Moreover, today Adobe Application Manager provided me with several patches
for the other TCS 5 apps, but Frame's latest patch was not included, so
maybe Adobe is performing a patch for the patch.

Oh yes, at Adobe's website under the Technical Communication Suite help
page there is a column for install problems, when I click on it everything
that I am direct to pertains to the Creative suite.

When I visit the chat dude to find out what I should not reinstall in the
TCS suite, in terms of 64 bit (my machine) or 32 bit, he tells me I can
install both but I don't have to. Yippee.

Oh well,

Frame Upgrade Gotcha my Current TCS 5 Subscription

2014-05-08 Thread Ted Steinberg
Read to *"The Cure or is it a Gotcha?"* [Because this is why I need advice.]

I am running TCS 5 on Windows 8.1 on a 64bit desktop with 16gb Ram.

Yesterday, May 6th, beginning the first day of my 80th year, Adobe
Manager presented me with my present, an upgrade to Acrobat Pro 11, which
went AOK, and Frame 12.0.2 which went crazy  = afterwards, I opened my last
saved docs and a book from the day before and everything (tabs, pods,
frames, et al) were:

   1. SUBAR (Shrunked Up Beyond All Repair  = works for me.)
   2. Sizing Selects, via Zooms or Pic Lists ("fit window to text
   frame") were neither clickable or visible other than with a loupe,
   which by that time, I was loopy.
   3. The pull down menus which I hoped would have a preference or view box
   to select or deselect could only be acceptable to either Ray Charles or
   Helen Keller. As of this writing, neither perform tech support for Adobe
   despite their obvious qualifications.

*At least I had an excuse; *

   1. I call my publisher, he appreciates satire, and I tell him the first
   draft of "Double Jointed Peanuts" is 4F, unfit for duty, and that another
   conscript will arrive once I contact Adobe and write Framers and get out of
   my SUBAR.
   2. I gave up on getting a quick fix from Adobe; their support system was
   developed for mad hatters, but not old ones.


*The cure = or is it a gotcha?*

   1. After several restarts of Frame while checking to see if other docs
   were equally SUBAR (they were), including my trying to create a new doc, I
   thought maybe the upgrade was defunct and not a competence test for ancient
   Framers
   2. I de-installed Frame, which was, as suggested by Adobe Manager,
12.0.2.
   3. I do a restart, and then go to Adobe TCS 5 set up in my download
   folder and reinstall Frame 12.0.0.329.
   4. TCS subscription recognizes me, now all my shrunken heads are ready
   for action = no problem. Frame 12.0.0.329 works like an effective
system. *Back
   to work, no more excuses!*

*Now for the Oops!*

   1. Today, one day older and wiser, on boot up, Adobe Manager has another
   present for me.
   2. I eyeball the upgrade = Frame 12.0.2.
   3. What should I do, try the upgrade again or let sleeping dogs lie.
  1. If it works, hurray,
  2. If it fails, I'm back in the loop, what do I accomplish other than
  to tell Adobe their updating system is SUBAR?

  what's the work-around?

Re: TCS5 Robohelp to Wordpress Blog Templates?

2014-03-11 Thread Ted Steinberg
Wow! All I will have to do is to convert Frame Files by save as to XML, and
that should do it. And the free plugin seems like it's all I need.

I will try this later today or tomorrow and let you know.

Hmm, I see how I confused everyone. About the most I'd load at one time
would be 7 - 15, each would then be setup to post on subsequent days.

I certainly see the simplicity of what you are proposing. I was just hoping

Re: TCS5 Robohelp to Wordpress Blog Templates?

2014-03-10 Thread Ted Steinberg
Thanks, Robert,

I want to publish a daily blog in WordPress by repurposing subject matter
already completed in Frame. I wish to avoid needless reformatting in
WordPress especially:

   1. Fonts
   2. numbered and bulleted lists
   3. tables
   4. figures
   5. Chapter Titles and numbers of
   6. Headings 1 - 3.

Remember, "Author Once, Publish Man!" An old familiar tune performed at
seminars, I attended, given by Adobe product managers 15 years ago, give or
take.

Whatever the situation ends up being in my search for a seamless, not
seem-less, solution, I will take what I get, and perhaps someday, I can
just push the button, and TCS5 will do what it ought to do, and I will
laugh the laugh of the "lucky me's.

Hi Scott,

I will try your ideas except for writing a script. The only scripts I know
how to write are supposed to be humorous. although my two dogs and one cat
might disagree; a captive audience is a good thing, but I wouldn't go to
jail to prove it. Reading one's ideas to dogs builds confidence. Cats, not
so much!

I will let you know in a matter of days if the file in the cake you sent me
does the trick. *One of my dogs liked that one!*

Re: TCS5 Robohelp to Wordpress Blog Templates?

2014-03-09 Thread Ted Steinberg
Hi Art,

Hi Art,

Good stuff. It seems like I've struck a needed chord for repurposing
content into blogs.

I've been talked into doing a blog on my own stuff for a former client, a
marketing consultancy with a built in readership in excess of 8,000, so the
worry about getting readers is not where I'm focused. I want to make it
easy to publish my gibberish without having to manipulate it after getting
it into a theme that makes this possible.

Your remarks in general and specifically regarding the WordPress Content
Management System tools et al really interest me. I will be using their
premier plan which I think provides such tools.

Thanks for your contribution, I appreciate it.

TCS5 Robohelp to Wordpress Blog Templates?

2014-03-07 Thread Ted Steinberg
Hi Framers,

I recently subscribed to TCS5. Prior, I was a Frame 7.1 user with a bit of
Frame 10 & 11.

The Situation:

   1. on an intermittent basis, I want to publish, various Frame
   Unstructured Docs as "responsive html5 docs"
   2. and upload them somehow into whatever WordPress Premium blog template
   is suitable
  1. to retain the look of what I had in Frame, including tables and
  figures,
  2. with little or no reformatting in such WordPress Template.
  3. In other words I do not want to waste time doing a cut and paste
  remake.
   3. If this can't be done seamlessly via the above or by RoboHelp, can I
   download a WordPress Template into RoboHelp, or Captivate, and somehow
   get my Frame Docs to be re-formatted so future uploadings into WordPress
   will provide the advantages of #2 above?
   4. I have queried Adobe Forums and WordPress Forums and have struck out.
   5. Before I start using WordPress I need to understand the paradigm.
   (Fancy term.)

I specifically liked the idea of TCS where I can create blogs and publish
books for ePubs, I have journalized over a 25 year period, 25 chapters,
2,000 pages, in one book, containing 6,000 zircons of wisdom (controlled by
an Alphabetized Paragraph List) which are dying to see the light of day so
they can sparkle up the vision of needy marketing types: needless or needy,
you pick!.

If anyone can advise me on how to seamlessly propagate my baloney, I will
be eternally grateful. To show my appreciation, I will commission a
life-sized, pigeon-proof, plastic statue made of you which glows in the
dark and is impervious to revolutionaries who could tear it down whether or
not you have a goatee.

Re: Cannot insert the infinity symbol and other special character problems

2014-02-16 Thread Ted Steinberg
I am using FrameMaker 12, unstructured = I don't see utilities under
the file menu. Where would I find this ability to do diacriticals et al,
and TM, Registered, et al?

My workaround is to use windows character map, from which I copy and paste
the symbol I want, regardless of how it looks, into my frame document, then
I go to Frame's Character Catalogue and select the "default paragraph font"
and that does it. I have not had an incompatibility issue because I think I
am using well known adobe fonts. Am l AOK with this or an accident waiting
to happen?

*Is the above workaround the best solution or does Frame 12 have a better
one?*

Thanks,

TED

Exporting to TypePad

2009-03-16 Thread Ted Steinberg
1st. I would like to export unstructured Frame 7.1 paragraphs directly
into whatever TypePad uses for creating blog posts; paste in is OK.
TypePad's support FAQ'a contain nothing on Framemaker.  I have about
4500 journal entries (paragraphs) into a 1,400 page Frame Book w/an
APL, TOC, and 50 chapters, of marketing concept notes taken over 20+
years; a few of my previous clients have asked me to put the best ones
into one or more blogs - for their sales & marketing staffs. The idea
of having to retype them and redo them is a bit much; I even called
Methuselah, he's older than I, but not by much, but he was too busy
with his own memoirs, given all those wives, to offer any advice other
than to not take steroids or Viagra or any performance enhancing
substances; but he did recommend that any advice from a Framer, though
addictive, was OK. So if anyone has some advise on how to do get from
Frame to a TypePad Blog with a minimum of pain I would be most
welcome.

2nd. I lost the WebWorks program that came with Frame, and it is not
installed. I mention this because, the thought is gnawing at my
clouded brain, that maybe it was good for something like this. If it
would be handy to have, any idea how I can get the program for the
price of a thank you? Like shipping it in a returning Banana Boat?

Regards from a retired Californian living in Costa Rica, having
improved the IQ's of both areas, although my Costa Rican relatives may
take exception to this remark.
