Hi Winfried,   At your suggestion I updated to 15.0.5.838. It took a lot of time to open the file but once it opened I tried to Accept All edits. It seemed like it was going to be successful but it crashed. When FrameMaker crashes, I do not get a message about dmp files nor do I see a dmp file in my working folder. How do I append files here?   I will add a bug report in the tracker but in the meantime can you tell me more about the MIF wash before I attempt it? What do you mean by "are all conditions shown?" How do I know that? What do you mean by "show all conditions when you accept your edits?" Where in the menu structure can I work with these conditions you reference?   Yesterday (before doing the update), I tried copying all of my text (redlines included) with the exception of the the last flow end symbol, and pasting it into a new Frame document. None of the redlines copied over though; it was as if they were all accepted. To this new document I added one line of tracked text and attempted an Accept All. It completed the task and indicated it had made 22 changes. That's about the number of changes the original document had! When I imported the master pages from the original document, my redlines in the Master Pages did show up. Now if I can figure out how to retain my redlines in the Body Pages that would be great! For my work projects, I need to make redlined PDFs and clean PDFs.   I really appreciate that you took the time to respond to my problem! I need to resolve this before my document becomes customer-facing. Right now I'm going through iterations of edits using Adobe shared reviews.   Thanks, Sedona ... View more

Hi Matt, Winfried Reng above entered a bug report in the tracker and cited the Steps to Reproduce (or recreate) the problem. Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to "vote" on it because I can't figure out how to login to the tracker. I can get to the tracker itself but the login button doesn't do anything (I have yet to try a different browser). Seems the bug tracker has a bug. One of our translation venders suggested a solution would be to downsave the file in Frame 12 and then save again in 17. This approach seems safer than messing with code. I have to find the time to play with this and the MIF; finding the time is the other problem!! Thanks for your reply, Sally/Sedona ... View more

Hi Again . . . My team of writers have been using Frame unstructured for many years using many versions. We are all currently using Frame 2017 and have never seen this problem with previous versions. Is there a reason why we are seeing it now and do we know if this bug exists in Frame 2019? We will upgrade to 2019 if that's the case. We should not have to be playing with code to solve bugs. Thanks! ... View more

Thank you, I will try all of your suggestions. It's a bit ridiculous to have to go through the process of converting to MIF to get a normal result. Just saying. Winfried - I saw the bug report you sent (thank you for that!) but the selections to login and vote produced error pages. Maybe that's why there are no votes? ... View more

Well, they look the same width! After playing with the Right tab stop, you are right, everything moved into place. Now I'll work on making the width the same. Thanks very much! Sally ... View more

Hi Barb, It's not picking up the right tab stop or the leader dots. The page numbers are correct but flush against the heading (which are correct).  All the <$pagenum> and <$paratext> blocks are in place and formatted how I'd like when I generate the TOC.  Again, it's only page 2 that is not generating properly, pages 1 and 3 are fine. Sally Page 2 is on the left, page 1 on the right. Page 3 looks similar to page 1.   ... View more

Hi. Thanks for attempting to answer my question. Maybe I'm making it harder than it is. I have finished redlining all the files in my book. It sounds like you're saying I should copy the folder my Frame project is in and paste it into a new folder, perhaps named "clean." Then open the book in the new folder and accept the edits in each individual book. Then I'll make a PDF of the "clean" book and use it for my next Adobe shared review. Any new edits from that review I'll incorporate into the folder that has the original edits and then overwrite that folder into the "clean" folder repeating this process until all reviewers are happy. The clean PDF and redlined PDF will go into our Agile PLM for approvals and archival. Writing this out helps. Thanks again! ... View more

Hi. I appreciate your answer but that is not the answer I'm looking for. I do use a doc control system. But the files I put into that system have to have a PDF redlined version and a PDF clean version. I'm just not sure how to take the Frame files (the book) and make them clean while at the same time retaining a folder of the redlines. What's the quickest way to accept all edits in a book with 17 files and still keep a book that has the redlines.  Is there a way to accept all the edits for each file at the same time or do I have to accept all edits for each individual file saving it somewhere else? Do I need to delete all the files from the book save them somewhere else and put them back together again? Thanks. I'm using unstructured FrameMaker 12. ... View more

Hi Arnis and Bob, I gave you the wrong version of my software. I'm actually using FM12 (I still had FM10 as a shortcut on my desktop). Based on your replies, that doesn't seem to matter. I did not realize there was a FM17! Since I need to retain redlined files in a separate folder from clean files, my thinking was that it would be easier to have one file for the document rather than a book with a bunch of files in it. My document is only 30 pages but the authors want a TOC, LOT and LOF in it.  Arnis, by "create text inset" do you mean copy/paste or import the lists into a page? I had hoped to create a master page for each list and then use reference pages for each to format. I think you're right that a book is easier all around. Thanks! ... View more

Thanks David artman designs. I also had to access Edit/Preferences/Alerts (underneath General) and uncheck File contains unavailable fonts to get rid of the pesky popup. I use Arial throughout my documents which is a standard font. Is there no way to run a report of some type to find rogue fonts? ... View more
