Running headers calling on formatted variables

Hi all, I'm using FM 7.2 on XP. In my document, running headers call on Heading1. I sometimes add in 1st-level titles (Heading1) the name of the product, which is a ProductName variable formatted in a certain way (half of the name blue, the other purple). When the product name appears in the

Automatic generation of inner front with chapter tabs

The chapters in our books are divided by index tab dividers. Right now the inner front always has 17 tabs. The tabs are represented by a table with automatically generated list of markers from each chapter. I think it will be too costly to deliver 17 index tab divider for manuals with only 8 or

Re: Running headers calling on formatted variables

Hi Mathieu I guess you are using a character format in the middle of your variable definition, for example blueFramepurpleMaker? I have tested this and, indeed, some properties of the character format (font family, weight, spread, stretch, superscript) are also displayed in the Running H/F,

Re: why am I having missing fonts in FM8, and how to correct?

Hi, Would you be willing to clarify this for the font novice? From what I read into your statement, it appears that Type 1 fonts (the old Adobe PS fonts) are being translated in the background into Unicode. Is that accurate? Is there anything special I need to do? Or, can I just go on to

RE: why am I having missing fonts in FM8, and how to correct?

Nancy, I absolutely did NOT say than any fonts are being translated either in the background or otherwise. FrameMaker uses Type 1 fonts (please stop using the term PostScript fonts - it means nothing since by definition, TrueType fonts are every bit as much PostScript fonts as are Type 1 fonts)

RE: Running headers calling on formatted variables

Yves and Mathieu, Unfortunately you can only apply color to an entire running header-footer. It is possible though to create the effect you're after, but you have to sacrifice using a user-defined variable in the heading. Since you only occasionally need it, it might be feasible. I'm sending

Menu item Fonts lost in Format drop down menu

FM 7.2 no longer shows the Font menu item in Format. I have checked various files, and, oddly enough I found an almost complete duplicate of FrameMaker 7.2 in C:\tmp. I don't remember having saved it there and I don't think anyone would do such a thing in my absence. I think the correct file for

Hi Dov, Thanks for responding. I apologize for my clear ignorance on the topic of fonts. I feel better now that I can safely use the fonts I have with Frame 8. Thanks, Nancy Adams In a message dated 8/14/2008 12:56:25 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Nancy, I

I apologize for my clear ignorance on the topic of fonts. You're not the only ignorant one here. It sure would be nice if somebody knowledgeable were to pen a comprehensive article on the subject of font types and FM for Intercom. But I am certianly not knowledgeable in the subject; like many of
