[TCP] FrameMaker Conditions that won't go away

Cross posted to the Framers list, but that's taking forever to show up... Thought I'd ask here. Need to find a solution to this ASAP. == OK, I'm stumped. Here's the situation: I used Framescript to rename a conditional tag before I send a set of book files out to someo

Hi Carla, Have you restarted your computer? It seems that 90% of the problems I have with my computer are solved this way. Lisa G. On 3/7/07, Martinek, Carla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Cross posted to the Framers list, but that's taking forever to show > up... Thought I'd ask here. Need to

I'm not sure where the conditions are and are not appearing. Are they appearing and not appearing in the chapters? Are they displaying or are they just named? Are they only named at the book level? Remember, the book stores a list of condition tags, amongst other things. This might be an issue

The suggestion to reboot/restart is good advice. If not that, can you rename the conditional tag through the "edit conditional tag" option in the conditional tag window? --- "Martinek, Carla" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > However, when I go to show/hide conditions at the > book level, OLDTAG > s

Well, plugin aside, here's what's needed. 1) Create the new condition. 2) Apply the new condition so you can copy the conditional text settings. 3) Find the old condition. 4) Replace by pasting. 5) Do 3 and 4 for all files in the book. 6) Open the .book file in a text editor and delete the refere

Summary: 1. I used a Framescript to change all text tagged with OLDTAG to being tagged with NEWTAG. No text in any of the files is tagged with OLDTAG at this time. 2. As the condition OLDTAG still existed in each file, I deleted that condition from each and every file. OLDTAG d

Given 1-5, what you needed to do was save the bookfile.book as a MIF, bookfile.mif. Open bookfile.mif in a text editor. Search for OLDTAG and delete the entry for the OLDTAG condition. Save the MIF file as text using bookfile.mif name, close the MIF, open bookfile.mif in FM and save it as bookfile.

Hello everyone, I have been asked to modify some graphics for the IT department using PhotoShop CS2. The only thing I don't know how to do (or if it's even possible) is to take a graphic that has shades of fuschia and change it to shades of green. I have been reading in the help files and found in

This was interesting because I was just struggling with the very same issue that Carla had. I tried Sean's first suggestion and opened the Book file in Notepad and then in WordPad. Unfortunately, all the strange characters made it impossible to remove the two tags that I was trying to delete from

Basically, Frame is stupid at times. But we all knew that. :-) The book file should NOT hold on to archaic information like tags that have been deleted -- perhaps this sort of shortcoming will be addressed in the next version. One can hope, anyway. I've been using this program for 16 years now,

NOTE: If you've not done this before, save a backup of the file you intend to play with. Actuellement, Sean's first suggestion was to save the file as MIF and ONLY then open the file in notpad. After you make your edits, save the MIF as a text file with the MIF extension and close the file. The

No, you don't need to do make a picture/list of the files -- there's a much easier way!!! 1. Create a new book file (don't name it yet), and leave it open. 2. In the original (old) book file, select all of the files. 3. Right-click on the files and drag them to the new book file. I would use t
