Our Co. just went from FM 7 to FM 8.
I've had no problems.
We have templates and all seem to work.
I kept FM 7 on my 'puter, just-in-case.
(You might want to keep both FM 7 FM 8 on for a while,
if you think there might be some issues.
Older FM 7 files seem to open just fine in FM 8.

Hi,
One client ask me to extract all lines that have any changes (=marked
with change bars) to get a rough idea about the amount of text to
translate. Anyone has an idea? There are many many pages, so manual
mark-copy-paste is not what I would like to do.

Hello, I'm new to this list. A colleague forwarded kimwrites' question

I've also experienced this feature and have come across a repeatable pattern
of failure.
Can others try this and report back whether it fails for them also?

Hi Gunnar,
This is rather easy to do if you have FrameScript. FrameScript is a
powerful and easy-to-use internals programming language for FrameMaker.
Using FrameScript you would would do the following:

I just tried this with my trial FM 8.0p273, and it is exactly as you
describe.

Although I've had Frame 8 since last summer, I've only just now migrated

thickness and tint is busted.

I see the same problem ... quite repeatable. Characters get eliminated
from the text line following a carriage return (even later entries!).

2. Starting, saving a file, closing it, and then re-opening the file (no

One additional observation:
The previous line where you do the carriage return, has to be shorter
than the next line to see the problem.
I.e., 12345, cr, 1234567890 shows the problem, but 1234567890,
cr, 12345 does NOT.

Referenced graphic file would be pretty standard.
OLE isn't reliable, and copying the graphic in makes the files too large.

Hello, Gunnar. We have a REXX script that processes MIF files to extract
only the changebar text. We use it to get a rough word counts for
translation. You're welcome to it if you don't find anything else.
To run the script you'd need to install a free REXX interpreter (I use

Hi, Gunnar:
One approach that might work is to use File > Utilities > Document
Reports > Word Count to compare the changed documents to their
originals.
If the originals aren't available, another approach might be to use
Find/Replace to replace all change-bar-marked text with nothing, and
In File > Preferences > General, select Show File Translation Errors
You may need to reboot FM after you change this, but when you do, the
Console window should be available.

My expience has been both prone to corruption, and because it's in the
OS, able to crash the whole system, not just the application.
Embedding graphics by reference works with the linked application just
as OLE does -- a PDF opens in Acrobat, an AI or EPS in Illustrator, a
PSD in Photoshop, and
REXX is a general-purpose interpretive scripting language developed by
IBM. They bundled it with OS/2, which is where I picked it up. As
scripting languages go, it's not bad. Some of the commands are difficult
to remember (if you want to open a file, you CALL STREAM), the syntax is

The primary difference between FrameScript and other scripting
languages is that FrameScript provides direct access to the internals
of FrameMaker itself. FrameScript exposes the FrameMaker API (which
you can also manipulate by downloading the Frame Developers Kit and
programming in C).
I have to chime in here.
