In that text insert is a list of several email addresses for support of various products. A Hypertext tag was inserted for each email address to convert those addresses in Acrobat so the addresses are active links. The Hypertext dialog in FrameMaker identifies Message Client as the Command, with message url as the Syntax message clientname parameters. All email addresses that are single words before @ convert fine. However, those email addresses that use support-@ drop the support- portion of the address.

Re: problem install framemaker 8 trial version
I ran into the same problem (on two different computers) with the GoLive 9 trial. I have also noted the same problem recently with a couple other Adobe applications. I suspect (yet cannot prove) the problem happens with Adobe's new serial number dialog box where you select to add a serial number or trial. Best, Denise L. Moss-Fritch -- Original message -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm attempting to download and install the free trial version of Framemaker 8 from the Adobe website. It downloads fine but during the install process I am asked for a serial number. I don't have one since this is a trial version. The Adobe support person I contacted first suggested re-downloading the sw (didn't help, the same thing happened), then said that I cannot run the trial of Frame 8 without first removing Frame 7 from my system. This isn't an option; we do our documentation work in Frame 7 here. I just wanted to evaluate Frame 8's conditional text features to see if we want to upgrade. Does this ring true - do I really need to remove Frame 7 to evaluate Frame 8? ___ 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/d.mossfritch%40comcast.net Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info. ___ 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: Framemaker classes?
Morning Dave, If you mean the Chicago area of the Great Lakes, you might take a look at http://www.ledet.com/training/software/adobe/framemaker/ . Never used the organization, but with our prior FrameMaker trainer gone I was looking the other day and found this group. Best, Denise L. Moss-Fritch -- Original message -- From: Dave Kerschbaum [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, I'll be leaving my current position as a lone writer in a couple weeks and want to make the transition as smooth as possible for the next person in this position. Does anyone know of any decent FrameMaker classes or other training that might be available to a company in the Great Lakes region?

Re: OT - Who should be responsible for proofing?
Good Day Art and Natalie, If you are looking at only spelling and grammar, perhaps. However, the problems encountered at our site deal more with content (complete procedures, no link from the help file to an application's Help buttons, lack of option and data column descriptions, and more) and the structure of documents. A couple of years ago our expert (of spelling and grammer) reviewed a contractor's publication and offered a couple of comments. What the expert had missed was the description of the software application was backwards of the application's actual purpose and operation. Afraid I must say that proofing a document depends upon the purpose of that proofing. Best, Denise L. Moss-Fritch -- Original message -- From: Art Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] In practical terms, it should be the person who gets zinged if there's a mistake and/or the person in the organization with the best spelling and grammar skills. If you're asking a process question, I'd say no, it should never be the writer because he/she has looked at the copy too much to look at it with fresh eyes. But back in practical terms, if the writer is the best speller / grammarian, he/she is likely to get stuck with the job.

Re: good flowchart software to use with Frame
Good Morning Beth, I too use SmartDraw, particularly for flowcharts that include images. I had a problem with the shartness of images until I tried saving the SmartDraw graphic as a .png file and using that in FrameMaker. The resulting graphic, whether print or Acrobat, is great.
