Offtopic: Questionnaire about documentation

Hi I am going to send out a questionnaire to our customers about documentation. I am interested in good advice, maybe a template or a sample questionnaire. I am interested in knowing whether customers prefer online help or the paper manual, whether they need translated screen shots or they can

Batch resizing of images

I'm converting a user guide to a training (i.e. landscape) layout and need to batch enlarge all of the referenced graphics by 150%. Found a nifty tool to do this: http://www.fotosizer.com/ - Ben Ben Hechter [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.semitake.com

Well sorta, I renamed one of the temp FM files with the random hex number and it works fine. I'll need to fiddle with the graphics some, but for a redline, it does the trick. Then I deleted the file from both the old and the new books and re-ran the compare. All of the chapters and

RE: Set file order in directory?

One other approach that I use in a situation such as yours, Nancy, is a combination of xplorer2 and Copy Path. I can easily access my several directories, sort each directory tab in the order I prefer, and then copy the path for the easy import into my FM doc. -Original Message- From:

Re: Set file order in directory?

Every time I need to import a graphic, Framemaker initially presents the graphics files to me in alphabetical order. It would be much, much more useful if every time I wanted to import the graphics, they were listed by date, most recent date first. That would be a useful feature. You may

Re: Set file order in directory?

Hi Nancy, This would be a Windows specific issue rather than one relating to FrameMaker. You can change the default behaviour of file listings until you have finished the task by following these steps. 1. Right-click Start, click Explore, and then click drive C. 2. On the View menu, click

Set file order in directory?

Hi, everyone. I am working on a large manual with many graphics that are imported by reference. The graphics are organized in several directories, but even so each directory contains many dozens of files. Every time I need to import a graphic, Framemaker initially presents the graphics files
