FrameMaker

I would like to open the "Cross-References" Pod, however, the only Pod available for selection is the Find/Change Pod.

This is making me crazy, and I know one of you super-experienced users will know the answer to my question.My company just purchased the Helvetica Neue and Helvetica Neue LT Pro font families. InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator (on Windows) all show the complete list of fonts.In InDesign, for Font Family you choose Helvetica Neue LT Pro, and in Font Style, there is one called 75 Bold.So far so good.In FrameMaker (and Word, and other Windows programs), there is no Helvetica Neue LT Pro font with the number 75. There is Helvetica Neue LT Pro 55 Roman, and Helvetica Neue LT Pro 65 Med, but no 75 or 85 (both of which I need).Now - I know that the FM user manual says that if you select a font in Frame (maybe it's 55 Roman) and apply bold or italic, it will pick the correct system/physical font to display/print. The problem is - I don't have any idea what that mapping is. Is 65 Med with bold applied actually 75??? I have no idea. (I'm recreating an InDesign template in FrameMaker, and it h

Can someone tell me how Adobe Tech Comm Suite 4 compares with Arbortext?-especially with regard to DITAThanks!

Hi, all.My FM template for PDF output has a text column and side heads. My H1, H2, and H3 are right-aligned within the side head, so they look something like this:                      HERE IS    Here is the text in the text column. blah blah bTHE GLORIOUS SIDE    blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah                    HEADING    blah blah blah blahblah blah blah blahblah                                        blah blah blah blahblah blah blah blahblahblah               &n

Anyone else able to get anything to work at Adobe DITA World 2016? Clicking the links to watch now and I only get a blank white bar across the top of my screen with a blue X on the right side. Tried MS Edge, MS Internet Explorer, Fire Fox and Chrome. Nothing work and no help links anywhere.

I keep getting Book errors about unavailable fonts (Simplified Arabic Fixed and Simplified Arabic Fixed Obliqued) in generated files (TOC, IX) even though these character formats have never been used in any of my FM files, are not used in Master pages or Reference pages, not found when searched for, and are affected by the Remember missing font names preference turned on or turned off. I've tried importing formats one-by-one, skipping import for some options, importing and wiping manual overrides. Sometimes the limited import works and sometimes it doesn't. This is FM 12.0.4 on Windows 10. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround that's reliable?

I can't enter the Latin small n with long right hand leg (U+019E) ŋ in FM 9. The only response is a question mark. Help please? Thanks, Sandy

Using FrameMaker 11, when I create a .pdf file, the bookmarks are out of sequence.  Is there a way to confirm the sequence of bookmarks while still in FrameMaker, or is the only way to shuffle them around in Acrobat?

We produce large operation and maintenance manuals. We are reference based. We'd like to move to a CMS. What sessions during the DITA conference are for newbies and what sessions are advanced topics?

Dear all,For absolute addressing a table cell out of the current cell I need to know where I am.I have not found a proporty like CurrentRow or CellRowNum. CellRow is an object Row.// CellNumbering.jsx// have cursor in a table cell#target framemaker  oDoc  = app.ActiveDoc;  oTbl  = oDoc.SelectedTbl;  oPgf  = oDoc.TextSelection.beg.obj;    oCell = oPgf.InTextObj;   //jRow  = oCell.???;              // ???  jCol  = oCell.CellColNum;       // 0 ... n$.writeln (oTbl.TblNumCols);      // 4$.writeln (jCol);                 // 2Is it necessary to loop through all rows and cells to find the currentselection => current location found?

New to Framemaker and trying to teach myself.  Using FM10.I am working on designing my master pages.  I started with one of the sample templates and have figured out how to get images on there and alter some of the existing variables (e.g. font size for page numbers).  But I can't figure out how to adjust the "Chapter 1" variable.  I'd like to change it possibly to 'module' or just put a gigantic '1'.  I can't seem to select it, delete it or anything.  What am I missing?

I need equations to look crisp when I output to a Responsive HTML format. My equations look blurry from an initial import of a Word document. Then, I tried using MathFlow Structure Editor to paste in equations from a Word Document I created. How do I fix the resolution of my equations?

Hi,when I set a value for the outputclass attribute of topic elements, then FM does not preserve it when the topic is saved as an XML file. Do I need to adjust the r/w rule, what would need to be added?What I want to get is simply<topic id = "id123" outputclass = "abc">I have already tried adding lines such aselement "topic" {attribute "outputclass" is fm attribute "outputclass";}But evidently it is not that simple.Robert

I've been using a number of PNG files for some time with no issues and everything has been smooth. Now going back to these files, pages the previously opened very fast now take a very long time (a number of minutes, not seconds) to render the graphic. This also has slowed PDF creation of those pages to a crawl as well. I'm using Framemaker 10 on Windows 7. Has anyone else had this issue or discovered a fix to this problem?

I am working on a book and I need to be able to link to other pages and in some cases different sections of a document within the book. Every time I convert the book into HTML5 the formatting goes away and the links don't work. I have no idea how to fix this. Please help! Thanks!

Dear experts,My project steps further - but as soon as I have to deal with FM-objects I still struggle. The script should do this:In the document (http://www.daube.ch/zz_tests/Markers-and-variables.fm) there are markers of type #calc (which are all found and stored into an array.Some of them are immediately followed by a variable (called temporary variable, because the names are built by date/time).Before I insert the new variable, the old one should be found and removed.The problem is that I do not find the old variable and hence can not remove it, before the new one is inserted. The inserting is OK, but it occurs independently of existing variables.Line 49 always evaluates to false, even if there is a variable present.How can I find (at first hand) any variable (Later I will need to check whether it is really a temprary variable) ?#target framemaker// Required doc: Markers-and-variables.fm:  aVariables = ["#DOCname", "#TEST", "2016-09-27T10:28:46.060Z"];  goCurrentDoc =&nbs

Where does FM saves a temporary file?What does it mean by "an odd suffix"?

Hello all,Notice how the second line is justified all the way to the left.  Can I align this somehow so that is it justified with the previous line?Many thanksRegards,Ben

Hello all,I've recently stepped into a role where I will be doing the customer facing and technical documentation for our company.  I am by trade a Business Analyst and have up to this point always used Word and other MS Office tools to create documentation.  I have so far only had to modify existing FM documents and it has not bee too difficult.I would doubt there will be any training $ in the budget, so I am left to use resources such and this forum in order to learn.  This no doubt, will be challenging at times.Questions like:"Structured" vs. "unstructured"?Anything required when working on documents created using previous versions (I've v 12 and many if not all of our legacy documents were created in 9 or 10).More to come I'm sure.Many thanks in advance.

Hi Gang,I'm relatively new to the world of FrameMaker - so please forgive me if this is a silly question...  but I am trying to figure out a way to insert a table that has a mix of paragraph alignment within the rows and columns.The paragraph alignment for most of the tables in my document are simple and are handled by one of three attributes: alignTableHeader, alignTableBody and alignTableFooter. The user selects "center", "left" or "right" for each attribute and the EDD applies the proper paragraph format to the text.However, there is one table (our LEP) that has the paragraph alignments shown below:Header 1 - align leftHeader 2 - align centerHeader 3 - align centerCell content - align leftCell content - align rightCell content - align centerCell content - align leftCell content - align rightCell content - align centerThe attribute alignment variables don't work in this case because it applies a single alignment to each section (header, body and footer) - and in this case the he

I've got some kind of setting applied that is moving the start position way to the right?  How can I fix this as it is showing up on all of the 'right' master pages?

Hello all,I've done some research, but cannot find a solution that worksFM12 - some of the leaders in my TOC are gone from the previous version.The hunt continues...

We are having issues when exporting FM (2015) files to MIF in that when the MIF is viewed in Notepad the content is displayed out of order with how it appears in the FM file (i.e. text that appears towards the end of the document in the FM file appears at the beginning of the MIF). How does a MIF determine where within the file content is displayed (i.e. by style, time of insertion, etc)?

Hi,Can someone explain why this is happening - after I create a Note with numbers under a numbered step (see image below), the next numbered step follows the last number in the Note section. Instead of being Step number 2, its going to Step number 4, following the numbers in the Notes and not the Numbered1+.Help!
