FrameMaker

FrameMaker v17. I can't seem to get the Runaround properties that I need to stop a gap on the left side of the page. 

I discovered that the text on the third page of my document is overset (extending beyond/behind my footer). I searched online and found and tried a number of suggested fixes (such as verifying that the text frame is the correct size, and the master page has Autoconnect set in the Text Frame), but the issue persists. I'm obviously missing something. I could start from scratch, but would prefer to understand the cause so that I can better avoid it next time.I would attach the file, but each time I try to attach it I get a message saying the portal doesn’t accept that file type (even though it is .fm). 

Working on a project in unstructured Framemaker. The client has a TOC in each chapter that lists each paragraph, but then below that TOC is basically another TOC listing each table.  It's been done this way for years and the guy who set it up this way passed a while ago, unfortunately. The problem being, however they were set up gives "Unresolved Text Inset" errors everytime you open the book.  There are nearly 100 chapters in the book and the Unresolved Text Inset generates pages of errors everytime you try to update the book. The easiest thing to do is replace all the TOCs with MTOCs, but the manual owner says the separation of paragraph and tables needs to stay.  As far as I know, there is no way to sort/group a TOC by tag. The other issue is that even if I can sort the MTOC, can you put a header above each group that says "Paragraphs" and "Tables"?  If there is another way to do this easily, I'm all ears as well. TIA.

I am editing som FM documents that were created in - I believe - FM 4 or 5. There is a lot of equations and they look allright. But not ALL of them. Some look like this: It looks like there is a missing font with the "?Plus Symbol?"... I don't have a lot of experience using the equation editor but the font palette does not show any missing fonts. What might be the issue here?  

Hi,At the right of my FrameMaker window I have about 20 panels, separated by a few separator lines. I want to insert a new separator line in this panel area. Does anyone how to to do this?When I right-click somewhere in this area, there is nothing.I could edit the workspace file (rather experimental), but I would prefer to do this in the FrameMaker window.c:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\17\WorkSpaces\Structured\WYSIWYGView\xxx.fwsThere I have a *.fws and a *.cfws file, but I do not know the difference.Best regards, Winfried

Auf einmal fehlen in einem Buch in Framemaker 2022 Schriften. Eine neu Installation der Schrift hat nichts gebracht. Wenn ich diese Schrift ersetze wird wieterhin auf fehlende Schriften hingewiesen. Was kann ich tun?

@frameexpert - I'm not sure if it was supplied by you or someone else, but I have a script that deletes empty paragraphs at the end of a document, but it deletes the paragraph if it doesn't contain text (i.e. it will delete paragraphs with an anchor for an anchored frame or with a table anchor also.) I need to revise the script to ONLY delete empty paragraphs.As a workaround, I've told our writers to add a couple of spaces before or after the marker, which solves the problem, but it's not a permanent solution.This is the script:var doc = app.ActiveDoc; DeleteBlankParagraphs(doc); function DeleteBlankParagraphs(doc) { var pgf; // Get the last paragraph in the main flow. pgf = GetLastParagraph(doc); // Loop backwards through the empty paragraphs. while (pgf.ObjectValid () === 1) { // If the paragraph is empty, delete it. if (getPgfText (pgf) === "") { pgf.Delete (); } else { // Otherwise, exit the

Is there a way to change the default typeface and size?

I am setting a workflow for a client, which will allow them to import a word file, map the Word styles to preexisting FrameMaker styles and have the document formatting upon import. This works fine, but I would really, really like to avoid having FrameMaker import all the Word styles also.    It seems like it can not be avoided per standard FrameMaker operation, but can I possibly script mye way out of this? Is it possible to run a script that deletes all styles beyond those that are supposed to be there?

I think I know the answer to my question (you can't), but am going to post it anyway. Is there a way to add a callout line (dark color) with a shadow (light color) without having to draw two lines of different shades and offset them? If you have one, two, or a few callouts on an illustration it may not seem like a big issue. However, if you have ten or more callouts, making two lines for each callout, offsetting them, and bringing one to the front, grouping and moving them as needed, it now becomes a nuisance.  It would be so nice to be able to simply draw a single line with a shadow, in one stroke.

Hello! I am using unstructured FrameMaker 2019 (version 15.0.5.838).  My frameMaker documents contain several reference pages with many reference frames, collected over the several years. I want to clean up the reference pages and remove unused reference frames. But how can I find out if a particular reference frame is used in a paragraph style?Is there a paragraph format search (comparable to the search for character formats) where I can search for "frame above" or "frame below"? Bye... 🙂  

When I export my manual from FrameMaker to Acrobat the chapter numbers are not in the bookmarks in Acrobat. How do I get the chapter numbers to show in chapter names in the bookmarks? 

Hello. I am having strange issues with paragraph autonumbering in a couple of Korean-language documents:Here is the numbering format: H:<$chapnum>.<n+>\t< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< >< >This will number in the following sequence: 1.1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 through 1.9, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 through 1.49.The sequence starts properly at 1.1, but then repeats 1.1 before going onto 1.2. Then after 1.9, it jumps back to 1.1. After that, however, the number sequence is normal.I have tried using different series IDs (N: instead of H:) to no avail. Any clues, anyone? I am befuddled, to say the least. Thanks in advance,Bill

Hello community,I have a Framemaker 2019 purchase license and also a Technical Communication Suite subscription since December. I need both for my work. Last year, the parallel use worked without any problems, but since this year I can no longer start Framemaker 2019 because it can no longer be activated.

I have a project with a mathbook for a customer right now which has investigate equations in FM. I was not aware that MathML had ceased to be maintained and it seems FM's own builtin editor is not entirely up to date either. Are there any alternatives? What do other people do?
