Hi scripters, Here's my problem: I have conditionalized (30 condition tags for 30 languages) warning texts in named frames on a specific reference page in a FM...
If you have it at hand, you could try it with FrameMaker 8, which supports more virtual fonts (FontSubstitutes) than FrameMaker 9. Another option would be to...
Hello Scripters, I want to use a series of buttons in an EForm and have them behave somewhat like checkboxes or toggle buttons. Is there a way to have a button...

Hi Rick, Just off the top of my head (it's been a while since I messed with EForms): Could you change the background color on the button (like from grey to ...
My coworker is working on some Flare output. The graphics are coming out in anchored frames set to "at insertion point." Our standard is "Below current line."...
I need to tabs back-2-back in an index. 1 tab works fine. But if I immediately follow it with another tab, only 1 tab seems to be placed in the generated...
Chris, This is a forum for users/programmers of the FrameScript plug-in for FrameMaker. Most members apparently will have a certain knowledge of FrameMaker,...
Hi Chris, This is a known issue that goes way back. Since you are using FrameScript, generate the index with a character between the tabs, and use a script to ...

Sorry, I'll use the Framemaker group next time. Thanks Rick for the insight. ... -- ... Chris Moore (972) 288-5007 (972) 288-5058 fax...
You'd have to Change the .AnchorType property. It's pretty well documented in the FrameScript reference manual, but this should do it: //-- Selected Graphic in...
Hi, I'm looking for a way to tell whether a script was called from a RunEslBatch or from within Framemaker. I've searched for caller, client, command line and...
Hi Mary, When you call it from RunEslBatch, are you passing in any arguments? If so, you can test the Args.Count property to see if it is greater than 0. ...

Rich, Thanks for the answer. Yes, I have tested for Args.Count in the past and that does work. It is just that I was hoping there was some other definitive ...

Hi, Is passing arguments to FrameScript possible? I read that RunEslBatch can pass arguments to a script, but what we want to achieve is a little bit...
Hi Hrachya, You can pass any number of arguments to FrameScript using RunEslBatch. The syntax is in the documentation, but basically the -f flag precedes the...

Thanks for the pointers, Rick! I sort of guessed that it's possible in FrameScript. I will give this a thorough read and will get back with questions if I have...
Hi Brandon, The other approach is to abandon the Import command and use Read File to read it line-by-line. You can use Set sColumns =...

Came up with another approach. Since the script is already opening the text document first as text to check for and remove some other things before converting...
I looked at this posting and tried Rick's solution and it works great. I've been trying to modify the code to work on the currently selected elemnt instead of...

Thanks Rick. This works nicely. I had figured out a less elegant way of getting the Attribute value on my own. In my case the attribute I am testing can...

That works Nicely! As usual Rick, you are the best! It was that pesky "eStr.ToStringList" command I was missing. Gonna have to make a note of that. Thanks, ...
