Re: Multiple RGB color definitions
PNG is a great format for screen captures and other bitmap images. It's small, and it works well in both print and online output. However, if the wrong settings are used for saving the PNGs, the FrameMaker color catalog becomes bloated with RGB color definitions. (Okay, the settings aren't really wrong, just problematic for us FrameMaker users who don't want to scroll through zee-billion RGB color definitions.) To fix the problem: 1 Open in a graphics program and resave the PNGs; make sure you don't subset the colors. In other words, don't select any options such as optimize and be sure to save in the highest number of colors that the graphics program lists as an option. (The PNGs are imported by reference, yes? If not, you'll need to reimport them.) 2 Save the FrameMaker file as MIF to clean out the unneeded RGB color definitions. 3 Open the MIF file and save it back to FM format. -Terry Smith ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

Re: How can I use a User Variable *inside* a marker?
You can add user variables to markers with the MarkerTools program from Leximation. -Terry Smith ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
Re: Unwanted re-ordering of files in booked publications
This bug still occurs in FrameMaker 8.0p273, XP SP 2. -Terry Smith === Rebecca wrote: FM7.0, fully patched, XP SP 2. I found that I can reliably make a file move within today's book by renaming another file in the book, from the book window. If I rename something and end the renaming by pressing the Enter key, all is well. But if I end the renaming by clicking on another filename in the book, the file I clicked on moves within the book, at the end of FM's rename and save process. The file I renamed stays in place. Weird. And very annoying - my instinct is to end the renaming by clicking somewhere ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
