Hi, I'm having a problem setting an attribute value. When I debug the script it looks good, but when the script finishes the attribute doesn't have the value,...
I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'm wanting to write a script that will open a PDF with Acrobat. The purpose is simply to have an item on the scripts...
Hi Brandon, You could use the eSys.RunProgram command to launch the PDF with a command line call. I am not sure what the correct call is, but this should get...

Thanks, Rick. Had to add "Wait(0)" at the end of the Run eSys line to make the script terminate right away instead of waiting some default time....
I'm importing a table into a blank document from a text file that follows the form of Text-Tab-Text-Tab-Text. Occasionally, some of the text in the middle...
Hi Brandon, You are making me think way, way back, but I seem to remember that this was an issue with one of my scripts. The solution was to pre-process the...

Hi! I'm working on a script that selects text between 2 paragraphs. What I would like to do is scroll through the document from the insertion point (which will...
Thanks for your help Klaus! I managed to solve it yesterday though, before the moderator approved my message. This is what i ended up with: Set oDoc =...
I asked in a framemaker forum a long time ago without a good answer, so I thought I would bring it up here. I've got an old document (5+ years) with one body...
Does anyone have a script (or sample script) that can search all of the markers in an FM doc and if it contains "\<$nopage\>", change it to "<$nopage>" (quotes...
I have a request from a customer to NOT combine Index / Marker entries with the same name into 1 line. For example, current my TOC (or markers) looks like...
Hi Chris, To get separate entries like this, try using a list of markers instead of an index of markers. A list will give you a separate entry for each marker....

When I try that, I no longer get the entries under each level. Level 1.....1 Level 1a Level 1b Level 2......5 Level 2a Level 2......7 Level 2b etc. Does that...
Hi Chris, Yes, I see what you mean. You will probably have to generate a standard index and then use FrameScript to post-process the index and make a separate ...

I will end up having to add a unique character to each duplicate because some of the sub-entries go with a specific upper-entry, not all upper-entries. Thanks....
I may try & see if there are any non-printable characters I could use to make an entry unique. At least that way I wouldn't have to post process......maybe. ...
... because ... Forgive me, but I don't see how this makes sense. Let's use a real example. You're saying you have multiple index markers for the entry ...
Well, that made a lot more sense before the stupid list stripped out the white space for indents. Let's try underscores instead of spaces: ... because ... ...
Just to clarify what is required by the customer: (underscores represent an indention in the index levels) Fruit....2 __Apple __Orange Fruit...6 __Grape ...
... I second that! And I sometimes talk far too long to customers to talk them out of IMO bad ideas. I am not sure if this is also part of what indexing...
Again, it doesn't matter what any of us think, its what I have to create for the paying customer. I agree with everyone here, I would never recommend an index...
... Obviously the level 1 index entries look the same but are _not_ the same, or else the distinction would be useless. In FrameMaker you can add the sorting...
Excellent idea. I will go test that out this afternoon and report back. Thanks again. On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 3:44 PM, Michael Müller-Hillebrand < ... -- ... ...
Hi Chris, I can see two possibilities, but both a bit tedious. One is to create several marker types and use a different marker type for each sequential same...
This didn't seem to work. Gave me some weird results. I am going to continue to look at it from this angle though. Thanks again. On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 3:44...
