Convert XLS to DOC, then use FM to open the DOC and save it as FM. You'll then have a FM table you can do with as you please. - Bill [morning] B I L L S W A L L O W Information Design & Development Professional

You need to make your edits in the book file for numbering and not int the FM files, unless from the book file they are set to read from file. The order of precedence is book, then file. I suggest you pick up Sarah O'Keefe and Sheila Loring's book. http://www.scriptorium.com/books/fm7cr.html -...

Filtrix is your best bet if you have a lot to convert. http://www.blueberry.com/ - Bill [morning] B I L L S W A L L O W Information Design & Development Professional

The benefits are that you can author in a structured environment. What that means to you and whether or not it'd be worthwhile to you I can't say, as I'm not you. [tongue] Learning curve is relative to the user. B I L L S W A L L O W Information Design & Development Professional

Are you using alternating left and right master pages? Is your document pagination settings reflecting this as well? B I L L S W A L L O W Information Design & Development Professional

It's the way it is. Think of an inset as a bit of text frozen in time. You'd have to put your xrefs outside the inset. B I L L S W A L L O W Information Design & Development Professional

What kind of fonts are you using? Are you sure both of you have them installed correctly? Also, are you both using the same version of FM? B I L L S W A L L O W Information Design & Development Professional

Sure is. Create your individual books as usual. When they're done, generate and update them one last time and then import add contents (chapter files as well as generated files) into the master book. Make sure you add the individual books' TOCs as regular files and not as generated TOCs (IOW...

Removing the formatting button bar works in-house, but in this case I don't think this is a mandate that a publishing company can pass down to its clients. In this scenario, the best the publishing shop can do is make it clear that clean formatting on the part of the client will get the best...

You cannot import PDF into FM and make it editable. PDF is a finished output format. What you can do is as DoctorMaustus advises - open the PDF in Acrobat (not Reader) and save it to RTF. The conversion will be about 80%. There will be a need for cleanup, and you will have to export the images...

You may want to try re-installing the fonts. Chances are the fonts were left in the folder when the OS was reinstalled. You can do a basic font install by selecting all fonts, moving them to another folder, and then dropping them back into the fonts folder. Instead of the normal "move/copy...

In your printer properties there's a check box labeled "shrink to fit". Clear it. Shrink to fit takes the original page dimensions and proportionally shrinks them to fit within the printable region of the target printer. B I L L S W A L L O W Information Design & Development Professional

The best way is to flog your clients until they do it correctly. ;-) This is something that most FrameUsers complain about - people using Frame like Word. The truth is, most people don't understand the difference between true bold (via character styles) and "fake" bold (via the button...

You should be looking at scripting resources and not PDF resources then. This process you wish to achieve is assuming many things, but mainly that the users all will have the correct versions of Reader installed and all have a physical printer set as their machine's default printer. FWIW, I...

Did you change your magnification in the PDF? Did that help? What kind of compression did you use on the image when creating the PDF? Did you print the PDF? Did it print clean? Acrobat has a known display limitation. See the FAQ at www.adobeforums.com for Acroabt (Windows). B I L L S W A L...

Are you saying you want the user to click a link on a web page and, instead of the pdf file launching to view, it just prints to the user's default printer? I'm not sure this can be done, at least not easily. You'd have to write a script for the link action in the HTML file. B I L L S W A L L...

How are you creating the PDF files? Using Word? Another tool? Using the cheesy PDFWriter tool, or printing to PS and distilling the PS to PDF? If you're going the PS route, Acrobat can be used in a watched folder scenario where it looks at a folder and when a PS file is placed in there, it...

What version of the Distiller PPD was used to create the virtual Distiller PS printer? You may want to try creating a new Distiller printer on your machine. First, go to Adobe.com/products and download the latest PS driver for your OS, then install it using the Distiller PPD (located in...

I really don't know of any limitation in Acrobat 5 with regard to viewing PDF 1.2 documents. You may want to try the Acrobat forums at http://www.adobeforums.com and see if there's a FAQ entry on Acrobat 5 bugs or post the question there. Good luck! B I L L S W A L L O W Information Design &...
