hi,

I've used the import (by reference) feature of frame on some of my graphic
files, it works great. Now, I have files that contain c-code that I would
like to include in my frame document. The trick is that I want to include
them by reference so that when they change, my document changes as well.

Why does this not work when importing a text file by reference? Is this a
bug?  Is this a feature? Most importantly, is there a way around this problem?

thanks,

I have the same problem and here is my work around:
1. Set the root window to a color other than black, eg blue.
   Your FM icons will then have a blue background and black letter.
2. Use xsetroot to set your root window to black: the results are
   black root window and blue icons.
Hope it helps.

Hi,

We're looking at the possibility of using Framemaker
in our Department and have a large group of people
with LaTeX documents.  On the basis of information
in the FAQ for this newsgroup (which is VERY VERY
useful by the way - a big thanks to the authors)
I've looked into la2mml.  Are there any other LaTeX
to Frame conversion programs (and the
reverse) - either PD or commercial products?

Thanks,

My problem is connected to search and replacement. I have a part of my

area in question, perform the replacement - but before I can perform 
the next replacement I have to redo the selection, since it disappears
when I do a changeall. Is there a shortcut to redo last selection, so
that I can avoid going back and forth in the document after each

We use PVCS from Intersolv, Beaverton OR, for storing FrameMaker files
on a Sun network. It works with MIF of course, and frame binary as
well (but make sure that keyword expansion if OFF on binaries).
PVCS is also available on PC platforms.  Similar to rcs/sccs types
or revision controllers, but more features.

Organization: Hewlett-Packard Laboratories

I have a Macintosh font for a foreign script that I want to use in
FrameMaker under HP-UX (as well as on my Mac).  I went through all of
the steps in appendix A of the reference manual and finally got the
font converted and installed, but when I use it, a funny thing
happens: the characters are spread out l i k e t h i s in what appears
to be a fixed width grid until the end of the line is reached, at
which point the text scrunches back together as it should.  Typing is
normal until the end of the line is reached again, then when the
cursor wraps to the next line, it (the next line) starts out spread
once again.  This happens if the line is flush left or justified, but
not if it is centered or flush right.

If anybody has any ideas about what's going on or what I can do about
it, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks.

  I have just ported a whole user document from Interleaf to Frame.
Most of the documentation ported over well except the Interleaf book
and share text information.  I found rewriting the book information
in Frame no problems.  However, I been having trouble with shared or
cross-referencing text in Frame.

 I have a paragraph with many tabs and highlighted sections which I
repeat over several pages and files.  This paragraph is changing
frequently.  I would like to only change it in one location and have
it reflect to the other locations. I been able to cross-reference
the paragraph but only the text information has reflected across to
the other locations.  Is there a way in which the tabs and highlights
can also be carried over to the other locations.

What i have done is create a virtual printer, let's say "ps", print to
"ps" printer and, in FMlpr script, if printer name is "ps", replace it
with $PRINTER.

look at FMlpr script and modify it to match your taste (you can add
print options after printer name, they are passed to the script)

Hey there,

I've having a little problem here: one of our customers is thinking about buying Frame, but as it is a university they have always worked with LateX up till now, so the filter la2mif came in handy, but, there is one problem:
It seems to be possible to include PostScript file in a LateX document, and the la2mif filter doesn't seem to like that. It does not know what to do with those includings. 

Question: Is there anyone out there who has had the same problem, and who can set me on the track of a filter which is capable of doing the import completely:
 that is a filter which automaticly turns the PostScript into import by reference file in the MIF code or just makes a frame in the MIF in which the PostScript is then placed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

---- Can I suppress the postscript interpreter on the Indigo? ----

I am using framemaker on an SGI Indigo.

The documents I am editing contain many diagrams that comprise an
anchored frame with an imported postscript figure in them. On a
Sparcstation they are quickly displayed as a black rectangle
corresponding to the bounding box. On the Indigo the system attempts
to interpret the postscript and display it. The postscript files use
macros that I only include when I do the final print out of the
document thus the system still only displays the black rectangle, the
problem is that it takes 40 seconds to do so.

I am not bothered about seeing the postscript. I would just like to be
able to flick through the pages without taking all day.

Is there any way of disabling (breaking, crashing, removing,
confusing...) the postscript interpreter. Either from within
FrameMaker or from the operating system?

cheers.

Yes, actually there is (almost everything seems user configurable in
FrameMaker isn't it?). Add the following line to your X resources:

Maker.useDPS:		False

(and restart FrameMaker).

We also have a need to CM frame documents. We use SCCS for our cm
system. At a minimum it would be great if frame permitted administrators to
configure frame so that it inserted cm control characters into
all frame documents where the version id's could be stored. Then
SCCS could replace the magic control characters with version numbers.

See page 2-25 of the Using FrameMaker manual for Windows. It talks about
compatibility preferences when using FrameMaker across platforms. The
prefernce that you need to set is "Save FrameImage with imported
graphics". When you bring the file to the HP machine you should not even
have to convert it to mif since FrameMaker is binary compatible across
all platforms.

Good Luck
