FrameMaker

In the Style Mapping tab, it seems there is no way to override the Frame Above Pgf or Below Pgf from the Framemaker paragraph format. Is there a way to remove it when generating help files? I can find almost every other attribute to modify, but not those.The issue I'm having is that some heading and note styles use lines above and below paragraphs which are created from objects in the reference pages. I want to exclude those lines from the help output. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I'd prefer to not remove the lines from Framemaker before generating.Thanks,Darren

I am working in FM 2015, and I was under the impression that the mobile app output would look essentially the same as the HTML5 output in terms of how the text is presented. However, I just discovered that a paratag using checkboxes appears correctly in HTML5, but appears as o's (i.e. incorrectly) in mobile app. I thought my style settings applied to all outputs across the board, so I'm not understanding why it appears one way in one output and another way in a different output. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I used the Cover Page from the FrameMaker template, made the changes I needed to make and simply renamed the file to Cover.fm. So, here is the problem...I linking the same book file to RoboHelp (for single sourcing) to create a WebHelp. In the Topic List Pod in RH, the title of my cover page says, "Personal Spaceship Operations Manual" and the file Name says Cover.htm. I looked at the reference pages, and Master pages of in FM to find the original title and I don't see it anywhere. Since it is a linked project, I an unable to change the Title of the topic in RH. Am I missing something? Has anybody used the Cover page from the FrameMaker template where the title did not change? Thanks,Farnaz

Been looking around and 2015 keep coming up.Thanks,ls

When I import a Word file into Framemaker, the Word styles now appear to be automatically added to my paragraph styles list. Is there a way to override this behavior? Otherwise I end up with a bunch of unwanted Word styles cluttering up my Paragraph Catalog. Thanks and regards.JMW

Hello,I have received structured FM file from a client and I would like to convert this file to DITA.I have tried to achieve this several times by restarting from the beginning and by reading all the doc I could find, but I cannot manage to get my XML file.Below are the steps I followed:Open the file (2 Safety.fm).Create a new structured application (named "TEST") with no DTD, no read/write rules, etc, only template.Define structured application (TEST) for the document 2 Safety.fm.Export elements catalog as EDD.Save this EDD as a DTD.Corrected errors after doing this like missing parentheses or asterisks. DTD is correct according to Validome  (DTD and Schema Validator - Check for XML grammar).Save 2 Safety.fm as XML.Added line <!DOCTYPE chapter SYSTEM ".... DTD\test2.dtd"> in the XML file to declare the external DTD obtained at step 5.Tried importing XML file into FM but there's many elements appearing in red in the structure view, there's no formatting, and errors appear in

Is it possible to somehow create a custom topic in HTML5 that does not appear as text within the document? I am essentially trying to accomplish customized nesting within the HTML5 TOC, but I'm not sure if that is possible. For example, I would like all of the chapters in my book to be collapsed under a main "Chapters" TOC heading. The only way I can see how to do this is by physically inserting the word "Chapters" within the  book and having the generated FM TOC pull in the assigned para tag. Is there an easier way to manipulate the HTML5 output TOC? I'm using a trial version of FM 2015.Thanks!Sarah

Is there anyone that knows how to make this work?

I am using FM11 and needed to add a fourth and fifth level to my procedure steps. I must have made a mistake in my autonumber format because when I have level 5 steps between level 4 steps, my level 4 restarts the numbering.My first TBD is where the para numbering restarted. The last line shows where the para numbering restarted again. Both times a level 5 procedure followed the level 4 procedure paragraph format.I have a Procedure_Begin para tag for the first in a series. Then I set the Next Pgf Tag to the para tag that is supposed to continue numbering.This is my autonumber format used.This shows the level 4 procedures basic setup.I thought the <a+> would continue my numbering.

I have problems when printing to HP printers for numbered, lettered, or bulleted paragraph types with a \t code.  I often get gaps in the text in the wrong places - best illustrated by examplea.  NanoPure (this one is ok - so it doesn't always happen)b.MasterF   lex multichanneld.Mi  dwest dental handpieces...g.Biosaf  ety Level IThe tab should be after the period in the letter or number.  This all have the same code - L:<a+>.\t and show up fine on the screen and show up fine in pdfs.  So it appears that there's an issue in the FM12 - HP printer protocols.  The print driver is new but it's happened over several HP printers and FM versions.Help!!David Stevens

FrameMaker 12 on Windows 7 platform (new FrameMaker 12 user but have been using FrameMaker since 1996): I have a large manual comprised of multiple files. When I save the book as a pdf file, I get  "FM ran out of memory" response, and then "Adobe FrameMaker 12 has stopped working" message. It creates a pdf file but won't let  make alterations to the pdf file and then save it using the same name.

Looking to be able to hyperlink from something in Chapter 1 that is referencing another chapter.  I can do it within a single chapter, but not outside.  HELP!  Note that I have FrameMaker 10.Thank you

I thought I'd seen something about this not so long ago, but haven't had any luck trying to turn up the previous post.Simple enough question: the heading PKCA–ALX–PROD shows up as PKCA–ALX–PROD in the ToC, but if I try to use a cross-reference to it the result is simplified to PKCA–ALX–PRODIs there a workaround? unfortunately, the subscripting is significant.

Why is there no possibility of checking the spelling of the Ukrainian language.Ukrainian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi All,I have created Master Pages as shown in the image below; normal Master Page usage is Right/Left.But for current Document, all master pages should be Wide Right & Wide Left.Is there a way to setup Master Pages, so it starts at Wide Right and then goes to Wide Left and then repeats this process?Or do I have to manually, set each right page to Wide Right and each left page to Wide Left?Thanks.

I have an unstructured Framemaker file in which I've created a number of MathML equations using MathFlow (as opposed to Framemaker's built-in equation builder). When I Publish this file as an ePub, however, Framemaker renders the equations as jpegs instead of XML. Is my understanding of how this is supposed to work correct? That the MathFlow equations should appear as XML markup in the XHTML file within the ePUB file? If so, why doesn't it?Thanks and regards.

Has anyone tried this combination?

When I generate LOF or LOT files, they are picking up an extra space between the autonumber entry "Figure 1-1" and the typed period following, like this: "Figure 1-1 ."  Here is an actual entry:Figure 1-1 . Model 3800 Tachometer Test Set with AccessoriesThe actual figure captions have only the word "Figure" and the sequence number, as in "F:Figure <$chapnum>-<n+>".  There is no space added there.  And I manually insert a period, then a space, after the autonumbered entry when I type the figure title.Where is the extra space coming from?

All,We are importing png's into Frame and using the Imported Graphic Scaling to set the DPI to a custom 120. The problem is every time we import we have to remember to click the radio button in front of Custom dpi or it defaults to 72 dpi. Is there any way to make Frame keep the radio button for custom selected?Doesn't seem like a big deal to select the radio button every time but when you are importing 138 items for one set of materials you want to save any clicks you can.Jen

I have a manual with custom markers labeled "14CFR" so that I can put regulatory references from each page into an index based on that reference. The Index I've created lists the 14CFR reference (i.e. 121.135) and the associated page number(s) that it's found on.The problem I'm having is that some regulatory references are numbers less than 3 digits on either side of the decimal. For example, I might have 121.15, 121.17, 121.11, 91.13, etc. When these are listed in the generated index, they come out in the order as if they were numbers... so:121.11121.113121.116121.2121.25121.277121.278121.3121.311121.312etc..What I want is that 121.3 is not 121.300 (which it would be as a number), but that it's actually a 3 and it would come way before a 113. Without adding unnecessary zeros (i.e. 121.003), is there any way I can get these in the order I need them?Also, how do I change the header? It keeps filing the numbers under "Numerics" but I want to permanently change that to something else.Than

Hello everybodySince FM 2015 the text-variables have a space before and after it (on normal latin text). This happens to me if I use LTUnivers (Type1) fonts, but other fonts work well. A bug?A possible solution is to turn on the Asian Composer in Paragraphsettings. Is it possible to turn on Asian Composer by default on every text?thank youKind regardsAlbrik
