126. #20410 Can you find the fractions on your keyboard? If not, you’re not alone. Believe it or not, there are no designated keystrokes for fractions on a Mac. PCs offer a few (1/4, 1/2, 3/4), but they’re so well-hidden most users can’t find them anyway. Yet fractions appear fairly often in copy, so what’s a person to do? It’s too frustrating by half!

What about hyperlinks? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to automatically validate all the hypertext links within a large set of FrameMaker files? Did you ever wish there was a way to automatically convert a set of data into FrameMaker tables? You can do all these things, and more, using the Maker Interchange Format (MIF). This article presents some of the main features of MIF and gives an overview of some of the ways you can make use of MIF. Additional articles will delve deeper into using Perl to process MIF, providing details on specific applications. Larsen, Seraphim. Silicon Valley Connection (2002).

FrameMaker documents are inherently complex and often compound in nature; this reality must be recognized in order to effectively manage FrameMaker documents, so that their contents can be fully leveraged. Lloyd, Harold. STC Proceedings (1999). Design>Document Design>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 130. #20501 I'd like to vote in favor of dispelling the MYTH that FrameMaker is difficult to learn. Muller, Rita. InFrame. Articles>Software>Document Design>Adobe FrameMaker 131. #18823 Much can be learned about Frame document structure and the objects within by examining documents saved in MIF format. Wideman, Graham. WidemanOne (2001). Design>Document Design>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 132. #28737 FrameMaker seems to be Adobe's best-kept secret. A tremendously powerful desktop-publishing program, FrameMaker has been ritually ignored by reviewers who instead concentrate on the big three DTP apps: QuarkXPress, InDesign, and PageMaker. Adobe positioned FrameMaker as a niche 'word-processing' product appropriate only for long-document production. EDITsphere (2007). Articles>Document Design>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 133. #18793 This site contains links of interest to users of Adobe FrameMaker, the industry-leading tool for creating long or complex technical documents. Paired with Quadralay's WebWorks Publisher, it is also an excellent tool for single source solutions that involve some combination of print or PDF, online Help, and Web-based information. Knopf Online. Resources>Document Design>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 134. #27656 FrameMaker: Structured or Unstructured? At the 2004 WritersUA and STC Conferences, structured FrameMaker and XML were among the more popular session topics. There is obviously significant interest in the user assistance community about authoring XML documents with structured FrameMaker. This is not surprising, as many organizations are struggling with the problems of creating and delivering increasing amounts of user assistance in multiple formats, and managing their content in a way that maximizes their capabilities to reuse content across multiple publications. Houser, Alan R. WritersUA (2004). Articles>Document Design>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 135. #23457 I modified the FrameMaker template browser to display our department's templates rather than the generic ones that come with the software. The writers no longer have to dig through the company's folder structure to find the template they need. Henkel, Rick. Docspages.

The best way to start is to read the FrameScript Scriptwriter’s Guide. And the Quick Reference will provide you shortcuts to learning the FrameScript syntax. This tutorial will introduce some foundational concepts of writing scripts that will help you get started. Carmen Publishing. Articles>Document Design>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 139. #20888 FrameScript Tutorials: Cross-References There are two types of cross-references in FrameMaker: paragraph cross-references and spot cross-references. (There is a third type, element cross-references, available only in FrameMaker+SGML. This tutorial will not discuss element cross-references) Both paragraph and spot cross-references are similar, in that you have to insert an Xref object that points to a Cross-Ref Marker. The Xref object has an XRefSrcText property that must exactly match the marker text of the Cross-Ref Marker. Let’s start with spot cross-references, since they are a little simpler to work with. Carmen Publishing. Articles>Document Design>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 140. #20892 FrameScript Tutorials: Loops and Linked Lists In the previous lesson, we introduced a simple FrameScript loop to process all of the paragraph formats in a document. In this lesson, we will introduce a variation of the loop, and the important concept of linked lists' of FrameMaker objects. Carmen Publishing. Articles>Document Design>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 141. #20891 FrameScript Tutorials: Navigating Paragraphs Being able to navigate paragraphs in FrameMaker documents is an essential FrameScript task. This tutorial will explore several methods. For background information, see the Loops and Lists tutorial. Carmen Publishing. Articles>Document Design>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 142. #20890 FrameScript Tutorials: Scaling Tables to Fit the Text Column Width Here is a simple script that proportionately scales a table to fit the text column that contains it. This script works with the current table but can be easily expanded to work with all of the tables in a document or book. Carmen Publishing. Articles>Document Design>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 143. #20889 FrameScript Tutorials: Styles for FrameMaker Graphics If you are making a lot of FrameMaker graphics, such as lines with arrowheads, the thought of having to change them later can give you nightmares. Wouldn’t it be nice to have 'stylesheets' for graphic objects? With FrameScript, you can apply 'styles' to your graphics so that their properties can be globally changed. Carmen Publishing.

The technology of laser printing has reestablished the importance of visual language in functional communication, transforming contemporary document design and redefining its relation to the traditions of handwritten, typewritten, and printed text. During this period of transition, three factors will shape the new visual language: (a) the development of a visual rhetoric that represents design as an integral part of the message rather than merely as external "dress," (b) the rediscovery of aesthetics as a legitimate factor in text design, and (c) the use of empirical research--particularly context-specific research--to guide the document design process.
