Hi Fellow FrameUsers,

I've heard about using MIF files to extricate unavailable fonts from a book.

How is that accomplished?

Thanks.

TCS4 came out in July of 2012, Windows 8 came out in August 2012.  Windows 8
is not listed on the original specs, but I would _assume_ TCS4 was updated
to work with Windows 8 since it followed so closely. But you know what they
say about assuming...

*****************************
Pretty sure they do because Win8 was out last year when TCS4 came out.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if all the applications in Technical Communications Suite 4
run on Windows 8?
Thank you.

Save .fm files as MIF, find & replace "bad font" with "good font"; open back up in FM and save as .fm files. But it's faster to just let FM do the substitution and then save that, IMHO.

TCS4's requirements are Windows 7, Vista SP2, or XP SP3. If you
install on Windows 8 and need tech support, probably the first thing
Adobe will tell you is to upgrade to TCS5.

Don't all these OS version have compatibility modes? I've found not problem running earlier software on Win8 boxes, though I haven't tried my TCS3 on them. Win 8 appears to be basically Win 7 underneath with the App layer added on, which wouldn't be used anyway.

Better to use the Fonts pod, no? The docs will tell you what to do.

Hi Theresa de Valence



Thanks for reporting the issues.



I have seen the your post on the forum, Arnis Gubins<https://forums.adobe.com/people/Arnis%20Gubins> Sep 10, 2014 6:17 PM (in response to TdeV1<https://forums.adobe.com/message/6719491#6719491>) has already responded how to customize the styles.

I am providing some more links which may help you

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS2d2a17056e21919879671c77142c1ced24b-8000.html



To override output specific css use "Override Style: Import a .css file to override the defined output styles.<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS2d2a17056e2191985844af1a142be0be50b-7ff9.html>"



- chapters out of order

We have also observed this, if any chapter is not part of TOC, then it appends that in last, We are providing fix of this in our next update coming soon.



- error message when Table of Contents item is clicked

                We will look into it, Please provide us a sample document where it repro, that will help us for speedy investigation.



Regarding CSS, FM keep a single css for style mapping that you can set it though import style in style mapping dialog. And you can export the css if you did any customization though FM CSS editor.



Please let me know if you need any help.



Thanks

Amit Jha

Subject: Troubleshooting Frame 12's Publish pod

Message-ID: <5410D903.1010904 at bstw.com<mailto:5410D903.1010904 at bstw.com>>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed



My unstructured Frame book autonumbers correctly, generates TOC, saves to pdf and displays correctly.



I?ve minor experience creating html newsletters, so I?ve seen a CSS. I understand enough about ePub to know that a CSS will control formatting.



Using Frame 12?s Publish feature, the ePub is generated successfully.

The epub has

-chapters out of order,

-a correct TOC (from fm book files), but an error message when Table of Contents item is clicked on ("The file x.htm does not exist") [from Sigil, an ebook publisher, which shows the content of epubs] -a CSS for every file in the book



Previously I thought that the left hand (Frame) didn?t know what the right (CSS) was doing, or how elements related to each other, and so I needed to use a structured Frame document to establish the relationship.

I?ve been told that?s incorrect.



I now understand that Frame 12?s ability to publish to epub, etc. is derived from Robohelp, but it?s been a trillion years since I used Robohelp, so that doesn?t help me. I haven?t had a copy of Robohelp on my machine for decades, so I can?t see this live.



In the Publish pod, edit Settings, a Style Mapping dialogue shows all of the current document?s paragraph tags. Selecting one paratag (the left

hand) displays a choice of "output" (the right hand). (I posted the screen images to adobe.com forum here:

https://forums.adobe.com/message/6715414#6715414 )



Where does this list of output styles (elements) come from? Adobe?s programmers? An accident of fate? What defines what that format is? Is this where the CSS comes from?



Since I?m publishing rubbish, have I inadvertently massaged my Settings file? Where do I find an uncorrupted one?



I can understand tweaking a CSS to make it better, but I can?t understand if I haven?t created a CSS in the first place.



Ideas or pointers are appreciated.



Thanks,

Theresa
