Adding a new file to a book

FM 8
Just so you know, it's been three years since I used FrameMaker, I'm a journeyman at best. I've checked the help, it's not telling me what I need. I've inherited a project in FM, a book with, so far, 10 chapters, several appendices. I need to add a new chapter. Since it's been awhile, do I need to create the chapter before adding it to the book? Adding a file to the book gives me something FM won't open. If I select File > New > Document, it wants to know what template. I have no clue, it's probably not attached to the project and therefore unavailable. Someone else created the original, I've been hired to do updates. Guess I could copy a file, rename it, repalce the data with the new data, but it seems like that's a tad convoluted. I'd rather do it the easy (preferably correct) way.
Assistence appreciated!
Thanks!

I tried an update and it didn't work. I may have to contact the guy who set it up (he explained some of the workings in the book and the individual files to me). It's set up with a ChapNum variable, so it SHOULD (operative word!) work. But then, he's a guru and did a lot of cool things that leave this journeyman scratching her head.
I knew all this a LOT better three years ago when I was working in FrameMaker! Too many Word docs and help files since then.
Thanks, Arnis!

  • Keywords added to new files....

    I am not sure about the origin of this behaviour but when I open a new file it already has a group of keywords that I have used in the past.
    I am unable to determine where I can turn this behaviour off.
    I generally move the images from flash drive to hard drive then import into Lightroom. However, I think these keywords were originally created in Bridge and at one time I used this list of keywords for a specific group of files.
    Now, I can't turn off this automatic application of keywords.
    Using CS3 and LR2.
    Thank you for any thoughts and info!

    Hi Curt,
    Thank you for your reply. After posting, I searched everywhere for the source of those keywords. I finally found that I had earlier created metadata template in LR...that template was using those keywords.
    As is often the case with me, I was learning LR "on the fly"...just before my daughter's wedding. LR was a lifesaver but, as you can see, I may have forgotten more than I learned.
    In any case, I appreciate your help and maybe this will help someone else. I just had to go into LR and edit that template, along with making some manual keyword adjustments.
    These forums are so helpful, wish I could contribute more...
    Thank you, Curt.

    You want to transfer purchases from the iPod to your iTunes account.
    Connect the device to iTunes but do not sync.
    Select File > Transfer Purchases.
    This will copy the content purchased via iTunes on the iPod to your iTunes account.

  • Folder Actions script no longer runs on new file creation

    Hope this isn't trivial.......first time posting here...hopefully in the right place.I'm not a total Mac OS X newbie...and surely no techie, either. Dabbled a wee bit with Automator and scratchin' my head on this one. Help, please!
    Any idea why folder actions not running when a new file is saved? A simple add-color-label script created in Automator was workin' fine before I did a Snow Leopard-to-Leopard downgrade clean-install & account migration from external HD (TimeMachine) backup. Folder actions are enabled and script runs only if I start it with Automator Runner. Previously, it would label the file as soon as I saved it....now it needs a manual start. Is this default behavior in Leopard? Or am I missing something or doin' something wrong? Or is this a consequence of downgrade? I was sure I had the same script workin ok in my original Leopard install - though possibly un-modified at that time.
    I have no clue why, but the new version I created recently (cpl wks ago?)worked the first time I added a new file but not thereafter...and in that instance it only labelled the file in Finder upon quitting Preview (file is a Grab saved as pdf).
    The reason for the downgrade was compatibility problems with Photoshop CS4 on SL (OS & app all updated yet crashin' at the drop of a hat) - maybe due to lack of RAM? (only 1GB). Saw quite a few posts regarding SL running CS4 problems, so now I'm back to running 10.5.8 ..again.. and PS actually runs smooth like it did before.
    Maybe these console messages are a help......or am I barkin' up the wrong tree?

    Do I need to wipe the drive again and re-install everything?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Apologies if this seems long-winded.

    Folder Actions are set up a bit differently in Leopard (they use an AppleScript wrapper), and several actions have been updated to use new technologies available in Snow Leopard.  Looking at some of your console logs, it looks like some actions or workflows were just copied over from Snow Leopard.  When changing versions like that, you should rebuild the workflows so that they link to the correct actions, and check added actions for any dependencies (an action won't be loaded if it requires resources that are not available).
    Resaving your Folder Action workflow as a Folder Action Plug-in should do the trick.

  • New files not being copied

    I have the following workflow to backup documents to a thumb drive:
    1) Get specified files
    2) Copy Finder items (to thumb drive)
    3) View results
    I originally set this up with about 15 files. Lately, I have added some new files to the first action, but they are never copied. These files are not protected by the File Vault and all disk permissions have been repaired. I cannot figure out why these newer files will not copy.
    Thanks for all your assistance.

    I just put View Results in and figured out the problem. When one of the files was added, the path was empty (I'm not sure how that happened). As a result, all files in the list "below" that file, were not copied. I fixed the path and now it works fine.
    Thanks for your help.

    When I add a folder to the library, does that mean that 'later' when I drop a new file into that folder (already added) it will automatically end up in iTunes? (or do I have to add file/folder to library every time I have a new file??) I'm using XP...

    iTunes does not actively scan the media folders.  If you manually add content to a folder, then you must add that content to iTunes manually via the File > Add File/Folder feature.
    The only folder that gets scanned is the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder.

  • Permissions in a folder are not applied to new files added by users over shared network

    New files added to a shared folder do not inherit the permissions of the folder but rather retain the permissions of the user. Because the purpose of the folder on the network is to allow multiple users access to all the files (read and write), these new files cannot be accessed and editd by others.Is there a way to have the new files automatically inherit the folder permissons? I am aware of the "Apply to enclosed items " drop-down in the Get Info window but this is not practical given the number of new files that are produced and filed.
    THanks,
    JD

    If it's the folder is on the boot drive then the only way to accomplish this is with a combination of groups and ACL's as far as I know. There may be other ways but this is the one I know.
    You say the folder is on the network but is on the boot disk, how are you setting this up and are the users accessing this all from Mac's? And they all have accounts on this Mac?
    In a nutshell you would setup a group that all the users needing to access the folder belong to and then setup the ACL on the fodder so that all member's of that group will have full permission to whatever is in the folder.
    So first in Users&Groups create a group for this and add all the users who need access.
    The do to the folder and change its group to the group you created and change its mode to 775 (or 770 if you don't want anyone else having even read access on the folder)
    Then enter this
    sudo chmod -R +a "GroupNameCreated  allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
    add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit"  folderToChange
    Now the weird thing is if you look at files in the folder they will appear to have the normal Unix mode of 644 but anyone in the group will have read, write and delete permission on the items in the folder.
    I suggest you play with this on a test folder and seeing if it meets your needs before changing the working folder.
    Also this will not change anything already in the folder it only applies to newly created files/folders

  • WISH TO TRANSFER FILES AND ADDRESS BOOK FROM WINDOWS 98PC TO NEW IMAC.

    HOW TO TRANSFER FILES AND ADDRESS BOOK FROM WINDOWS PC 98 TO IMAC .

    For addresses, general answer is to use Export function in your PC program and export in .csv (comma separated value) format. Then open Address Book app on new iMac and choose Import from File menu and locate the file you exported (on USB stick, or by email, for example). Should work! You've heard that before, right?

  • How to poll directory to check whether new file is added in plsql code

    How to poll directory to check whether new file is added in plsql code

    You can simply try opening that file for read in a loop (with some sleep in between). But in some OS (e.g. UNIX) file is accessible even if it is partially written. I suggest creating OK file (empty file with same name and OK as extension) after creating main file. This way PL/SQL code will be polling for OK file which means main file is completed.

  • Selecting "Book" As The New File

    Hi,
    I am starting a new file in InDesign and the options are "Document", "Book", " "Document From Template", and "Library".
    I am interested in writing a book, so naturally I want to click on "Book".  The problem is when I click on "Book" nothing really comes up.  First it asks me to make up a file name (as in saving a copy of a blank file before I begin I guess).  And then, the only thing that happens is a small approx. 3 x 4 inch screen comes up with nothing on it.  On the other hand, when I choose "Document", it first asks me for all the layout specifications and then opens a white page I can start typing on and manipulating how I want.  The problem though is I want to write a book, so I would think that I should obviously be using "Book" and not "Document".   Anyone have any insight on this?
    Thanks,
    Blake

    To InDesign a "Book" is a collection of individual documents that will be assembled into a single publication at output. In your case you might choose to make a book from individual files for each chapter, the front matter, index, etc., but you can do an entire book in a single document file if you prefer.
    Advantages to the "Book" method are ease of organization and smaller chunks to scroll through, the ability to use the same documents in more than one "Book" and safety -- the odds of losing the whole thing are smaller if disaster strikes so you may wind up only remaking a chapter instead of 1000 pages. It is however, also less convenient in many cases, and size and personal taste will be the final determining factors.
    In any  case, you need to start out with a new document at the very beginning. You can add it to a Book later.

  • Adding new files to the existing Keyword Collections

    Hi,
    I have been using Keyword Collections as folders when importing files - not sure if there is a "normal" way of creating folders for clips/audio/other files? 
    Anyway, when I start a project and import a folder with a few files, I create  Keyword Collection. Later on, when I add more files into that folder in Finder and try to import the same folder as keyword collection again, the "new" files will not be assigned with that keyword collection. They're thrown straight into the event and the keyword collection only shows files from the first import.
    In other words, having a Keyword Collection created when importing a folder - is there a way to assign more files to it later on? Sorry if it's a stupid question.
    Thanks,
    Kamil

    YYou can drag them into the keyword collection once you've imported them. Another simple way is to pick up the files in the Finder, use Cmd-tab to switch to FCP, and drag them directly to the collection. The clips will import using your import preference.
