I am using FM 10 with Windows 7. I would like to maintain a catalog of images and text. Is there a third-party clipboard app that is compatible? Thanks, everyone.

We use track text edits in our documents (using FM 10). However, we have noticed that when looking for the edits (i.e. by clicking "show next"), it skips over some edited content. Does anyone know why or how to fix this? Thanks!

Hello,First post on the forums in a long time, and first here altogether. I hope it's okay to jump in.I have a bit of unstructured FM experience from several years ago and have been using Ventura since (13 years) for my company's books (longish directories--3,000+/volume). I've done some scripts in Ventura so have a little programming experience.We're looking to switch to XML rather than the tagged text files Ventura can import because of its lack of support, problems possibly due to Win7, and the effort needed to maintain the import files. I've downloaded the FM 11 trial and have been experimenting a little with roundtripping XML and also importing what we already have in XML. So a few I'm sure very basic questions; and thanks in advance:I've been going through the Adobe tutorials and whatever else I can find online. There don't seem to be any well-reviewed books on Amazon that deal with structured FM 9-11. Some that look promising for XML are about 10 years old--I don't think our nee

Does anyone know of any good structured frame resources?  We are currently using Frame 6 and are looking to upgrade to Frame 11. However, our EDD and DTD seem to be problematic to convert from version 6 to 11 and I am not sure where to start.  Thanks!

In FM 10, whenever I open a DITA topic, the Structure View and Element Catalog display options revert to defaults that look cluttered and annoying to me. The Structure View displays all the attributes, and the Element Catalog shows all the element descriptive tags. In the Structure View, I right-click, select Attribute Display Options, and set the display option to No Attributes. In the Element Catalog, I click the Options button and unset the option Show Element Descriptive Tags. Then both windows are simple and uncluttered. When I finish editing my DITA topic, save it, and close it and then open another DITA topic, the Structure View and Element Catalog revert to the cluttered view again. This gets annoying. I looked for preferences to making my preferred views permanent, but I could not find anything in the interface, in the DITA options, in the user manual, or in the maker.ini file. I tried saving the settings as part of my DITA workspace configuration, but the preferences weren't

When validating a document in FM9 i have some issues.If i add an element to the structure that is a text container i can validate the document and the document is showing as valid. This creates a problem as some the of the attributes associated with this document are required are unset and therefore should throw up a validation error. Has anyone came across this issue before?

We are using TCS 4.0 on a Windows 7 system. We create WebHelp and deliver it to clients on a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 platform.We have a client that is asking that we deliver our software and WebHelp on a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 platform.We typically deliver WebHelp centrally--hundreds of users will access the same set of WebHelp files from a centrally-located server.SQL Server 2008 or 2012 doesn't matter to WebHelp, correct?I looked for a platform compatibility discussion on Adobe.com and couldn't find one.  Sorry if I missed it.Thanks!Tim

How do I anchor a frame that can be moved to half in and half out of a text frame, yet move with the text if shifted. It also needs a fill an outline and another unconnected text frame in it. Corel Ventura had a wonderful way of dealing with adding graphic and frames. Why doesn't Adobe buy that defunct program and add those great features to FrameMaker?
