Using the single brace with a vertical list works (sometimes).  I'm 
not sure if FrameMaker has this problem on all machines, but on my Mac 
the left brace sometimes shows up correctly sized to match the 
vertical list of equations ... sometimes it doesn't.  I find that the 
results change as I change the viewing resolution.  Sometimes it shows 
up fine on screen but it doesn't print correctly.  What I ended up 
doing, at the suggestion of Frame Tech support, was drawing a left 
brace using the drawing tools.  How's that for kludge!

Peter,

To the best of my knowledge, it is contractually unacceptable for CDS 
licensees to use the FrameViewer distributed by Cadence to do anything 
other than view Cadence online documentation.  Since you obviously have
Maker licenses (as indicated in your post), why not just use Maker and
lock your documents (it will seems as though you're using Viewer)?

You mean MS-Windows on the PC?  I assume you can convert Mac's MS-Word
into Mac's Frame without any problem including the MacDraw graphics. 
 
If that is the case, just turn on the 'store image something' option
in the MacFrame version under 'preferences'.  That should allow you to
port any graphics over. The graphics resolution is somewhat lost
though.

I am in need of a program to organize bibliographical data.
I have heard ofEndnote, ProCite, PaperBase, Ask Sam, and WP Citation,
although I have not seen or used them.  This program will be
used by the entire faculty of arts here at our university, so
I would like to get advice/experience from the Net before any
purchase is made.

It should ideally be easy to use, work equally well with large
and small bibliographies, export to different (at least WP) word
processer formats with minimum of hassle, and support foreign
languages (I have seen much US software that assumes English is
the only language in existance... ;-).

I would appreciate e-mailed responses, as I seldom have time to
read NetNews.  A summary will be posted if there is interest.

If this is the wrong group for this kind of question, I would
appreciate being pointed in the proper direction.

There are no top and bottom margins by default, in troff or groff.

You must be using a macro package.  Tell us the macro package and we can

hello netters,

We are trying to put together a PC system capable of scanning and recognizing
potentially large volumes of text. Everything from lengthy committe
proposals to magazine articles to books are likely to be input. We also 
need the system to scan in color graphics occasionally.

We think using caere omnipage pro 2.1 with a microtek 600dpi flatbed
color scanner looks like the best way to accomplish this.

If anyone has any experience in this area and would like to offer
an opinion we would greatly appreciate it.

If anyone has any experience using automatic sheet feeders with OCR
packages we would appreciate hearing about it. We are concerned that
the sheet feeders may not align forms well enough for the OCR package.

Thank you for you help!!!

These things are not part of g/n/troff, but from the macro package

Have you tried the various <CTRL-V> codes for hyphen, endash and emdash?

You may recall that I got into this pickle by merely suggesting
that someone might want to look at Ventura 4.1. In 4.1 you can
print by pressing a button on a button bar. I haven't made a 
survey of how many keyboard shortcuts there are, but I think 
there is an increasing trend to go the button bar (or speed bar or
whatever) route. I'm fond of keyboard shortcuts myself, but in
recent years I've had to give up on most because I just can't
remember them well enough to avoid sending my work into the 
ether from time to time. (For better or for worse I have to work
on 5 different O/S platforms and I find that even the same 
software sold on different platforms employs different keyboard
shortcuts from one platform to the next. Anybody remember moving
from control-c in WordStar to something else? <smile>)

>Can anyone summarize the difference between Ventura 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0(1)?

2.0 was a good program for its time. 3.0 was treading water and 
attempting to expand to Windows. Poorly in my opinion. 4.0 was
an attempt to clean up for Windows. Failed, in my opinion. 4.1 is
a nice try which will keep a few of us in the fold for the time 
being.

In Interleaf 5, there is a filter for MS Word/RTF (release 4 filter)
and just a plain MS Word/RTF into Interleaf.

When I tried them (I do not have a MS/RTF file to try them on), I did
not get a filter password error, which means the filters are probably
available to the lowest level license.

You have to use Custom->Misc->Filter Setup to get a list of filters.
Just because a filter is on teh lsit does not mean you have a license
for it, but there aren't too many (mostly the Interleaf to.. ones)
that aren't available.

Interleaf 5.3 even has postscript to Interleaf and HPGL to Interleaf.
That was nice of them.

If you have any questions on how to access the filters (as a user, not
as a SysManager), let me know.

Piece of cake.  In your graphics box specify the file name of your
postscript file (assuming it's eps, of course), e.g. d:\pictures\123.ps.

This is far superior to converting to .wpg format.  As an earlier
posting noted, you will only see the phrase Postscript information when
you view the document.  When you print the document (on a ps printer),
you will get the high-quality ps output you want.  Converting to wpg
will allow you to view the graphic, but output quality goes way down.

Incredible is one way to describe it.
6 point text is rendered perfectly, Grayscale output is nearing a

He says it won't be available until the end of November, but it looks

I certainly know the feeling of using the same software on a different
platform and suddenly keystrokes are different. You feel like
something from twilight zone, where the world changed while you were
asleep - you need to check your spouse to see if the pod people have
invaded. However: I'm an extremely proficient touch typist, and there
is nothing which irritates me, and slows me down, more than having to
go to a mouse to click up an option when I can type a few keys to do
the same. I think out of all the deficits of Ventura, this is the most
mind-numbing. If I had to shift a set of boxes around, or had to
change a large list of a few elements, to have to click on the
paragraph, click on a box, click on an option, click on the choice,
click on OK, then repeat ad nauseum. Oh! For the miracle they call
EMACS.

The EPS files you want to import to CorelDraw should be formatted as
Adobe Illustrator files, in fact a subset of the EPS standard (real
Postscript Guru's know this is not completely true - I know).  At first
glance AI files look like EPS files, but with abbreviated postscript
operators (for example: curveto becomes 'c' or 'C').  I have
ocassionally converted *small* PostScript files to AI files by hand
(with the help of some macro's), but this is hardly a 'general'
solution.

If you want detailed information on both formats, you can get a
description from the Adobe File Server (a good source of information
about PostScript).  Send a message with the text 'help' in the message
body to 'ps-file-server@adobe.com'

BTW, what version of CorelDraw are you using?
