FrameMaker

How can I keep page numbers from breaking across lines?  For example, 1- on one line and 23 on the next?  There is no space between the characters (1-23), so no way to add a non-breaking space.

Hi.I am new to using FrameMaker; I am looking for some help to understand the tool and to start to use it (in its unstructured mode).Are there any recommended FrameMaker basic primers available for a new starter such as myself?

Hello,I was trying to find if there is a way to display in structured framemaker/exported pdf a custom text instead of the content inside an element or a group of elements.For example, lets say I have defined  the following elements (which correspond to the following xml tags):<material>     <material_code>F14</material_code>     <material_name>Methanol</material_name>     <supplier_cage_code>08FU8</supplier_cage_code>     <supplier_name>Hawker Beechcraft</supplier_name></material>By default this displays as: F14Methanol08FU8Hawker BeechcraftI would like to know if there is a way to define that instead of the whole content inside the <material></material> element Framemaker would display a custom message, like: Methanol (F14)I have been searching for hours, but I don't know what to search exactly. Can anyone point me in the right d

Dear all,For real debugging the breakpont mechanism is not helpfull in many cases:Breakpoints work as intended for scripts which run in the ESTKAs soon as FrameMaker is involved, things become more complicated:As long as I can invoke functions from within ESTK it works as without FMAs soon as a function is called via menu, the  breakpoints do not halt execution.Therefore I have used a mechanism logging each entrance into a function (and the leave) and Alert/Console statements in the code.Stopping at a breakpoint and tip toeing through the following code would of course be a more elegant method, especially with the Data Browser open.It's my impression that the ES engine in FM does not know about the breakpoints set in ESTK.Are my expectations to breakpoints wrong or is it just this way?

Framemaker 10 won't open. Says "License expired."

I just moved to Windows 10 running on a high DPI screen. My Tech Comm Suite 5.1 apps have microscopic user interfaces on this setup, whereas my older Adobe apps are just fine.Any ideas? Upgrading to newer versions of the software is not an option for now.

In FM, how do you configure Figure and Table captions to have consecutive numbering from file (chapter) to file? We are not using a chapnum, just continuous numbering like pages.

Hi all, is there a way to place pdf documents into a framemaker book so that it will save with the rest of the book files into a single pdf document?  And if so, can the pdf documents be included in the book table of contents and with hyperlinks?thanks in advance,Jim

Hello all,I'm trying to add some alternate text to an image I have in a graphic frame, but when I select the frame or the image I do not get the option to select 'Object Attributes' from the 'Object Properties' window. Is there some setting I need to check or am I doing something else wrong?

Hi all,Is there an easy way to copy table content from a PDF into a structured FM10 table?I've tried copying from Excel, word tables, but neither way works. Just puts everything into one cell 😞Also, does anyone know how to stop FM from auto scrolling to the end of a document? If I start scrolling down a page, FM just keeps going!Thanks so much!🙂 joan

The shortcut "Ctrl Alt c" for making selected text initial caps unfortunately opens another program on my computer instead. It's a company computer so I can't just uninstall the other program. I wanted to find out if it Is possible to change a keyboard shortcut in Framemaker before I contact IT to see if I can have the offending program (which I don't think I need) removed.

I created a ditamap.When I open an xml file which contains an xref, the console displays this message: DITA+FM ERROR: Specified FileOpenClient not installed.: XXXX.xml - Unable to resolve xref. But the reference still works if I press ctrl + alt and click.I'm just curious about what it exactly means as I found nothing useful about that from the Internet.Does anyone know?

I am using Unstructured Frame 10.0.2.419 (as part of TCS 3) on Windows XP. I have been using this system on this computer for 9 months now and have never experienced this issue until today. I've been using Frame on and off since 2000 (since  v. 5.5.6) and have never seen this before anywhere. I'm hoping someone here has seen this behavior before and might have a solution. Really, I'm hoping that I accidentally entered some kind of keystroke combination in Frame that enabled some phantom settings that I can easily disable by entering another magical set of keystrokes or clicking a checkbox somewhere. Or something.This morning when I opened up my recent Frame books that I was working on Friday, I began editing them and soon noticed that the lowercase letter "u" would not appear when I typed it. I began the troubleshooting process: Replaced keyboard, thinking it was something to do with the physical key. Nope.Tried typing in other applications - every key types perfectly in all other

Hi All,I am using FrameMaker 10 Structured and am trying to underline some of the text.I tried it a number of ways and it shows but does not save. Using Character Designer did not work.Thanks for any help,Myko

I want to create inline hypertext links to destinations in a FrameMaker file. In other words, I want to be able to create a "bookmark" at the target location, and then format a piece of running text as a blue, underlined link that goes to that target location. The target could be in the same file, or another file in the same book. My impression is that I should use some combination of "Specify Named Destination" and "Jump to Named Destination" but I'm not seeing this work, nor can I figure out how to achieve the desired formatting. THANKS !!!

I am running FrameMaker 2015 (13.0.2.433) under Windows 10 32-bit (up to date) under Parallels 11.1.3. For some files, the File-Save As menu is disabled. It works for some files not others. Whether the file is stored locally or on a network volume appears to make no difference. Suggestions?

I have a paragraph tag called Note_Editor. It is for communicating questions to the SMEs. When I PDF these documents, I would like to be able to Hide/Show this tag as needed. Can I assign a Conditional Text to a Paragraph Tag?

I purchased a subscription to Adobe Technical Communications Suite. One of my decision points was several of the new features included with Adobe Presenter 11. TCS comes with Presenter 10. Technical support tells me that they have had many expressions of concern that the suite is shipping with an outdated version of Adobe presenter. The Presenter team has not informed the support team as to when or even if Presenter 11 will be included in the TCS download. Presenter 11's new features are critical enough to me that the functionality I thought I would be getting with TCS is seriously degraded. This is a business effectiveness issue at my end.Adobe's TCS web page does say that it includes Presenter 10, but when you click though for more information, you are taken to the Presenter 11 page.I see that I can subscribe to Presenter 11 separately. That pretty much defeats the purpose of purchasing a subscription to the suite, and I should not have to even be considering whether I should purchas

HiI use the character style zzBoldNumber in my Numbered 1 paragraph style to make the numbers bold. I was outputting HTML5 from FM12 and it worked fine. Here's the HTML output:<p class="FM_Numbered_1"><span class="FM_zzBoldNumber">1.</span>Select a location for your PLAY:1. </p>I upgraded to FM 2015 and now the numbers are not formatted correctly. They are the wrong font family and they are not bold. Here's the HTML output:<p dir="ltr" class="FM_Numbered_1">Select a location for your PLAY:1. </p>Notice that the <span> tag is missing.I have tried mapping the zzBoldNumber style to a variety of styles, but the result is the same.Seems like a bug to me.Any ideas or suggestions?

Test, test, test...In my script at the place where I find a string and replace it by a paragraph contens, it turns out that the very first operation is not performed.I inserted an alert to find out whether the item can really be found - and voilà the function is OK.Then I replace the alert by a Console command - and it still works.Removing this line resuls in loosing the first find/replace.What's going on here?The following is just part of the function: ...   findParams = GetFindParams (findString);        // Get the find parameters for finding string, case sensitive//FA_errno = Constants.FE_Success;                // errno global, to be used to track the progress of the find and replace  tr = targetDoc.Find(tr.beg, findParams);        // and do an initial find to get started.// find and replace loop as long as we keep findingConsole

Good morning to everybody,we are facing an issue using the table in FRAMEMAKER 10.We have a table, composed by 4 columns for the whole widht of the page. The rows number is not established because the first one of them is filled by getting there information from the DB.To be honest all of them are filled by information retrieved from the DB, but with the first one we face the issue.The information of the first column is composed by 188 rows ( this number is true for one case, the others have different rows) and when the page finish (bottom of page) the table is not able to break ( more or less at 91th row) and start againg in the next page.Right now it continues to insert the rows in the un-break table and as you could imagine these rows disappear from the screen continuining somewhere we are not able to see.It seems to extend ( in invisible way) the length of the page.I hope the system allows me to configure how I can stop the insert phase at the end of the page and start again in the

The Object Properties dialog box has changed considerably in FrameMaker 2015. It looks like you have to specify side heads through the Object Style Designer and then assign that style to the text frame.  Is that true?So I defined the side heads using Graphics > Object Style Designer. In the Object Properties dialog box, I selected my side head style and clicked Save. The side heads weren't added. Nothing changed on the page.Does anyone know how to add side heads in FrameMaker 2015?

Hello.We have a set of documents in FM7 version. Here we use elements that have prefix defined in EDD. So we achieve to automatically create text using these elements.But this prefix contains Slovak diacritics. Now the problem is when we upgrade this document to FM10.When we open it, the text looks OK. But when we insert this element to upgraded FM10 document, the diacritics is broken. (or we change this element to the same element)It looks like the internal EDD is still holding non-Unicode texts.When we open the FM7 EDD and upgrade it to FM10 document, then prefixes in EDD are OK and when this EDD is again imported to document, the texts from EDD works ok.Is there any other way to fix this without reimporting new EDD to all documents?

Dear FM users good morning,We are not able to understand the error " Internal Error 10024,6780225,6753823,6770958. Framemaker has detected a serious problem and must quit".We are using FM 10.0.2.419 on windows 7 and this error happens often. We searched on the web but the three numbers(series) after the error code 10024 are not listed on it.We found many other 10024's errors but not the one listed above having the numbers following the 10024. From what we understood the 10024 is a family error and the depiction of the issue depends on the numbers( child codes) following the main one.Is there anyone who faced our problem and solved it?If not do you have any hint for solving it?Thank you in advance.Luca
