Getting started with framemaker

[RANDOLPH32537381t66q]

1. Graag hulp met het volgende:
2. Hoe verwijder ik het totaal aantal pagina's met inhoud in een sjabloonbestand van 26 pagina's? De inhoud kan ook worden verwijderd, zodat het een bestand blijft van maximaal 10 pagina's met stijlen, paragrafen enz.
3. Kan ik dan nergens in een instructie vinden hoe ik bijvoorbeeld 10 blanco pagina's (links en rechts) kan invoegen op basis van bijvoorbeeld het hierboven beschreven sjabloon?

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

Not exactly sure what you're asking - what version of FM are you using? Is it Structured or Unstructured?

[RANDOLPH32537381t66q]

am using frame maker 17.02.431 if you want to look at the templates find hereby the templates

[RANDOLPH32537381t66q]

I cannot insert FM files because the uploader removes the files

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

Maybe post some screenshots of what you have & would like to do - use the "Insert Photos" icon in the forum web interface.

Look at the screenshot

Your questions were:

1. How do I remove the total number of pages of content in a 26-page template file? The content can also be removed, leaving a file of up to 10 pages with styles, paragraphs, etc.
2. In that case, can I not find anywhere in an instruction how to insert, say, 10 blank pages (left and right) based on, say, the template described above?

IMHO you show body pages in the screen shot. Hence:

to remove an arbitrary number of successive pages: Put the cursor at the start of the text which you want to remove. Hold SHIFT while you click at the end position to select all what you want to remove. Use the Del key to remove.

Blank pages per so do not exist in FM. You may have several empty paragraphs with the property "start on top of page". This will look like the corresponding number of empty pages.

Dear K. Daibe,

Thank you so munch for the clear explanation of to remove the page. Please for give me because am a newbie in FM am more a advanced user in Indesign.  As you can see this is a template for us to build technical documents but becaus its contains so much extra pages therefor I want it to delete the unsed pages. Can I ask you also the next following issue: How can you add in a new or blank document; pages 1-3 of this template that contains text with proper formatting, for example? In fact, we create new technical document with some sections already defined in this template: for example: conditional, disclaimer etc. etc....

[K.Daube]

Randolph, since these texts might be used in various documents I suggest to do it this way:

- Create one or more short documents containing conditions, disclaimer, legal stuff etc.

- Import into the appropriate 'sub-document' into the main document where it shall appear. See compendium, page 359 ff about  Text insets.

Dear mr Daube,

Many thanks for you're answer.... I will read and test youre solutions tomorrow, will post you my progress....

[RANDOLPH32537381t66q]

Dear mr. Daube,

Can you assist me why I cannot make a responsive HTLM5 of the cover page? Am trying to put the originals page into this forum.

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

What method are you using to create the HTML5? What do your settings look like? Is the cover page part of a .book file?

[RANDOLPH32537381t66q]

Hey Jeff,

The cover is a seperate document wich contains information on the masterpage. This what the formatting information says on the reference pages if this is what you mean. Yes it wil be a part of a new book. Am formatting it by the publish tab

[RANDOLPH32537381t66q]

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

I'm pretty sure that XML Mapping Table you show has to do with the old way of creating HTML out of FM docs. The new way is to Publish - but I think you're doing Structured FM and I'm not certain if the same applies to it. Have you tried putting all the parts in a .book file and trying to Publish that to HTML5?

[RANDOLPH32537381t66q]

Hey Jef,

Do you mean save it as .book okay let me test it.

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

No, I mean create a new book and add your FM .docs to it.

[RANDOLPH32537381t66q]

HI Jef, I have tested but the cover does not appear in Responsive HTLM5 and there is something with the images as png wil not reformating correct? Why does it not appears correct.

[RANDOLPH32537381t66q]

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

How are the images added in the FM docs? By reference or by copying? Are they all in anchored frames? They must be in anchored frames for the journey to HTML5.

[RANDOLPH32537381t66q]

Am just able to place a screenshot.

[Matt-Tech Comm Tools]

You're title page needs to be part of the main text flow. If you choose Select All in your document, is the cover page content included in the selection?
