Hi,
If you're dealing with a lot of content reuse, you may want to at least
consider AuthorIT. That'll let you use Word in a fairly safe setup - or so they
say! Check it out - there's an evaluation version on their home page at

Well, there is nothing that will help you here, not color schemes, not
lighting, not anything. Although using a small fan to encourage blinking is a
clever idea.

Hi Art,
As Max said, Frame Server is no different from desktop FrameMaker except for
the license agreement. Any integration you can do with desktop FrameMaker
can be done with Frame Server, including FrameScript, Frame Developers Kit,
Miramo, Patternstream, etc.

Yeah, I'm pretty comfortable with the FM integration; I was actually

It probably wouldn't work because it's a tool designed to prevent
multiple people editing when the file is on a server, not in a version
management system.
Most version management systems physically replace the file server
with a database that checks files in and out to user's local systems.

FrameMaker's Network File Locking feature is very rudimentary.
All it does is check for the presence of a lock file with the same
name as the document but a secondary .lck extension in the same
directory as the document. If it finds a .lck file it displays a dialog

Hi all,
I'm considering asking my manager to buy FrameScript for me and I have to
justify it of course. Does anyone have any data on how long it takes to
become reasonably proficient using it. I have 4 years of sw dev experience
and 15 years of FM experience.
Thanks,

Hi Diane,
It depends on how much time you are willing to invest and what kind of
projects you are going to practice with. I would say that you can get up to
speed with it in a couple of months if you faithfully work with it an hour a
day. I may be way off on my estimate, but if it makes you

Looking at using Frame Server to automate pagination and production of
boilerplate text that pretty much fills one page of a two-page
instruction sheet that's packaged with different parts; content varies
depending on part number.
The second page would be manually produced.

I have found that in order to fully make use of the SVN tortoise
features, I have to save my files as *.mif files and then store them in
SVN. When I use them in Frame I convert them back. It's kind of clunky
but it works.
