Of course, forgot about that one, - was looking for it in the character-designer.Thanks, that worked perfect.

Hi - Can anyone apply a condition to a textrange? Like everyone else (evidently), doing so causes FM to crash every time. Seems as if this would be an scripting task that is rather common, and it's...

Hi all, I'm a complete beginner at FrameMaker and scripting of the same, and I've been tasked with converting S1000D documents in XML format into FrameMaker files using an unstructured template. I've...
View ArticleRe: Formatting elements with pgfFmt
Hello Lisbeth, I am sorry but you are taking a completely wrong approach to the problem. Opening an XML file in FM and saving it as an FM file does not make it unstructured and it never will, or...

Thanks for your quick reply, that's pretty much what I expected to hear. I'll look into option 1 and see if I can make heads or tails of it. Do you have any recommended reading for me if I want to...

If you can, give me a call so I can ask some specific questions about what you are doing. Thanks. Rick Quatro585-283-5045

Lisbeth, Another alternative to consider is using a database publishing tool like Datazone's Miramo to convert the S1000D XML content to the unstructured FM files. It requires a bit of XSLT to map the...

Thanks for the information! Our current client would prefer to not have to buy or implement any new tools, but I'll keep it in mind for our own future needs.

Hi Lisbeth, I am doing this with a couple of files and as I am pragmatic about these things I use the EDD to assign a particular paragraph format to the data I wanted to remove. That paragraph format...
View ArticleRe: Setting a condition tag on an element
Yeah, that would be the easiest thing, if it weren't for the fact that the next element (the title) needs to start on the top of the page. Having the tiny white text on the first page pushes the title...
View ArticleRe: Setting a condition tag on an element
No problem. In the same EDD you can assign a special paragraph format to a title that follows a hidden element, making it stay on the same page instead of moving to the top of the new page.
