    Importing high-resolution files into FrameMaker

    Graphics embedded into FM documents are never compressed, unfortunately. They are "converted" to a FrameMaker native bitmap format and don't retain the original file attributes or format. (Try to extract one to another program and you'll see what I mean.) OLE Pasted objects are, of...

    Importing Visio drawings into Frame

    What versions of Visio and FrameMaker are you using? We have had good luck with eps and have not seen the distiller problem you describe. (Are you distilling via the Distiller printer driver?) Some of our documents use pasted OLE Visio graphics that the writers can click on and revise using...

    Unavailable fonts message

    This often happens because PCs have access to fonts from the default printer that may not be installed on the machine itself. So if the some PCs are connected to PostScript printers, they may have PS fonts defined via the printer driver that the other PC (connected, perhaps, to PCL printers) do...

    The master-page "domino effect"--any solution?

    If your problem is just caused by having to apply the First master page to the chapter heading pages, why in the world are you not building your document using a book? If you assign the First master page to the first page of each chapter (i.e. file) in the book, adding pages to the previous...

    FrameMaker output formats

    Check the Adobe site for a list of output formats. Beware that there are always trade-offs when doing this. Users who are converting to Word often cite the usefulness of mif2go from www.omsys.com in making this much easierl and trouble-free to accomplish. My own experience with Word translations...

    Framemaker 6.0 vs 7.0

    FM7 has all the functionality of FM6 (including saveAs FM6 binary format). In addition it has much more (Structured Authoring, XML, bug fixes, working SaveAs PDF...). Unless purchasing FM6 is going to save you a ton of money, opt for the increased feature potential of FM7 (even if you not going...

    Framemaker to PDF

    This happens if you are using the wrong version of Adobe's printer driver and True Type fonts. Download the Adobe Printer 4.26 from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=44&platform=Windows. Also download the Adobe PPDs. Unpack them, them install the 4.26 driver picking the...

    Change background in Frame

    You can change the background color to text boxes (on either the master page or body pages) by selecting the text box, applying a solid fill (choose the solid black box from the fill selections in the expanded Graphics palette) and then choosing the Color of your choice for the Graphics palette...

    Clients tagging BOLD instead of using a BOLD font quest

    Instead of flogging them, have someone remove offending formatting button from the interface using the ConfigCustomUIFile setting to point to a menu customization file. Sholmo Perets site at www.microtype.com has a link at the top to download "FM Express Customization 3.02 (free)" that...
