Are you using structured FrameMaker? We used to do this using a FrameSLT
script. But it would need structure to work.

Flare has a cloud-based component called MadCap Central that provides various,
useful collaboration tools, but you don't have to buy/use that.

I'll come out of lurking for a minute to add my name to the list of recovering
Frame addicts. And we were serious FrameMaker junkies, too. We're the people
who wrote the Sourcerer plugin, if that name rings a bell. Sourcerer evolved
directly into all of Russ Ward's great structured FrameMaker

My question is not directed at you specifically, Monique, but I'm curious about
how the term "structure/DITA" came into play, as if they are interchangeable
and mean the same thing. I am seeing this used more and more in presentations
and online, and it really gets under my skin. DITA is one
I think you should pose the question as "What causes documentation to succeed?"
Present the issue in a positive light, not a negative one. For example:
- Employing trained, dedicated technical communicators.
- Involving technical documentation from the first day of the project.

Do you have the DLL that is needed for Frame 12? You can find it on the Mif2Go

There is one updated DLL that you need to make Mif2Go compatible with Frame 12.
As for FM 2015, we only tested the 30-day trial and we could not get Mif2Go to
run. We didn't spend any time investigating why. We assumed it was the same
issue as FM 12, that Mif2Go probably needed a small code

Ideally, we'd like to upgrade to the latest version of all software,
including FrameMaker v7.2 and WebWorks ePublisher Pro. However,
Sourcerer (which we absolutely rely on) does not yet support FrameMaker
v7.2. So for now we'll stick with Frame v7.1.

This may be overkill, but if you have FrameSLT

I tried it once just to see if it would work. And it did. It's not a
