Flare can replace both FrameMaker and RoboHelp, the core of TCS. I don't like having each topic in a separate file, lack of true WYSIWYG for PDF, or the inability to export change markup to PDF, but it's a highly competitive alternative, especially with RoboHelp. I don't think either has kept up

Framers, Is there any way to get an actual broken line rule pattern in FrameMaker tables? My human factors guys insist that I do a certain table with dashed rulings. I know about the Edit button in Custom Ruling and Shading and that it allows editing of the width and tone of the rulings by

Hi Robert, What formats does your wiki export? You may be able to go from content exported from the wiki directly into FrameMaker. If you want to explore this further, please contact me offlist. If others are in the same situation, I would be glad to hear from you. Thank you very much. Rick

Hi Craig, FrameMaker doesn't support dashed lines in table rules. You can do dashed lines in InDesign tables, but not FrameMaker. Rick Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-283-5045 r...@frameexpert.com From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com

Hi, all. As part of my project to move all my documents from FrameMaker to Confluence, I had been planning to use Mif2Go to get my FM documents into other formats. Well, the opportunity to test/start a similar process arose sooner than I expected. One of my specifications needed urgent updates

I think the problem would be how to automatically size the anchored frame for the vast variety of cells, straddled and otherwise. My own take on the use of dashed lines from a visual perception aspect is that they will just create a visual buzz that makes it more difficult to see the data.
