FrameMaker

I am having chapter numbering issues.I am using FM 11. I have h1u set as A:Unit <$chapnum>. with Autonumber format checked. I have tried numbering each individual unit and selecting Update Book. However, the numbers are all reset to blanks. I have tried setting the numbering from the book and the same results. Blanks! How do I fix this?

In FM 11, I have a problem with table footnotes. The default custom settings for footnote markers are *, then dagger, then double dagger. For various reasons, I cannot use * in the journal I am editing, so I reset the footnotes so that * is not there and dagger is the first option. Many times, however, when I later reopen the file, FM has automatically reset the markers so that * reappears as the first marker. How do I prevent this?

Hello everyone,We are using FrameMaker 12 on a Windows 7 (64 bit) platform.I have found discussions on the Web about this, but so far nothing works for us. As you know, other word processing tools have a hollow bullet as a standard feature. After spending a couple of hours over the past few months researching forums, it appears there is no way to get a true hollow bullet in FrameMaker. Is that correct?This is what does *not* work for us:A Courier or Courier New lower case letter "o" (oh). If we could raise it up off the line, it would work. There appears to be no way to lift a character a few pixels off the line.The symbol you get by pressing Alt+9: ○. When this symbol appears in FrameMaker, it is also needs to be raised up off the line so it doesn't look like the letter "o."The circular symbol you get when you type a lower case "m" and change the font to Windings 1, because it has shading on the lower right, and also would need to be raised up off the line.We know how to make any Wind

I want to place a variable called "version" and a variable called "name" of a product on the  title page (first page in the book) . Then these varaibles should be placed in the footer of each chapter in the book. At this moment i will haven to change each footer per chapter. Is there a way to achieve this? Johan v.d.Mark

Just installed FrameMaker 9.  Can't Save as PDF.  Symptom is "Turn OFF Rely on system fonts only.  It is off but I still get this error.

Is anyone round-tripping FM11 to FM12 and then back to FM11?I use Acrolinx on FM11 and do not (yet) see a schedule for Acrolinx on FM12.I am trying to decide whether to stay on FM11, or go to FM12 and round-trip through FM11 for usage of Acrolinx.I am required to use Acrolinx, but I am not required to use FM12.

Hi.In a FrameMaker book, I have several chapters. When I publish to WebHelp, what I want to see is just each chapter turned in to its own topic. But FrameMaker does is put each topic in its dedicated book (see graphic below). What I'd like to see is one book (5.7 ReleaseNotes) and chapter-based topics beneath it. In short, I'd like to remove the intermediate book layer. If there's a way to configure this, please advise as to how to do it. It's not clear how to do this from the settings.Thanks!-Kurt

Yesterday, I downloaded FM v12 Trial, upgraded to full version with license/serial number, and used it with some existing .fm files for initial testing.Today, using same icon on Start Menu and/or Desktop, I only have XML Author.What happened to full install?

Is there a simple way in which I can apply the index marker to all the header paragraph tag in  a framemaker 11 book?

Good morning,    I am using FM's Publish command for the first time, producing HTML output. I have a paragraph format that I want to map to an HTML heading with a class attribute (for example, something like <h1 class="x">. For FM paragraphs that map to HTML <p> elements, I can specify a class attribute by selecting an output style in the Style Mappings section of the Publish settings. I can map a paragraph format to a heading element by typing the element name in the User Defined HTML Tag text box. But I'm not able to put the two together. Am I missing a way to do so? Thanks.   --Lynne

FrameMaker 7.0 - Is there any easy way disconnect multiple frames? I have MANY pages that I have changed the page size. If I try Format >. customize layout > either disconnect previous or disconnect both - neither work.

When I try to open FrameMaker 11 the process fails. The problem seems to do with the gomarkup.dll file. How do I solve his problem?

Using FM10. Have to create a PDF file only occasionally. Always used the plug-in that came with FrameMaker. We decided to download the trial version of Acrobat X. Used it for awhile but didn't see any great advantages to buying it. For the work we're doing, the Save as PDF feature in FrameMaker worked just fine. So I deleted Acrobat X. Now the distiller is gone as well. I can no longer Save as PDF in FrameMaker. When I try, I get the error message, "To execute 'Save as PDF' command, you must have Acrobat Distiller version 5.05 or higher installed."How do I get the distiller back? We purchased and downloaded FrameMaker on-line so I have no CD.

I'm trying to install Frame 9 on a new Win 7 machine.  I have it running on one Win 7 machine just fine.  That machine is being replaced with a new Win 7 machine (same SP level).  But, just as the Frame 9 installation almost gets finished, it fails with a pop-up box that says:Error  1935: An error occurred during the installation of assembly component{98CB24AD-52FB-DB5F-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}.HRESULT: 0x80070BC9.Any ideas what I need to fix to get Frame 9 to install?

version 7 - I have MANY pages that are booked. I just want to find a way to easily update the master pages all at once.

I want to add the trademark symbol (TM) in my document. I added it to the Reference page in the Character Macros table (like they said in the Adobe help file). But, what next? How do I insert it in the document? I don't see it listed in the Character Designer list.Judy

FrameMaker  12.0.3.424, Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.09.Using Save As PDF from FrameMaker to generate PDF from book file.  In the PDF Setup Dialog, using CMYK option generates a PDF but colors are muted.  Using RGB generates PDF with good colors, but one image appears as gray.  This image is a JPG, imported by reference and also used in other documents.  Image appears in PDF if CMYK is used.  Is this a bug or is there another setting that needs to be adjusted?  Thanks in advance....

Am seeing "Do not have write permission" msg when trying to close FrameMaker 12 file and file doesn't close. Any thoughts on how to solve this? Thanks.

Hi,I want to copy similar images from one FM book to another FM book. My creating this new FM book involves lot of image copying, and I do not wish to import files all over again. It is damn tedious. Is there a way out? Please help.

Hello everybody!I will use Adobe FrameMaker 12 in author mode in an upcomming project, and I will continue testing it for two more weeks. As I am new to XML and document creation, I finished an online tutorial about XML and started now to create a document. I entered all files in one directory, then tested & corrected the contents with oXygen XML Author 16. Now, I opened the same files under FrameMaker 12 and have a lot of errors. As XML is a standard, I think that my code is not the problem. Do you have an idea why one & the same documents are evaluated differently by the two tools?Thank you for your suggestions!Note: As ist is not possible to upload a ZIP file, I add two images to show the problem.[Moved from Scripting forum by moderator]

I reinstalled my design suite CS6 and everything worked fine but acrobat X pro hasnt been installed.Exit Code: 6 Please see specific errors and warnings below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DF023, DW063 ... WARNING: DF029 ...what can I do? Thank you for your answers

Is it possible to create a paragraph tag (Figure Title) that would automatically put an anchored frame above it that is 6.9 wide by 7.5 height?

Hi,Here's what I have: A book comprising seven files. But, the files aren't so much chapters as chunks of content.What I want to do: If content in a file ends on an odd page, start the next file on the next even page.What doesn't work: I can use chapter-level pagination to delete empty pages and set the starting side as next available. So, if file (chapter) 1 ends on page 7, then the beginning of the next file will indeed be page 8. BUT, the beginning of the next file uses a right-hand master page, so it uses a right page layout for a left page.Thoughts? Thanks.
