Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS);faqs.046 Also, for reference marker delimiters you should use curly brackets (as shown above) instead of EndNote's default square brackets. MIF uses square brackets (but doesn't appear to use any curly brackets) to denote various information and EndNote will think that these are citations and try to find a match for them in your bibliography. Furthermore, EndNote Plus has a bug that causes it to crash if it sees an open delimiter without a corresponding close delimiter. Since the MIF file contains a lot of square brackets a crash will sometimes occur if you use square brackets. 2. When you are ready to add your bibliography write out your FM document as a MIF file. 3. Create a Microsoft Word 4 file called Bibliography (or whatever name you like). This is the file that will eventually contain your formatted bibliography entries. The first time I tried this I used an empty Word document and EndNote crashed, so add a few paragraph marks to the Word file. 4. Have EndNote open your MIF file using the menu selection: Paper-->Open Paper. 5. Use the "Next file" option (Paper-->Next File) in EndNote to have it open the Word 4 Bibliography file. 6. Tell EndNote to format your paper (Paper-->Format). (As usual, make sure you have selected the appropriate citation style.) EndNote will create two new documents. The first will be a MIF document of your paper with the reference markers replaced with the appropriate in-text citations. The second is a Word file containing your bibliography entries with the appropriate text styles (e.g., italics, underlining, etc.) 7. Open the newly created MIF file from FrameMaker. 8. Open the Word file from within FM. [Note: If you are using Connectix Virtual and FM 2.1, make sure you turn off Virtual or set it at no more than 8 megs before you try to open the Word file. (FM 2.1 filters will crash if Virtual has more than 8 megs assigned.)] 9. Copy the bibliography entries and paste them into the MIF document. You will probably want to apply an FM paragraph style to them. 10. Write the MIF file out as a Normal FM file. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 10 How do I display white text on a black background? (and other X Window System specific information) -------- A. White Text on Black Background Set up the following in your .Xdefaults file: (Works for FM3.0 and FM3.1 on X.) Maker.colorDocs: False Maker*docBackground: black Maker*winRect.foreground: white To set the menus, dialogs, borders, etc. to white-on-black, try: Maker*background: black Maker*foreground: white -------- B. Other X Resources Look in the various files in $FMHOME/.fminit2.0/xresources . -------- C. Keyboard Mappings Refer to $FMHOME/.fminit2.0/kbmaps/README.kbmap for lots of info on keyboard mapping, and pointer to the various files used for mapping. (NeXT: /LocalAppls/FrameMaker.app/fminit2.0/......) Print out: $FMHOME/.fminit2.0.ps/docs/QuickRef.doc -------- D. How come I can't type in any dialogs? Try setting the following attributes: Maker*focusOnMouse: True OpenWindows.FoucsLenience: True Also, consult the Release Notes, particularly the section about configuring FM for different window managers. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 11 Is there any easy way to move one or more pages to a different place in the document? (Two layout models.) FM supports two basic layout models; let's call them "newspaper" and "term paper". In the term paper model, there's basically one story that flows from one page to the next; the pages themselves can be thought of as transient, existing only to divide up the flow. In the newspaper model, the pages exist independently of the stories, and you place the stories by reshaping the text columns and linking a column on page 1 to a column on another page. The newspaper model is also used for producing "forms". Overhead transparencies can be done with either model. In the newspaper model, you probably start out by using Page->Add Page to create the proper number of pages, then placing stories in the columns, and linking those columns to additional ones on later pages as necessary. Pages are not automatically generated when text flows out of a column (Autoconnect is off). There's no "easy" way to rearrange pages, but this model doesn't often require it. In the term paper model, you start with one page, and let a lengthening story automatically generate additional pages (Autoconnect is on). If style dictates that page break is required, you simply tag the next paragraph as "Start at Top"; this is probably built into the cataloged tag. In this model, you don't move "pages" around, you move bunches of sentences around (using Cut and Paste), and the pages adjust themselves automatically. Note that in the term paper model you DON'T want to use "Add Page" and you DO want to place any graphics in a anchored frame or table, so they'll move with the text, not stick to the page. Things can get complicated when you want an exception page in the middle of a term paper, such as a rotated page for a landscape formatted graphic. Additional points: - There is NO way to cut/copy and then paste a master page as a unit. - There is NO way to cut/copy and then paste a reference page as a unit. You can only add a new (empty) master/reference page, and then copy and paste objects from the source page. - There is NO way to add a new page (Page:Add Page) and simultaneously specify a desired master page. An added page ALWAYS gets master page "Right" (or "Left" in a 2-sided document as appropriate). If you want to add a page using a different master page you must first add it and then apply the master page using Page:Column Layout. If the desired master page has a different arrangement of text columns you will often end up with "orphan" text columns that you must delete. (Thanks to ?????? and David Cortesi!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 12 Do you know what happens if the spell checker finds "Interleaf" (a competitor to FrameMaker)? Yes, we do, but just in case, it gets posted every 3-4 months. (Thanks to ??????!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 13 How can I control which master page is used when text flows off of the current page? When you push text out of a column with Autoconnect turned on, how does FM choose which master page to use for the new page? The rule is something like this: If the number and type (letter tag) of the autoconnect flows on the current body page exactly match the autoconnect flows on the Right master page, then the Right master page is used. Otherwise, the master page for the current body page is used. The Right master page is kind of the default master page. (Unless it is a double-sided document, in which case there are Left and Right defaults.) For example, if you were typing a memo, you would have (at least) two master pages, one called "First" which contained the big header, and one called "Right" for all of the continuation pages. You cannot get FM to automatically go from one non-Right master to another. For example, assume that a memo has 3 masters: Fax, First, and Right. There is no way to start the document with only the Fax page, and have it automatically change to First, and then to Right. The solution is to create 3 pages, apply the appropriate masters, connect the flows as needed, and make sure that empty pages are not deleted (see Format->Document). Another item to note is that when changing master pages with Page Layout, the same "union" rules apply, as done with "Use Formats." For example, if the body page currently has one column of flow B, and you apply a master page which has one column with flow A, you will wind up with two text columns. You can then copy the text from the old column to the new column (if appropriate), and then delete the old column. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 14 ! How do I convert a Frame document on the Mac to use it on a Sun? (and other platforms) Why do my imported images show up as gray rectangles when I transfer a file from <platform-A> to <platform-B>? The document file is the same on every platform that Frame supports, so there is no conversion. If you're having trouble, make sure that you are transfering in "binary" mode, not text mode, not MacBinary mode. If moving to the Mac, you will have to open FM and then open the file; double-clicking won't work. If the two platforms are running different versions (1.3/2.x/3.x) and you have to convert to an older version, write the file out in MIF format before transferring, and transfer in text mode. Note that imported graphics may not display or print on the new platform; consult FM Reference Manual Appendix on "Using FrameMaker on Multiple Platforms." This occurs becuase the graphics are displayed using features of the operating system (such as QuickDraw routines on the Mac and Postscript on the NeXT) that are not available on every platform. If you "Copy File Into Document" when importing, and set the "Save FrameImage with Imported Graphic" attribute (in File:Preferences), your graphics will be displayed no matter what platform you're on. Although you cannot always import a given graphic format into a given platform's FrameMaker, once that graphic is imported with the FrameImage, its contents are displayable in any platform's FrameMaker. Again, consult the Reference Manual. Note that FrameImages are 72DPI bitmaps, so you can display the image, but you won't necessarily like what you get if you print it. (Thanks to ????!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 15 How do I place an autonumbered figure number in an anchored frame? Why doesn't it update properly? There are three ways to place figure numbers so that they are automatically updated. They each have advantages and disadvantages. Note that you cannot use a "text line" (the A tool) for the figure number, because text lines cannot be autonumbered, since they are not real paragraphs in a text column. -------- A. In-Frame The figure number is containd in a text column which is inside the anchored frame. Advantages: + Can use "floating" figures, because the title is inside the floating frame. Disadvantages: - Text column must be properly placed (see below). - Cannot be used if you want other autonumbered text cols in frame. If you use this method, the text column with the figure number must be the first text column in the drawing order. To ensure this, select the column and do Graphics->Back. -------- B. Out-of-Frame The figure number is outside the frame, usually in the paragrah that contains the anchor. Advantages: + Don't have to worry about text column in frame. + Can have an autonumbered text column in frame. Disadvantages: - Cannot use floating figures. - Hard to place title below frame. (Is there a work-around?) -------- C. Frame in One-cell Table Now that FM3.0 is here, we can place the frame in a table, and use the formating capabilities of tables. Advantages: + Can use all the formatting features of tables: Title above or below Controlled spacing between title and figure Controlled rulling (could use top and bottom rule lines) etc. + Don't have to worry about placement of text column in frame. + Can easily place 2 (or more) figures side-by-side in a column. (If using more than one row, use the Table Format:Basic:Numbering property to set row-first or column-first numbering.) Disadvantages: - Yet another layer of nesting (table contains frame which contains graphic) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 16 How can I get "Page 3 of 152" in the footer to work for a multi-file book? If you place text such as "Page <Current Page #> of <Page Count>" (where <xxx> signifies a variable) in the footer, you will get the expected results for a single-file document, but not for a mutli-file book. The solution is replace the variable <Page Count> with a cross-reference to a paragraph on the last page of the last file in the book. The format of the cross-reference should be <$pagenum>. Make sure that you perform "File Generate/Update Files" from the book before you print, to update all cross-references. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 17 How can I print with the "-h" switch in FM3.0/3.1? In FM2.1, you could place "ps -h" in the Printer Name box in the Print dialog, to get a file printed without a header (Unix or similar systems). In FM3.0, the printer script was changed. To restore this feature, edit $FMHOME/.fminit2.0.ps/FMlpr, and change occurences of "$PRINTER" to $PRINTER in the lpr commands. This allows multiple arguements to be passed to lpr, instead of passing the entire text to the -d or -P switch. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 18 How do I force a page break? Ideally, you would have a unique tag that leads off the text on the new page (e.g., Head1), and you set this paragraph format to Start: Top of Page or Top of Column. However, this is not always appropriate. There are two solutions: A. Create a Paragraph tag called PageBreak, and set its point size to 4.0pt (smallest possible), Space Above to 0, and Space Below to 999pt. The huge space below forces the next paragraph to the top of the page. (Thanks to rgf@concurrent.co.uk!) B. Create a Paragraph tag called PageBreak, and set its Start to Top of Page (or Column). Set the point size to 4.0pt (smallest possible), Space Above to 0, and Space Below to 0. Set the leading to the negative of the point size and the Space Above of the following paragraph. This causes the two paragraphs to overlap. (Thanks to Lester C. Smalley!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 19 How can I specify "DRAFT" in the background when I print? (See also question 4.) Since the "Printer Name" field on the print box is passed to the FMlpr script, it's quite possible to add a little code to this script to accept arguments and invoke a sed script to insert the extra postscript code on the fly. The code is too long to reproduce here, but several users have used this idea with varying levels of complexity. Currently, the code is not available via ftp, so contact one of the authors below, or post a request to the net and some kind soul may send it to you.

Here is a description of what is copied and what actions occur during Use Formats. (This is from the Reference Manual, but I think it bears repeating, since it is not in the on-line help.) P Formats P Catalog All paragraphs are updated with the new formats Footnote properties (where placed, prefix, format, etc.) Equation sizes Document Properties: Allow Line Breaks After Flow Properties: Feather C Formats C Catalog All tagged characters are updated with the new formats Page Layouts Master Pages Background and Column Layout applied to all body pages Change Bar Properties Document Properties: First Page Number and Page Number Style View Options Reference Pages Reference Pages Reference Frames in current doc that are not in source doc are removed! Variable Definitions Variables Cross Reference Formats Cross Reference Formats Updates internal cross-references (x-refs) Table Formats Table Format Catalog Ruling Style Catalog Update all tables Conditional Text Conditional Tags Show/Hide Settings Use Format Overrides Note also that if you are going to apply P Formats, than you should also apply C Formats. Otherwise, text that is tagged with C formats will still be tagged correctly, but will be displayed with the default P format. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 21 How can I automatically import a graphic file whose format is not recognized by FM, if I know how to do the conversion manually. Modify in $FMHOME/.fminit2.0 the files suffixlist and MifRead. You can add any filters you want as long as they return a file in a format directly recognised by frame (mif, rasterfile, xwd...) Warning: if you translate in xwd or raster, frame will give a .rf extension to the resulting file (copied in the calling directory), EVEN if such a file already exists.... You can't import, the first time, by copy, only by reference. (Thanks to Bertrand Decouty!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 22 How do I incorporate code fragments in a Frame doc? There is a filter called prog2mif to handle this. It is available with the other filters (see question 3). (Thanks to Janick Bergeron (janick@bcrkd13.bnr.ca)!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 23 + How can I change the page size of an existing document? Method A -------- To change master page sizes, save the file as a MIF document, and then edit the MIF file -- search-and-replace all instances of 8.5" x 11.0" with the desired measurements. Look for the attribute "PageSize". Save the MIF file, and then open it again in FrameMaker -- you will have to use the Page Layout dialog box to reapply Master Page --> Body Page formats, although perhaps you could use the Use Formats From dialog box, specifying the current document as the template and updating only the Page Layout. Also, after doing this, remember to reformat any tabs at the right end of the template's headers/footers. Thanks to Jonathan B. Horen (horen@rs.com) and Anders Thulin (ath@linkoping.trab.se) ! Method B -------- 1. Make a new document of the right size. 2. Save this document as a new name. 3. Open your old Template. 4. Go to the Master Pages of both documents, For each master page in the old template: - Create or go to that Master Page in the new document, - In the New document, Select all on Page and delete, - In the Old document, Select all on Page and copy, - In the New document, Paste. 5. In the New Document, Select Use Formats from the File menu and bring over everything EXCEPT the Page Layouts. Thanks to Alan S. Koch ask@sei.cmu.edu ! A slightly different method is described in Using FrameMaker, Chapter 14: Specifying Page Layout, Changing a document's page size.

I'd like to keep a local, up-to-date list of available gopher holes without requiring our users to gopher to umn just to scan GopherSpace. Q24: Why doesn't my unix gopher client display ISO-Latin-1 characters ------------------------------------------------------------------- Q0: What is Gopher? A0: The Internet Gopher client/server provides a distributed information delivery system around which a world/campus-wide information system (CWIS) can readily be constructed. While providing a delivery vehicle for local information, Gopher facilitates access to other Gopher and information servers throughout the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Q1: Where can I get Gopher software? A1: via anonymous ftp to boombox.micro.umn.edu. Look in the directory /pub/gopher -------------------------------------------------------------------- Q2: What do I need to access Gopher? A2: You will need a gopher "client" program that runs on your local PC or workstation There are clients for the following systems. The directory following the name is the location of the client on the anonymous ftp site boombox.micro.umn.edu (134.84.132.2) in the directory /pub/gopher. Unix Curses & Emacs : /pub/gopher/Unix/gopher1.03.tar.Z Xwindows : /pub/gopher/Unix/xgopher1.2.tar.Z Macintosh Hypercard : /pub/gopher/Mac_client/ Macintosh Application : /pub/gopher/Macintosh-TurboGopher DOS w/Clarkson Driver : /pub/gopher/PC_client/ NeXTstep : /pub/gopher/NeXT/ VM/CMS : /pub/gopher/Rice_CMS/ or /pub/gopher/Vienna_CMS/ VMS : /pub/gopher/VMS/ OS/2 2.0 : /pub/gopher/os2/ MVS/XA : /pub/gopher/mvs/ Many other clients and servers have been developed by others, the following is an attempt at a comprehensive list. A Macintosh Application, "MacGopher". ftp.cc.utah.edu:/pub/gopher/Macintosh Another Macintosh application, "GopherApp". ftp.bio.indiana.edu:/util/gopher/gopherapp A port of the UNIX curses client for DOS with PC/TCP oac.hsc.uth.tmc.edu:/public/dos/misc/dosgopher.exe A port of the UNIX curses client for PC-NFS bcm.tmc.edu:/nfs/gopher.exe A beta version of the PC Gopher client for Novell's LAN Workplace for DOS lennon.itn.med.umich.edu:/gopher A Xwindows/DECwindows client job.acs.ohio-stat.edu: Most of the above clients can also be fetched via a gopher client itself. Put the following on a gopher server: Type=1 Host=boombox.micro.umn.edu Port=70 Path= Name=Gopher Software Distribution. Or point your gopher client at boombox.micro.umn.edu, port 70 and look in the gopher directory. There are also a number of public telnet login sites available. The University of Minnesota operates one on the machine "consultant.micro.umn.edu" (134.84.132.4) See Q3 for more information about this. It is recommended that you run the client software instead of logging into the public telnet login sites. A client uses the custom features of the local machine (mouse, scroll bars, etc.) A local client is also faster. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Q3: Where are there publicly available logins for Gopher? A3: Here is a short list, use the site closest to you to minimize network lag.

A4: You can do this by running a gopher server. Servers are available for a number of systems. Use anonymous ftp to boombox.micro.umn.edu (134.84.132.2) and look in /pub/gopher. The following servers are available there: Unix : /pub/gopher/Unix/gopherxx.tar.Z VMS : /pub/gopher/VMS/ Macintosh : /pub/gopher/Mac_server/ VM/CMS : /pub/gopher/Rice_CMS/ or /pub/gopher/Vienna_CMS/ MVS : /pub/gopher/mvs/ DOS PC : /pub/gopher/PC_server/ When you have your server ready you can publish it to the world by sending e-mail to the maintainters of the "Other gophers" list:
