Hello Framers,
I’m in need of some basic advice. I’ve been using Frame for >20 years
but have not yet used structured Frame. My Frame is 8.0p273, Acrobat
Professional is 10.1.7
From an eList about crime fiction, several authors are writing a
collaborative mystery story. I’m organizing the story in Access. The
story itself is in an rtf memo field called BookComponent.Storytext. My
friend is writing VBA code to export Storytext to html (Storytext.html)
but he has no familiarity with Frame. So far, he has exported to html
which MS Word can read, then I can copy and paste into Frame—this is a
bit too ugly for repetitive iterations. Both Rick Quatro and Shlomo
Perets have offered help (services), but I don’t even understand what to
ask for.
If I understand correctly, what I should be able to do is to open
structured Frame and introduce it to Storytext.html and somehow get all
the <h1> tags to convert to <Heading1> paratags. Right? How could one
phrase this better (so as to explain the process which happens)?
I have been pointed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\FrameMaker8\Structure\xml\xhtml\app\template
but as there is nothing in the template, I don’t understand what to do
with it.
FrameMaker 8’s User Guide is not helpful.
Could a kindly Framer point me to a sample which I could study?
Thanks in advance,
Theresa
P.S. If you want to read the cool mystery story it’s in a pdf on this page:
