Regarding the need to run Frame on multiple computers and manage
licenses: what about running Frame from a Citrix server? Is this an
option that Adobe supports for large installations?
Just curious,

Hi all,
Rick isn't talking about using the Word XML document format in this
case. He is talking about using the MSXML Active X control that is
built into windows.
FrameScript can pass instructions to this control, which opens up the
ability to generate custom XML directly from FrameMaker,
Writing as someone who develops plugins for FrameMaker, I would also
be interested to hear from users about what features they are most
interested in. From process automation, to database integration and
publishing, to XML roundripping, there are countless ways to extend
FrameMaker.

Hi Kelly,
If your FrameMaker documents are structured, the path isn't all that
difficult.
I have achieved similar results by writing a script in the FrameScript
language that does the following:
1) Recurse the element hierarchy of the Frame source files and encode
the documents in XML.
Hi John,
Such a plug-in would be easy to write. It also sounds like a sure-fire
way to get lots of hate mail when it performs exactly as designed.
Software dutifully follows the actions of the user, whereas the user
expects the software to follow his intentions.

Hi Deirdre,
When you generate a table of contents or a list of paragraphs,
FrameMaker inserts a new paragraph in the generated document for each
paragraph retrieved.
However, you can generate a table of Collectors, Effectivities, and CH

Hi Kristy,
I get around the pagination issue in my structured documents by adding
a pagination attribute to my section elements that includes the
choices Top_Of_Page and Top_Of_Column. This allows me to start any
section at the top of a page or column if necessary.

Hi,
An alternative would be to create a dedicated, named flow on the
master page with auto-connect turned off. This would result in a text
field on each page that you could use to enter the issue or revision
date.
However, some potential issues come to mind. Whether you use a master

Hi Mathieu,
The trick to migrating a word doc to structured Frame is to build the
structure of the FrameMaker document as you go.
For example, you might insert a Section element, followed by a nested
Heading element. You would then copy and paste the heading from the
Word document into the

Hi Scott,
A more direct path would be to write a script in the FrameScript
language that queries your database and builds the FrameMaker document
directly. You could easily build a structured or unstructured
document, depending on your preference.
If you have xml in your database, a
Hi Gunnar,
This is rather easy to do if you have FrameScript. FrameScript is a
powerful and easy-to-use internals programming language for FrameMaker.
Using FrameScript you would would do the following:

Hi Jacob,
I have used the table mapping method to migrate unstructured content
into structured FrameMaker, though this method does have limitations.
It works well if your original documents are consistently formatted
throughout. Once the migration is complete, you still have some
cleanup
Hi Rene,
Do you have a license for FrameScript at your company, by any chance?

You can try one of the fractions fonts available from Adobe. OpenType

These fonts allow you to type the numerator and denominator

Hi Framers,
A couple of weeks ago on this list I mentioned that I had developed a

imported graphics and copies them into a dedicated graphics directory
while updating the links. The same script can also be used to copy a

Naturally this makes the book impossible to archive and prone to error as
graphics are remapped or lost.
