FAQ Suggestions and Corrections

Hi Biju:

I'm not sure this question belongs in the FAQ . . . try reposting your question here: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@@.ee6b312.

You might also want to pick up a copy of FrameMaker Classroom in a Book and run through the exercises. It will help you get up and running quite quickly.

Cheers,

Sean

Hi there..
Any help on the topic mentioned below will be appreciated by two novices in Framemaker....

We r preparing a usermanual for an airline product. We have mostly inserted tables and pictures from MS Powerpoint (do forgive, because we r new to Adobe products..still learning).
But now one obvious difficulty is that when we bring some text down by hitting the ENTER key, the pics/graphic objects do not move. Any suggestions?

Also we'd like to insert one full page between two pages. How do we do this? We weren't able to find any options which'd enable us to insert one whole page ....

Thanx in advance

Ciao Johannes.

syllabificaton,spell-checking, language support for FramMaker+SGML

Hi everybody,

we would like to publish on paper documents in many different languages, west & east european languages (in total about 30 languages), and do it nicely (block alignment).

Is it possible to get a correct syllabification for any given language ? How can exceptional words be handled, e.g. by a special dictionary ?

Can somebody help ? Thanks, Johannes

Nancy, this thread is for suggestions for the FAQ. Do you have a suggestion for the FAQ list?

Consider reading the text in red at the top of this thread and then taking your question out of the 'FAQ Suggestions and Corrections' thread and Adding a new topic in the FrameMaker forum.

I am using Frame 5.5 and having a difficult time finding the best/easiest way to use graphics generated in AutoCad 2000i to paste into my document. The autocad group has been saving as .dwg files and then .doc files. When I try to paste these into my Frame document, what usually would paste in as an anchored frame, pastes in with an invisible frame. If there is another graphic on the page (generated in Autocad 13) the new graphic somehow seems to hide or cover part of it. I would appreciate any thoughts on this. I was thinking that Frame 5.5 doesn't like Autocad 2000i but don't know what step is next. I read the suggested graphic conversion pkgs in the Framemaker FAQ messages but not sure what would be most appropriate. What graphic file format does Framemaker like best?

Thanks Thomas:

I have corresponded with Dov about that . . . and the jury is still out. I disagree, slightly, with Dov.

Dov's workflow certainly seems very appropriate if your deliverable requires accurate color, CMYK output, and output via a service bureau or using a PostScript, offset press process.

I'm not so sure that Dov's methods are necessary for the rest of us, those for whom color accuracy, offset press, etc., is not important. Certainly, you can use a screen capture program to resample an image's resolution and, thereby, change its size, or use screen capture software in Windows, in place of Alt+Print Screen to streamline any workflow that includes captures.

Thanks for the good thoughts and I posted Dov's comments and suggestions as they appeared in these forums.

Cheers,

Sean

I haven't read the details on the screen capture FAQ, but
you should consider what Dov Isaacs recently has posted
on the FrameUsers mailing list. His advice in many ways
contradict what people usually think and do with screen
captures. For instance, image resizing should never be
done in the screen capture program, and EPS is the "best"
format (according to Dov).

Okay:

The screen captures thread is up and running: Sean "Screen Captures Exposed" 5/9/01 11:29am.

Bear in mind, this was a solo effort, your opinions might differ . . . but the content should be accurate. Post corrections or suggestions here.

Sean

Thanks.

It is made all the easier by forum denziens who stay mostly on-topic and who can be categorized as a decidedly "ruly" lot.

I am still, slooowwwwwwllllllyyyy working on reducing my 40-page graphics capture paper to something that I can post here.

Cheers,

Sean
