Anyway/tool to update cross-ref defs easily

2009-03-26 Thread kanti.m...@schange.com
Hello: I'm about to update templates to use simple, sequential page numbering, rather than chapter-pagenum in our books. Of course, that's a number of definitional updates, one of which I so dislike is the cross-ref formats. Is there any tool (such as IXgen for index markers) or tricak that

why am I having missing fonts in FM8, and how to correct?

2009-01-21 Thread kanti.m...@schange.com
I never thanked all for their help. Just recently, I read the article from Kevin Siegel's Weekly Skills and Drills about NOT remembering fonts. When I opened the docs with that setting, and saved them, and reset the DO remember fonts, Frame conveniently forgot all about the missing items. Kan

Hello: I know FM8 uses unicode, rather than PS fonts as before, but in an entire group of 10+ writers, some of us are getting font errors, and some are not, now that we're all using the ATCS. Further, many of the errors are for things like Helvetica, which is there anyway! Is there a pointe

TW suite questions for Frame8

2008-03-25 Thread kanti.m...@schange.com
Two questions regarding the Adobe TW suite, which I'm evaluating. I played around with Adobe Captivate to create a small flash file desribing screen motions in my application. I wanted to add a "Show Me" link in my Frame doc. But, the only way I found to do that was to include the movie in a

Problem with ptag catalog in FM8

2008-03-13 Thread kanti.m...@schange.com
Hello: Downloaded the trial of the TechComm Suite this week, and started working on a book immediately (need the RoboHelp section). I noticed that all our "infrastructure" ptags, preceded with a tilde (~tablefooter), are now showing up at the top of the catalog, rather than the end of it. An

Thanks very much Rebecca/all. Unwanted conditions, and other components, seem to be beyond anything that Adobe thinks would be good to address. Add-ons sound like a reasonable solution. Kanti "rebecca officer" 01/15/2008 04:25 PM To , cc Subject Re: MIF fragments Hi Kanti

Hello Austin: Could this be your problem, taken from the Microtype FM8 bug list ( http://www.microtype.com/FM_bugs.html): Cross-file links in PDFs authored in FrameMaker 8.0 use Unicode-encoded file paths and file names, which are only supported in Windows Acrobat/Reader 8.x or MacOS Acrobat/Re

FM8 crashing when book building: Update

Hello all: Thanks for great input. Ran more tests yesterday in which I removed all char formatting with IXgen/FM6, then reopened/saved in FM8 and generated the book: all was well. Also, book that was crashing in FM8 definitely survived without our IX template. BUT: the generic index maintai

Hello Alan (and Kelly) Kelly: your book's symptoms are exactly the same as mine: an unformatted index (I believe) survives. Alan: I shall check the char formats, but that's a good possibility. Thanks. Does anyone know if this has been reported? I've been having difficulty finding anything

Hello all: I'm just testing FM 8 for our group: we are still using FM6. In two tests with existing books, the first (a long doc plan w/several chapters), opened and built fine. The next book (a user manual with index) crashes frame consistently. Narrowed this down to the index. Even removi
