Stopping a process in the middle.
Hi, guys... I have several books that are well over 400 files each. When I do a book-wide process, such as update book, TOC, etc., This can take 10 minutes. I sometimes need to stop it...like when I select book rather than document for search and replace. Is there a keystroke combo that aborts a launched processes?

Replicate groups of files
Hi, guys... I have a book with maybe 700 files. Our product is composed of multiple rules, or scenarios. Each scenario has five documents. Every time we add another scenario, maybe 20-30 per month, I replicate each of the five documents and add them to the book individually. What I would like to do is replicate a template set of the five files for each scenario in one action, then modify the files for the specific scenario. Any ideas on how I could approach this?

FM11 - Delay with F8 and F9 applying formats
Not really...I press F9 and the menu pops up almost immediately From: "Martinek, Carla" To: "framers at lists.frameusers.com" Date: 04/01/2013 11:00 AM Subject:FM11 - Delay with F8 and F9 applying formats Sent by:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com Has anyone else noticed a delay when using F8/F9 for apply formats in FM11? We set up the shortcuts for styles years ago so we only had to 1-3 keys for applying them. It seems to me in FM11 with the format list popping up, there's a 1/2 second or longer delay when trying to apply styles. For example, we use the key combo F8>b4>ENTER to apply one of our bullet styles. BUT.. in FM11, I've been ending up with our 1_Heading1 style (since its first in line of style names) because the system is playing catch up. It's registering F8, but then has to display the list, so "b4" is missed and it just registers the ENTER, applying the first style in the list. -Carla - ** This E-mail is confidential.

Putting variables in cross references
Hi, guys...I have an FM11 book that is composed of two document books, with each book having multiple volumes, them each volume multiple chapters. I have a variable defined for "Book 1" and "Book 2", and will soon have "Book 3" and "Book 4" (as we expand the book to more Lines of Business) and I have the appropriate variable copied to all files in the applicable book. I want to create a cross-reference format that goes something like "See , starting on page Y of book number Z" where X is the heading and Y is the book number variable.. What I can't figure out is to include a variable in a cross reference. What am I missing? Thanks John Posada - ** This E-mail is confidential. It may also be legally privileged.

Putting variables in cross references
Thanks, Robert...Here's the problem with using <$volnum> I'm already using it. :-) As is many documentation projects, the total scope of the documentation set was unknown and its getting bigger and bigger. As it got bigger, I want from Chapters, to Sections having multiple Chapters. I then went to Volumes having multiple Sections. Now, I have Books having multiple Volumes. I know what I'm going to have to do...stop moving up and move some down; move Sections down to Subsection, Volume down to Section, and Book to down to Volume. Unfortunately, for the next 60 days, that will be like changing a flat tire while going 30 down the road. |> | From: | |> >-| |Robert Lauriston | >-| |> | To:| |> >-| |John X Posada/HBUS/HSBC at HSBC02, framers at lists.frameusers.com | >-| |> | Date: | |> >-| |03/26/2013 03:03 PM | >-| |> | Subject: | |> >-| |Re: Putting variables in cross references | >-| |> | Sent by: | |> >-| |robert.lauriston at gmail.com | >-| You can't include variables in cross-reference definitions.

Need to get my FM11 styles under control
Hi, guys...As I created my template from scratch, I have a number of P styles that I've used, then stopped using. I therefore have a bunch of styles that I need to clean out...from about 500 files. I maintain a control document with only the valid styles and when I need to change or modify a style, I do it in this document to test it's impact, then import to all other docs in book. What this won't do is remove styles from all the files that aren't in the control document. How do you go about doing this? John Posada - ** This E-mail is confidential.

What is the recommended way of having a TOC appear in multiple places of a book?

What is the suggested approach? Are both volumes in a single .book file? Or do you have separate .books for each volume? If it's one book: 1. create the TOC and place it in Volume 1. 2. create an empty file where the TOC for volume 2 should go. 3. In this empty file, place the Volume 1 TOC as a text inset. - ** This E-mail is confidential. It may also be legally privileged.

Hi, guys... I have a 1,500+ FM11 book that is divided into two volumes. The book has a TOC and Index with both volumes. Both Volume 1 and 2 have covers and the pagination starts at 1 for each volume. Everything good. It's also conceivable that I'll eventually have Volumes 3, 4, 5, and 6. Now, I want to put the same TOC in the front of both Volumes and the Index at the end of both volume..

Need to insert hundreds of hyperlinks
Hi, guys... Over the next few days, I'll be needing to insert hundreds of hyperlinks. Right now, it is a three step process. Copy and paste the hyperlink. Highlight it, then select Special > Hypertext > Command Go To URL, paste hyperlink all over again. Highlight hyperlink again and apply defined Character format to make it underlined and blue.

Need to insert hundreds of hyperlinks
Thanks, guys... Looks like, without coding, I'm not going to be trimming alot off the process and being that I'll probably finish by Wed., any time savings from automating it will be eaten up by the time to implement the solution. If the answers did anything, it showed I was at least doing it the right way...not bad after being away from FM for about 5 years and 4 versions. BTW...to the poster who said I didn't have to re-identify it as a hypwerlink, I do...my average link is a URL along with a document to be openned from the URL and Acrobat doesn't recognize the file part, just the web URL address to the SharePoint folder,, so it goes to the folder but won't launch the file. When I include the whole path, works fine. Now, my next task, after I populate the links, is to index this book, now well over 1500 pages.

I'm sure it's possible to automate that with ExtendScript or FrameScript, or maybe with a free Windows keystroke macro recorder utility.

Incorporating external documents containing tables, into a book
Hi, guys...long time. Anyway...I have a book that when printed, comes out at over 900 pages and is composed of about 300 files. I have 25 8-page documents that I created in Word that I need to include in the book. I can supply them in either Word or PDF. However, the issue is that each Word document is a single table with tables inside of the tables and they don't come into the FM well because FM doesn't break rows between pages..and since each 8 page document is one table (PLEASE don't ask...its a battle I've been fighting since October), the eight pages just run down off the bottom of the first imported page. Any ideas? I also have the issue of working in a locked down environment, so installing other software is not an option. BTW...I'm on FM11. John Posada - ** This E-mail is confidential.
