Can I place an Anchored Frame "Above Current Line" so that my Figure Tag shows up with the Anchor below the Anchored Frame? The only option I have is to place the Anchored Frame "Below Current Line". I'm trying to get a Figure Tag with an Anchor tag below my Anchored Frame, but just don't know how to do that

I have a very large, very detailed table that has *many* footnotes.A reviewer noted that it's difficult to distinguish between 'i' and 'j' (footnotes use a small font size)... is there a way to skip a number? (e.g. go directly from 'h' to 'j')Thanks either way

FM 2015 on Win 7.I have a letter sized document with an 11 column table in it. It's in portrait format just like the page, and flows over 5 pages.It's very cramped though and I'd like to make the table to be in landscape format, and flow over several pages. I've been experimenting with Anchored Frames with rotated text boxes inside them, but they are only good for tables that fit on 1 page. I suppose I could chop the table up and insert Anchored Frames with rotated text boxes on several pages, but that would be a pain to maintain.Is this possible in FrameMaker 2015 to have Landscape tables in portrait pages that flows over pages?

Having other issues and suggestion was made to check for updates.Yep, update 5 is available.Tried to install -- got error U44M1P6.I'm assuming 13.0.0.333 (what I have currently) is the result of update 4, but am not sure.Only suggestion I've seen is to reinstall FrameMaker and install update(s) again.Is that the only solution, or have I missed something?Thanks.

Hello,I'm using FM12 with structured docs. I'm looking to convert some Framescript into Extendscript language.I finish my first Extendscript this morning (too me 3 days) : searching Element and saving the attributes value into a text file.But I'm stuck converting my second one.In a structured doc, i want to wrap a selected text with a element "PRESS" into a element "PARA" (the element PRESS is allowed in the element PARA by the DTD/EDD).My Framescript (FS 6.0)Set vCurrentDoc = ActiveDoc;Set vSelect = vCurrentDoc.TextSelection;// Get the Element DefGet Object NewVar(vEltDef) Type(ElementDef) Name('PRESS'); // Wrap the selected textWrap ElementDef(vEltDef);// Select the new PRESS elementSet vPRESS = ElementSelection.begin.child;// Create the attribsNew AttributeList NewVar(vPRESSatt) AttrName('SMALLCAPS') Value('1');// Assign the Attributes to the tagSet vPRESS.Attributes = vPRESSatt;In Extendscript, how do i write it?var vCurrentDoc = app.ActiveDoc;var vSelect = vCurrentDoc.TextSelectio

Hi,While attempting to do Find operations with ExtendScript, FM2015, I find that the documented constants for FS_FindCustomizationFlags do not resolve. From the doc:Constant.FS_FindCustomizationFlags (15) - An optional parameter of type FT_Integer that may be any of the following bit flags OR’ed together:• Constants.FF_FIND_CONSIDER_CASE (0x01)• Constants.FF_FIND_WHOLE_WORD (0x02)• Constants.FF_FIND_USE_WILDCARDS (0x04)• Constants.FF_FIND_BACKWARDS (0x08)For example, this just reports "undefined":   alert(Constants.FF_FIND_CONSIDER_CASE);    I worked around it by specifying the hex integer directly, but I'm wondering if I'm just missing something. And FWIW, I originally bumped into this looking for a way to search with regular expressions. I found this in the FDK fapidefs.h file, which fortunately allowed me to get it to work:#define FF_FIND_USE_REGEX   ((IntT)   0x10) Russ

Dear experts,From a palette i need to divert into a dialgoue and then come back into the palette.This works fine for the first time i enter the dialogue. The dialogue fails when entered the second time.A stripped down version of my scripts is following. The palette is to the left, the 'test' dialogue to the right:Usage is as follows:In the palette active the checkbox and clik the Handle Content button.This invokes the 'test' dialogue.According to the settings in the script the OK/Return button is hidden.Clicking the Cancel button closes this dialogue and we are back in the palette.Since the 'test' was cancelled, an alert appears with NO as default.Click NOThe check box is cleared for a new decisionNow the user 'changes the input (top field)', checks the box and clicks the Handle ... button.=> Error on line 48: undefined is not an object.What may be wrong here?// NestedDialogue.jsx#target framemaker// target needed for Alert ...var gsVariable;var wPalDS = new Window('palette',"FM-cal

Can Framemaker 2015 finally handle footnotes that are really long?  Can it split footnotes, can it be used for academic books?

In the Layout Customization window:I select "Sidebar (Desktop)" in the Layout Components, then change the Index tab image to a 31x23 pdf icon (this is the recommended size according to the field help). When I publish, this appears correctly.I select "Sidebar (Tablet)" in the Layout Components section. The field help for the Index tab image indicates max size 50px x 50 px, and smaller sizes will always fit.I have tried this with original icons downloaded from Adobe: 24x24, 32x32, and with the 'white space' around the 24x24 icon adjusted to 31x23 and 50x50.No matter what I choose, the image gets stretched horizontally.Question: Can somebody tell me what is causing this to happen / how to display the icon in its correct proportions? (Image below shows Tablet first (image stretched) followed by Desktop (image correct).Thanks!

I am outputting responsive HTML5 from FM 12 (soon to upgrade to FM 2015). I manually remove the Index and Glossary buttons from the output (this step will go away with FM 2015). I would like to replace the Index button image with a custom button image (of the PDF symbol) and make it so that when you click this PDF button, a PDF file opens (so the button has to redirect to the URL for the PDF). Can this be done?

In the Paragraph Designer (Default Font property group), in the Paragraph Tag field, I have a paragraph format, Heading3C.However, this Paragraph format does not show up in the Paragraph Catalog, even when the "Show All" option is selected.How can this be the case?  How can I have a "Heading3C" paragraph format tag without it showing up in the Paragraph Catalog?Note:  I do see a "Heading3" Paragraph tag in the Paragraph Catalog, but not the "Heading3C", if this is of any significance. I'm baffled.Any body know how this can be the case?Thanks.

how can I make the snap grid to be coarser or finer than the default?

I'm very new to XML publishing but my company is migrating from SGML to XML and is looking into a product called XPP from a company that used to be called Xywright. If anyone here has knowledge of XPP, can you please tell me if it can offer any features not available through FrameMaker? Thanks.

Our team has attempted to create a Relationship Table based on documents that are located on our SharePoint site. When we create the HRef using the SharePoint URL, it asks for credentials (username and password) and when we enter our Win based credentials it will not accept it. When we cancel, the URL appears in the Relationship Table, but when we close and reopen the file it disappears.

Hi,Is there a reasonable programmatic equivalent for the Change buttons in the Find dialog? FDK or ES? I have no urgency to find one, but I was going to use it if available. I'm looking for something simple and direct, no wild button-pushing-automation-routines or anything like that.I hope this isn't a dumb question. I'm amused that after all these years, it is the first time I've ever thought of a need for it.Russ

We reuse chunks of content and these chunks are each appearing at the top of a separate PDF page instead of following the chunk before it on the same page.

Hello.When I view a graphic in Illustrator, the blue colors are cool, shading to grey. When I import that exact .ai file into FrameMaker, they turn almost aquamarine, very light and bright. Why did this happen and how can I fix it?Thanks!

I'd like to implement my own FrameMaker theme for HTML5 output to allow customized things like e.g. off-canvas menus.Are there any great resources? I've spend a few days on a research but everything I found are page templates.

Hallo,I have a problem with tab stops. I can set a tab with the mouse in the ruler, but I can't set one in the tab format window (or rather Paragraph-formatting-window).

Existing tabs cannot be edited either.Its the German version of FrameMaker 9 under Windows.Any ideas?sierra lima

When I adjust a paragraph format in a File we'll call "Original," and then import that style into other files in my book, unrelated formats are losing their settings. For example, my simplest format (Body) just suddenly changed from 10 pt to 12 pt. Is anyone else having this issue??? I've probably lost a week of time re-doing formats. I am selecting the file to import from VERY carefully, and know the formats are correct there because when I pull that file back up all is well. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!So for example, my "Original" file still has Body as 10pt.Other types of formatting lost:- indented styles lose their indenting- bulleted styles lose their special bulletsThe names of the styles are still present and correct in all files, but the formatting itself is changing for reasons that I cannot identify.I have never had this issue with FM before - and it's killing me. Just applied the latest update and it is still happening.
