Re: [Framers] FrameMaker Data in Footer
I was wrong, by the way. It's not Leximation that has an LEP plugin, it's Silicon Prairie. https://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/ On Tue, May 15, 2018 at 10:41 AM, Jack DeLand wrote: > LEP = list of effective pages, I would guess. > > ___ > > This message is from the Framers mailing list > > Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com > Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com > Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/ > framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ > Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/ > listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com > Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com > -- Lin Sims ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker Data in Footer
I've set up LEPs a couple of times in unstructured FrameMaker. Getting an auto-generated LEP is "tricky", but possible. Try setting up a Flow B Body text frame to contain your revision and date information. These will usually be the same across all pages (at least to start), but you will need the ability to change these on a per-page basis. Tag each of these with a paragraph format that you can use to build the LEP. One trick ... because the revision and date values are (probably) initially identical, set these in a paragraph autonumber format. That will let you populate the initial values (relatively) easily, and override the para format when the revision/date values change for a particular page. Tricky, but possible.

Hi Julie, here some things to read about "How to Create a List of Effective Pages" with FrameMaker https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-framemaker-how-to-create-a-list-of-effective-pages/ Our company has developed a whole set of Add-Ons for a LEP -scenario to make the workflow much faster and easier. It is used by a European company (air traffic controller) with ~ 10 branches. -- Klaus Göbel (Development) __ 4XScripts Ute Mitschke Münchenerstraße 35A 82362 Weilheim Tel.: +49 881 12233116 +49 173 9439973 Mail: developm...@4xscripts.com https://4XScripts.com ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker Data in Footer
A LEP is a list of effective pages. I think Leximation has a plugin that can help with that. I'm not sure I understand the rest of it, but it sounds to me as if you could use variables for the "TA number, page #, revision # & date", couldn't you, and then just use the variables you need in the Running H/F and in the text?
