Assuming you're using Frame 8: 1. In Word, convert the table to tab-delimited text. 2. Copy the text out of Word, and use Paste Special to paste it into Frame as plain text. 3. Highlight the text, and select Table -> Convert to table ... 4. Choose your options, and click OK. H

I'm sorry, but you are either remembering incorrectly or incorrectly stating what you remember. Referencing graphics rather than copying them into FrameMaker makes a big difference in the size of the FrameMaker source files, but has _no_ effect on the size of the PDF file that is produced as a

Dear all, what is the average weight in Ko of your screenshots and illustrations? My docs are pretty heavy (up to 15-20 Mo), with graphics (mostly png) being around 15 Ko-70 Ko in average. That looks too much. What would the best solution be to reduce their weight (in batch if possible)? Tha

Installing TCS 2.0 in Windows 7, 64-bit

I'm installing TCS 2.5 on a w7-64 system and no issues. A pretty big plus for me is that Photoshop is a 64-bit app, so it's running noticeably faster. Haven't used RH yet, but I don't expect problems; worst case is run it in a 32-bit compatibility mode. Art Campbell ? ? ? ? ? ? ? art.campbell at

Hi Jo, one of more solutions, following with e-drawings and Acrobat 8 or 9 Pro Ext.: 1. Open Acrobat 8 Pro 3D or 9 Pro Ext. 2. Open the drawing with e-drawings, move it in the position you like it. 3. Push PRTSC and the graphic from e-drawings will save in Acrobat, you can save it as u3d in PDF.
