manipulating headers / footers through API?

2006-01-11 Thread Jakob Fix
Hello, I'm currently exploring the feasibility to modify/update what is displayed in the running footer through an API client which reads information from an initialization file, and updates the footer accordingly, like this: maker.ini 8<8<

manipulating headers / footers through API?

2006-01-11 Thread Niels Fanøe
Hi Jakob, Can't you manipulate the markers "Header/Footer $1" and "Header/Footer $2" instead, and just include those markers in the footer? I've made a FrameScript program that does this in order to create footers for an index, so I guess you can do that with the API. Might prove easier.

manipulating headers / footers through API?

Hi Jakob, Instead of adding text to the footer directly, you can add variables to the footers. Then, use your API client to modify the variables' values. You are right that text frames are graphics. The FDK has a function for determining if a graphic is a text frame, etc. Header/Footer text

Kerning of space in FrameMaker

Tables by themselves don't have run-around properties the way a graphic or an anchored frame does. So, two ideas: Without knowing a little more about the usage, I think the easiest thing to do would be to create a new master page with five text frames: 1,2,3,&4 in the quadrants in a single text

Context rule to detect children?

There appears to be no context rule that can detect whether an element has children - {last} and {notlast} refers to siblings. This is giving me some headaches in controlling the vertical spacing in lists that include a run-on paragraph in the last list element: the {last} rule is obeyed, even

Setting runaround properties on a table

Hi, Heather: If the columns are created from two connected text frames, rather than a single text frame with a two-column property, there's no way to straddle the columns with a paragraph format, anchored frame, or table. You should be aware that even in a two-column text frame approach, a

For those interested, there is a possible FrameScript solution that would solve the problem in PDFs. A script could go through the TOC and look for lines with character property changes. It would duplicate the first Hypertext marker and insert it whereever there is a character property change.
