FrameMaker

Hey gang,I've got some long equations that need to be broken up due to frame size. The "Insert Manual Line Break" command (Equations > Positioning > Line Breaking > Set Manual) doesn't insert a line break at all. The keyboard shortcut (!mbs) doesn't work either. Wat do?Any ideas?-terry-

Is there a way for me to, preferably programmatically (via script, or looking at MIF versions) determine what Framemaker templates use a specific font?  For instance, given a directory full of templates, is there a way to query them as a group to determine which reports use, say, Futura Book?  I could do it template by template if necessary.  Non-programmatic responses welcome too :-).Thanks in advance.

I am trying to generate a new book and create some new chapters in it, add old chapters to it, change component types, etc. Is there a method to create a new chapter in a book and can we use the same method to add old chapters to a new book? I tried creating a new object of the BookComponent class and manipulating its properties but it does not have a constructor.

Hello all,I am working with VMware App Volumes and appstacks. I have Adobe Tech Comm Suite 5.0 and 2017. When creating an appstack I license the software by signing into my adobe account and inputting the serial number.When I assign the appstack to a user, they are prompted to sign into an adobe account and input the license every time. Every time the user logs out of the machine and back in, they are assigned a different machine, so they have to put in the username and serial number every time.Is there a way to create an installer / get around the username and license every time?Thank you

Hi,I would like to make some sections of the manual text left, images right. I cannot get the figure reference to not span the whole page. I tried adjusting indents and other spacing but cannot get anything to work. Is this possible? I tried a text box but the figure references will not update. They both stay "Figure 1".Thanks,Justin

I have a table within a document that flows onto more than one (1) page. Is there a way to select the first couple of rows and columns and have them repeat on each page so the reader can identify the columns no matter which page they're on?  I've attached a screen capture image to illustrate my question.

Hi at all,just a simple question.When I scroll down in a document, the scroll speed is increasing really much.

Hello,The responsive HTML output from structured framemaker files are not getting loaded in web browsers (Chrome and Mozilla) but the unstructured output is loading. Please help whats wrong in this??

I have just filed bug FRMAKER-3398 titled "Wrong font when an inline element occurs in a paragraph whose default font is determined by a first-paragraph rule". If you want to see the sample files, you can download them from the bug report.The two provided files are a structured document and its EDD. The EDD is provided for information only, although you can import element definitions from the EDD into the sample document to confirm the claims made below. These files were created in FM12, but they illustrate a problem that still occurs in FM2017. The problem is that an inline element uses the wrong font when:1) The format rules for the inline element do not change the font, so that the inline element should use the default paragraph font.2) The containing paragraph's font is set by a first paragraph rule.In this situation the inline element's font is incorrectly determined by the font that would be used without the first paragraph rule instead of the font specified by the first paragrap

Is there a way to display the PageNumString (Page Number) of parent Anchor Frame of a Graphic?

I've been creating new templates in FM 11.0.1.382, and am getting a lot of crashes when editing master pages. Like after every few edits, FM crashes either when I make an edit or save the file. Usually, it's the "FrameMaker 11 has stopped working" crash. Browsing the web I see that others are having this trouble too, and some have sent Adobe information about their crashes.Just wondering if there's any way to fix this at my end. I'm on Windows 7.Thanks,Tami

We use Patternstream to generate database sourced documents via Framemaker.  When we moved our Framemaker setup from Windows XP to Windows Server 2008 (along with upgrading from Frame 7 to Frame 12, and from Patternstream 2.3 to 3.0) a strange thing started happening.  Where our templates specified Futura Std Medium fonts, Futura Standard Book was somehow being used as a substitution.  This only happened with the output of the Patternstream automation, which doesn't (in our case) do any font manipulation.  I.e., once the document is produced via Patternstream it is easy to replace the errant Futura Book occurrences with Futura Std Medium manually in Frame, so it's not like the fonts are somehow unavailable  on the machine.  Any thoughts on where to begin?Thanks in advance!

I have a script which deletes graphics but leaves behind anchored frames. Is there any way I can find out which pages of my doc/book has empty anchored frames?
