Re: FM9 and SDL Author Assistant: Has anyone used this?

Hi Alison I asked the same question in March. Cathy Arthur was the only one who had actually used it. This was her reply: I implemented it in my group several months ago. I really like it and it has definitely improved everyone's writing. We do not translate, but we do write for a very

RE: ARE: Framemaker 9 vs Microsoft Word

I was saying that Word can function reliably with large documents on a regular basis, provided one uses styles and templates, as recommended. (Just expect some exasperation with numbered lists.) The programming option makes it possible to do things that go beyond any other word processing

Re: ARE: Framemaker 9 vs Microsoft Word

For the numbering in Word, I use Sequential fields. They are very stable. Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 052-763-7133 On 08-Jun-10 4:06 PM, Tim J. Slager wrote: I was saying that Word can function reliably with large documents on a regular basis, provided one uses styles and

RE: ARE: Framemaker 9 vs Microsoft Word

Hi Tim, I agree that any publishing tool, no matter how good it is, can benefit from automation. Whether you are using FrameMaker or Word, there are usually tedious, repetitive, and error-prone tasks that can be automated. Since Word comes with VBA, you can automate tasks in Word without buying

RE: Acrobat 9 Frustrations...

Hi all, and thanks for the help so far... Yes, I found that it's the need of a patch that has caused my Acrobat problems. Yes, I was completely blind, and failed to see the link to the patches... If it was a snake it would have bit me -- I can never find the mustard in the refrigerator,

Re: Acrobat 9 Frustrations...

Chris, Grasping at straws here, but I seem to recall in FM8 that there was a patch issued that had a major flaw and so Adobe issued a replacement for it within a day or so, but kept the same patch number. Perhaps that is why you are seeing the 8b236 designation instead of 8p236. Maybe you

Page Numbering Format (# of ##) in an FM Book

Hello Framers, I need to setup page numbering formatted as Page # of ## in a book with several files. The Page Count variable (building block $lastpagenum), pulls the last page number of the current file, not the last page number in the book. So, it's correct in the last file of the book,

Re: Page Numbering Format (# of ##) in an FM Book

Jazz, If memory serves me, Rick Quartro has a script that will do this.   If he doesn't, and you are delivering PDFs, you can do this in Acrobat. I just tested it and it works with Acrobat 8.   In Acrobat, open you PDF and select Document Add Header and Footer. Then select Setup Page Number and

Jasmine, The easiest way I found was to insert the <$lastpagenum> variable in the very last page of my book, and cross-reference it for all the other chapters. It worked just fine. Berny Gagne From: "Graham, Jasmine S" To:
