FrameMaker

This is probably a very stupid question... I am working with a document where I want to have a bunch of hotspots. I insert a circle and it works fine. Only I want the circle to be invisible. I do not want fill and do not want boundaries. While I can make the object transparant I can not make the boundaries disappear entirely. There does not seem to be a "No boundary" option. I guess it is doable but I just can't figure out how.Can anybody help?

Hello,Above is a screenshot of the TOC file in my book. The Head5 entries are in a different font, and the page numbers are not right-aligned with a lead.I was able to fix the font issue using Character Designer and then "Update All" in Paragraph Designer.In order to right-align the page numbers, I've tried clicking in one of the Head5 lines, clicking "Right Tab" on the Paragraph Formatting toolbar (3rd arrow below), and then clicking below the ruler across the top directly underneath the rightmost triangle (shown below). However, nothing changes when I take these steps. I was planning on making those changes and then choosing "Update All," but I'm not seeing anything change on the page. I then tried manually right-aligning the page numbers by typing ". . . . . ." all the way across the page in front of the numbers and then using "Update All," but the dots disappear and the numbers move back to the left after I update my book.I've also tried applying the same tab stop used for the othe

FM17: I cannot create a new table style from an existing table. I select an existing table and rename it in the Table Designer, click 'Create Style' and I get a warning 'Not all settings are specified. Fill in all the settings and try again'. Obviously all settings are filled in, as this table style already exists.Each time I move from one tab to another in the Table Designer, I'm asked whether I want to apply changes, even though nothing has changed in the table settings, this can go on indefinitely even if I apply changes every time.

When entering equation in a document you need to insert an equation number (similar to table number) that can be cross referenced to. How can it be done in the latest version.

Whilst testing FrameMaker 2019 trial I noticed the DMC doesn't display at the foot of a S1000D 941 illustrated parts-IPD. I have checked the example bicycle illustrated parts data in CSD (S1000DBIKE-AAA-D00-00-00-01AA-941A-D) That also appears to missing the DMC. All the other types of procedural, descriptive DM's appear to display the DMC. Just 941 IPD appears to have the problem.

New FM user here. Is there a way to make a single Paragraph tag change to Paragraph tag change in FM 2015? It looks like It should be an easy Find / Replace, except it looks like you have the option to Find a Paragraph tag, but not change to another Paragraph tag. Is there another way to just change a single P tag to another P tag? Thx.

FrameMaker version: 2017I recently had to switch to a new font that my organization provided. When I use the font in Word or Robohelp, I am able to change the font style to Bold or Italics. But, the same is not happening in FrameMaker. I checked the properties for the FM paragraph format for which I am using the font, and the Weight for the font does not list Bold nor does the Angle list Italic. It only lists Light.Any suggestions as to why this might be happening?

Hi,I have a FM book that has been updated to FM 2017 ( I assume the client created the files with FM 10 or even earlier). When updating all files within the book all cross references are ok (they are within a book file but also from one file to another). As soon as  I change to .mif and back to .fm, all cross links in some of the files are corrupted (and there are  thousands, it is a 200 page service manual). We need to use .mif for translation, but haven't even started yet as we have the problem already when changing from .fm to .mif back to .fm with the original files. Help!

My IT folks reinstalled FM, and now the Ctrl+ combos don't work. Is this a configuration problem? We've reinstalled before without issue.

Hi,   After my framemaker2017 crashed, such kind of characters "?cf"  showed when I typing simplified Chinese.   how to solve this problem?

I am using the DTLArgoT font (as required by my company's brand guidelines), but I cannot get it to italicize in the Frame 2015 document. Here is what my character designer looks like:As you can see, the Angle is Italic, but the text still looks normal in the document. I tried using Arial, and with that font the Italic angle works.  Is there a way to get this to apply to the DTLArgoT font?

Check this image out:See how the one character format has the lines extending to the edge of the page, but the one under does not?Where does one control this depth?  I cannot for the life of me figure out what governs this distance.

Hallo!Ich habe gerade Framemaker 2017 auf Windows 10 installiert. Bei der Installation wird auch der Distiller installiert. Wenn ich aber eine Datei oder ein Buch als PDF speichern möchte (Menü Datei -> Als PDF speichern) erscheint die Meldung "Zum Ausführen des Befehls 'Als PDF speichern' ist Acrobat Distiller 5.05 oder höher erforderlich".Im System konnte ich den Distiller nicht finden, also wurde er ohne Fehlermeldung nicht installiert!?!?Ich habe Framemaker bereits drüber installiert, neu installiert und auch eine weitere Installationsdatei verwendet. Es erscheint immer diese Meldung.Hat jemand eine Lösung?Gruß André
