Sure.  Create your destinations with "newlink" markers in Frame and then 
create the requisite hyperlink in Word.

ePublisher will even validate the links between the different document 
types in your project.  ;-)

And yes, this trick is also possible to do with DITA documents.  You can 
mix/match content from all three sources to create a unified deliverable 
with ePublisher.

Angela,

It is certainly possible to link between FrameMaker and Word documents 
with ePublisher.  You'll just be working with FrameMaker's hypertext 
markers to make it happen.

I've posted the required steps and a sample ePublisher project up on the 
WebWorks wiki if you'd like to try it out.



Enjoy!

Is there a way to link from a Frame source (H1) to an MS Word source (H1)?

Are you really wanting to link to a place inside a Word file, or are you 
wanting to link to a place inside a help file whose _source_ is Word? 

Angela was wanting to do the latter. As I pointed out, that's easily done using 
a hypertext command in FM, e.g.:

Message URL SomeHTMLPage.html#12345

In the HTML output (I'm assuming some kind of HTML-based help system here), 
this turns into something like this: 

Link

In the Word source for the destination HTML page, you need to do something to 
add an anchor tag to the intended destination, e.g.: 

Destination of Link

I know how to do that in FM, but not in Word -- although I'm sure there's a 
way, maybe using bookmarks.

Hyperlinking Between Frame and MS Word Source

[de Rouck, Tom (Gent)]

Hello Angela, 

I don't know which 'entry points' Word generates when creating (html) output 
from it for a heading 1 for example, but that can easily be found out by 
generating a Word doc. As an emergency solution you can then use the "pass 
through" option in Frame/Webworks to type a working link in Framemaker. You 
then have to leave the idea of perfect single-sourcing behind however...

Tom

Angela already asked this question on the WebWorks forum, but I suggested that 
she ask the question here, too, since it's not strictly an ePublisher question.

Forget the ePublisher side of things for now. I'd like to know if you can 
link/xref/whatever from a point INSIDE an FM file to a point INSIDE a Word 
file, and vice versa.

Re: Hyperlinking Between Frame and MS Word Source

I'm copying Bell Allums from WebWorks. There probably is a way but I
can't recall it.

You can also post this on the WebWorks user forum, which is a Yahoo
user group, search for it.

Hyperlinking Between Frame and MS Word Source

[Steve Johnson]

I'm copying Bell Allums from WebWorks. There probably is a way but I
can't recall it.

You can also post this on the WebWorks user forum, which is a Yahoo
user group, search for it.

It's always a good idea to provide information about your environment, software 
versions, etc. For instance, it would be helpful to know what kind of help 
output you're creating -- WebWorks Help, HTMLHelp (.chm), simple HTML, DHTML -- 
and whether it's being deployed on a server or installed locally. 

If the help system consists of HTML files, you can use hypertext commands of 
type "Go to URL" in the FM source and point them to the _output_ file (not the 
Word source), perhaps to an anchor within the output file, e.g.: 

Message URL SomeHTMLPage.html#12345 

I'm not sure how you create anchors in Word. In FM, you could use TopicAlias 
markers. With a little more information about your project, maybe someone who's 
done something similar can provide a more specific response.

Hyperlinking Between Frame and MS Word Source

[Angela Akridge]

Hi,

I know most, if not all of you, love Frame and would never consider using MS
Word. I too use Frame for most of my projects.

However, I have MS Word files that need to be maintained by other authors
(technical support), and these same files are used in my online help.

I basically have a "hybrid" help system that calls both Frame source and MS
Word source. I use WebWorks. The help output looks great, and a customer
can't distinguish the underlying source. However, I need to link
(cross-reference/hyperlink) between these two sources.

Is there a way to link from a Frame source (H1) to an MS Word source (H1)?
Since they are both proprietary, I think not.

Thank you,

Angela
