CS3 work flow/Word import/Chapter numbering

We routinely produce 200+page documents using MS Word - the format is fairly basic, but each chapter is numbered (e.g., 1. Project Description) and within each chapter, there are usually numbered subheads with descriptive paragraphs (e.g., 1.1 Study Overview, 1.2 Study Characteristics, 1.3 Hazardous Materials). Those are incremented when the chapter increments...if you're in chapter 2, then the subheads become 2.1, 2.2, etc.
The Word document is always sent to me as a single, lengthy, multi-chapter doc. It is ALWAYS subject to change. Formatting it is far easier in InDesign CS3, and with the document-linking feature, if the Word document is changed, then updating is easily accomplished. However, my stumbling block appears to be in the Chapter numbering - InDesign only allows one Chapter number per document. I tried to use Section Numbering, but the Paragraph Style sheet does not allow that (among other things). I hesitate to use the Book feature - there would be a lot of hassle accommodating any and all Word doc changes our professional people make when they revise the content. If I have to use the Book feature, well, OK, but that might mean an even longer time to put these things together. Our people don't really care TOO much what it looks like (I do) as long as it is technically correct, so I have to make sure that it doesn't take longer to format this thing than the way we do it now.
Can someone point me to a white paper or solid tutorial on how this might be accomplished? If there is a good published book on it, please let me know! Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

> Formatting it is far easier in InDesign CS3, and with the document-linking feature, if the Word document is changed, then updating is easily accomplished.
I think this would be the major stumbling block. If you turn on the preference (normally off) to "Create Links when Placing Text Files," then when someone updates the Word file and you in ID update the link to it, all your ID editing and text formatting (including application of your autonumbered paragraph styles) gets wiped out.
So ... don't do that. There are many ways to approach this workflow to smooth it out (save ID formatting for last, after breaking the link; or have Word users apply same-named styles to their Word doc; or have them use InCopy instead of Word); but they may require changes that your colleagues won't accept as necessary (as you mentioned...)

Hard drive file work flow

I have shot a project on 16mm film and am having it transferred to Digibeta and then, since I don't have a Digibeta deck, the transfer house is capturing it to an external hard drive. I should be getting it back in a day or two.
In the past I have only captured projects from miniDV, using Log and Capture, which has resulted in labeled files that represent only the portions of the tapes that I want to use in the edit. I'm wondering if there is an equivalent work flow to import only the portions of the files I will be using from the external hard drive to my internal capture/scratch drive.
The external hard drive will contain about 30 minutes of uncompressed SD video separated into 11 files. I realize I could just duplicate the files and cut each one down to the relevant clip, but I'd rather just have the usable portions on the capture/scratch drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I realize I could just duplicate the files and cut each one down to the relevant clip
Why? Leave the QT files alone and do all the subclipping and work in FCP. Subclip your footage into scenes and put each scene in it's own bin. Put all the master QT files in another bin...then start editing.

Word import - hyperlinks work in one document, not in another

Hi all,
I am aware that much has been written about broken links after importing, but there is a strange pattern to my problem I have not seen before.
I have three language versions of one document (English, French, German). So I set up three independent RoboHelp 8 projects and imported (linked) the corresponding Word documents. English and German are no problem, but in the French project, some (10%) cross-refs are not converted to hyperlinks. The involved titles have no accents, so it is probably not a character set problem. If I update the Word link or force update, it is always exactly the same cross-refs that are not converted correctly.
The cross-refs in Word look like this:
{HYPERLINK \I " title "}
The cross-refs that do convert correctly have the same format, I see no difference between cross-references that work in RH and those that don't.
Any ideas about this?

Sometimes, but it does not seem to affect the function. There are working links with spaces at the end.
On the other hand, there are strange things like this:
I have two chapter titles named "Système de désignation des modules de fonction" and"Système de désignation des connexions".
When I create hyperlinks, then Word inserts these fields:
{HYPERLINK \l " Système de désignation"}
{HYPERLINK \l " Système de désignation "}
-> The titles are cut off in the middle, the text markers differ only by an extra space. These hyperlinks work in Word, but not in RoboHelp.

Page/chapter numbering probs in material converted from Word

Situation: Need to convert ~300 pages (multiple files) of Word into structured Frame. I'm not very familiar with structured Frame (but am working on this), and am a long-time user of nonstructured. Moving Word 2007 files into Frame9 (in TCS2).
Problem: Chapter/page numbering. No matter what I try, including copies of a file that demonstrably works, one copy does not accept the "Continued" settings for page numbering. It resets the TOC to page 1. Copies of that file added to the TOC also reliably reset page numbering to 1. When I go in to see what's going on I find that the Numbering dialog for each problem file shows it mysteriously reset to start page numbering at 1. (These copies are nearly identical, differing only in a numeral in one heading to remind me what chapter each is file supposed to be.)
Further, when I added an autonumbered ChapterTitle paragraph at the top of each file to test chapter numbering, the page numbering problem resolved itself (!) but the chapters don't increment as expected. Numbering string: "C:Chapter <n=1>" for Chpt1 and "C:Chapter <n+>" for the rest of them.
Test setup: Saw this in production files and stepped back to use a simple Word source file as a test. Constructed several Normal paragraphs, a bulleted list, and a numbered list, and two heading levels (Heading1, Heading2) in this file. Saved; closed. Opened the file in Frame (Structured). Created several nearly identical copies and added all to a book file. Added a TOC to the book. Set the numbering: Chpt1 starts Chapter and Page at 1 and all others are set to "Continued" in both categories.
Added the ChapterTitle paragraph to each file after conversion.
In one experiment I applied several of the "target" Frame paragraph formats. Target formats were supplied by writer who works primarily in a structured Frame setup that is similar to the one planned for the converted material. In one file all paragraphs were set to their Frame equivalents. In others there was a mix of original (as brought over from Word) and Frame formats. Made no apparent difference.
Questions: Is this something about structured vs. unstructured? About structured Frame WRT conversion from Word? Either way, has anyone else seen (more to the point, *resolved*) similar?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
Anne

OK--
WRT "<$chapnum>": check, thanks for the reminder. (Yes, I agree that chapter/page numbering tabs are different items.) :-)
To clarify: yes, the idea is a Word > Frame conversion. The process stumbled upon so far starts with opening Word files in unstructured Frame. (I'd never done it, either---never had a need to try. Somebody new to Frame asked if it was possible, so we experimented and voila!) I have recommended dropping files into .mif and then resaving as .fm in order to lose any artifactual Word stuff.
Step 2 is applying appropriate Frame paragraph styles from a supplied list, and creating book files. (The page numbering issue resolved once I added a ChapterHead paragraph. Using the <$chapnum> tag handles the remaining chapter number issue.)
In theory Step 3 will be the move into handling the fully-converted material as structured Frame documents. The key point, though, appears to be the conversion table. I get this from a WritersUSA article by Alan Houser at http://www.writersua.com/articles/frame/index.html:
FrameMaker provides a mechanism called a conversion table to automate much of the task of legacy document conversion. The conversion table maps unstructured FrameMaker paragraph and character formats to elements, and allows you to automatically nest groups of elements. If your legacy documents were created using a style-based authoring tool (typically FrameMaker or Word [!]) and your authors have used those styles consistently, you may be able to automate 80%-90% of the conversion process. If your legacy documents include a significant amount of manual or ad-hoc formatting, the conversion will be substantially more tedious.
Looks like my group will have to create this.
Thanks, all, for the help. :-)

DW CS3 Mac - delayed work-flow

Our office has three Macs running DW CS3; Two Intel Macs and
one G5... When working with files from ANY remote server (and with
any file type) on the Intel Macs the work flow is very sluggish /
delayed (i.e. any action takes about 3-5 seconds to respond). This
issue is not present when reverting to version DW 8. The Mac with
the G5 does not have these issues.
We had a Mac certified technician come out to see what the
issue is. He could find NO hardware/ network problems. He said that
this is an issue that will probably be resolved in Adobe updates to
come...
Can anyone shed light on this issue? I can't understand why
CS2 works fine, but not CS3 which is supposed to be more Intel Mac
friendly.
Thanks - Bob

There is an issue that sounds very familiar to this but it is
closely related to Leopard as opposed to Tiger. Are these newer
Intel Macs running Leopard? If so there are updates planned for
this.
There is also another bug, I would have to check the kb
article again to be sure, but it dealt with a slow load time to
freezes when putting remote image locations in the documents (ie:
when you make an HTML email file). I don't remember whether this
issue was a Leopard issue or it could have been an Intel issue
which could be indirectly related to what you are experiencing.
If workflow is an issue right now I would say for your
business stick with 8 especially if there is not a specific reason
for using CS3 (ie: new feature). Then I would wait until about the
end of the year, early next year when the first wave of updates is
supposed to be released (mostly for those Leopard updates).
BTW, in case you were wondering, you can keep both
installations on there on the Mac because there are 2 separate
preference files in the library so this way you don't have to go
through re-installing again.

Premiere Elements 8: import as numbered stills not working

System is an Alienware M17x running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
I have a folder (tried this on multiple folders, actually) that only contains a series of PNG files, named Frame0000.png, Frame0001.png, and so on. When I follow the help instructions and import the first image in the sequence, and check the import as numbered stills box, PE8 still only imports the first image. I've tried this on multiple sequences, including BMP and JPG files to see if it was a PNG problem, and none of them work. The only way thus far I've found to import the whole sequence is to group-select them all manually and trust the time stamp sorting to keep them in order.
Is this a bug in PE8? Is there something missing in the process instructions that I'm not doing?
Thanks in advance.

If, when you browse to the files, you hold down the Shift key and select the first and last in the series, Premiere Elements will import the entire set into your project at once. Since you have the sequence named numerically in the order you'd liked them to appear, they will appear in that order in the Project media panel.
Is this not what you're seeing?

DVD pro work flow/ main video reading chapter markers

I figured out how the work flow work and how to get chapters and all that. However now my main video is reading the chapters and is stopping on one of the chapter makers. Can anyone give me an Idea what I should do now?

Check that chapter marker for end jump actions... if there are none set (and never were any) then delete the marker and add it again in a slightly different location. Check playback - if it is OK, nudge the new marker back to the correct location and check again...
If there are any end jump actions, remove them!

IDCS3 TOC want chapter numbers in book TOC

Hi - I'm brand new to this forum so please bear with me . . .
I'm working on a long manual. Each chapter has a TOC, which I've been able to format the way I want it (e.g., Overview . . . . 5-2).
In the TOC for the book, I can't figure out how to include the chapter number. I've read everything I can find about the subject but after spending hours I'm giving up. I've checked the Include Prefix when Number Pages check box for each chapter.
I've tried lots of things in the Between Entry and Number menu. There's no character symbol for chapter number and I've tried copying and pasting it in. That hasn't worked either.
I'm almost ready to resort to copying and pasting in the TOC from each chapter - there are 17. Yikes!
All advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sonya (fed up ID CS3 user in VA)

Hi Sonia,
You can directly use position() instead of storing in variables (Refer Template Builder for Word - TOC marker in foreach loop for an example).
But if you want to you variables for some other reasons, then use xsl context specific variables.
Instead of <?position()?>: <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,’H1’, position())?> use
*<?variable@incontext:c1;position()?>*
and instead of <?XDOXSLT:GET_VARIABLE($_XDOCTX,’H1’)?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL: .... use
*<?$c1?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL: (formatted as Heading1).*
So on the whole it wold be similar to
<?for-each:group_name?>
<?variable@incontext:c1;position()?>
<?$c1?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL:
Chapter contents
<?end for-each?>
Now update your TOC (right click -> update field).
Now you should be able to see the chapter numbers both in TOC and report body.
Hope this helps.

Work flow in iLife

Hey kids,
I have A BUNCH of video that I need to boil down in to multiple DVDs with multiple chapters per DVD (about 8 hours). Is there a description of a good work flow from iMove to iDVD described anywhere,....Do i need to export each "chapter" as a movie and then import them into iDVD in order to maintain a chapter structure?. If so what is the best way to do this,...HELP , PLEASE!!

That's a lot of video! In general, the workflow I prefer is doing editing in iMovie, quitting, then open iDVD and import the video. iDVD has 3 options for converting video into the correct format for DVDs, and you set this in Preferences (up to 60 min=Best Performance; up to 120 min=Best Quality; the Pro setting takes longer, but does a better job with the more highly compressed 2hr video). With so much video, it might make sense to divide your footage by 110 minute blocks (there needs to be room for a few other files so you can't fit a full 120 minutes of video on a single layer DVD).
That's a high level overview; Klaus' links will give you more details; the "Missing Manual" and other books will provide lots more detail; and the forum here is good for questions.

Chapter numbering - how to get rid of it

Is there an easy way to suppress the chapter numbering of
imported topics? I cannot imagine that the majority of help authors
want topics that are imported from Word documents to maintain the
chapter numbers.
I noticed these numbers are always included in a specific
way. The corresponding lines begin with
<h1>1.<span..> </span>
, i.e., two non-breaking spaces in the span. That means it would
probably be possible to use an advanced search & replace tool
to remove the numbering, not a very nice workflow though. Are you
awaye of any other method?

This sounds like a style mapping issue. You could start by
reading
this
link on Peter Grainge's site that links to other topics
depending on which RH version you are using.

Splitting files with Word import

Hi
I am using Robohelp 7 (from tech comms suite). I'm importing
a word document containing a lot of sections, each beginning with a
Heading 1 style heading. I was expecting the import to split each
of the sections into a separate HTML file. But it doesn't - it
splits them all into separate topics (so TOC is absolutely
correct), but only 2 or 3 of them are in separate HTML files in the
resulting project. Is these some special formatting I need to
include in the Word document to get them all to split into separate
HTML files?
(looks a bit naff to have some topics as very long files
containing multiple topics).
Thanks!
Jim

Hey I know this topic seem to have died a few month ago, but
I have had the same problem and it seems many others have as well.
I seemed to have found a solution, at least for my situation.
THE PROBLEM: The problem seems to be unique with RH7 since i
did not have this issue in RH5, but the root seems to be with the
way word handles styles. For things like paragraph styles you can
click on on a paragraph(not highlight) and apply the style. This
works in word but this causes problems with Robo Help. so if you
apply a paragraph style w/o highlighting then apply a character
empahsis style on a word...you would notice in RH5 that the
paragraph would be highlighted from that word on. Somehow in RH7
this issue now also causes problems with creating topics and not
just with in topic formatting.
THE SOLUTION: This solution is time consuming, but you will
have to go back and reapply your styles to your document. The best
way to do this is to select a group of text you will format such as
a body paragraph or a heading and CLEAR FORMATING. Sometimes you
will not be able to clear format...if this happens you probably do
not have the entire paragraph highlighted (this is a likely culprit
of the problem). When re-applying the styles make sure to apply
styles in the following order to prevent issues.
1. Apply Body or Paragraph styles.
2. Apply numbering or bulletings styles.
3. Apply character Emphasis Styles.
Remember you must clear the formatting before you re-apply or
the issue will not resolve.Since this can be time consuming I
suggest trying this on a few heading first starting from the top of
the document just to make sure this works for you.

[CS4] Word Import severely broken/Interim Solution

As I said before on this topic,
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
The Word import has gone from already rather bad to worse with one of the upgrade patches. ...
-- read this for the symptoms.
I finally found a work-around. Strangely enough it was one that has been rattling in my head for a while, but I can't for the life of me remember where I got that idea!
The problem lies in Word's Bookmarks. These are not recognized by InDesign CS4/CS5 Import filter (but they are by CS3 and earlier!) and thus each one of them creates a mis-match in the following text, accumulating up to the end of each paragraph (or possibly the next one, it's too idiotic to check for those fine details). Only at the very end of the document, ID suddenly realizes it has a few text fragments left over, and decides to tack them on to the end.
With results like this:
and yes, these text fragments belong somewhere in the middle of the document! Even worse, here you can see it's text that's been displaced, but it also happens with pure text formatting. Bye-bye smooth text import, hello Mr. Angry Client!
I reported this issue to Adobe "Support" (hum hum), complete with test documents, and got the quite unexpected answer that it was unrealistic to expect "perfect import" because, well, my page size was different in InDesign, my margins were different, the paragraph spacing doesn't work the same as in Word ... so it was no wonder the text was "not the same after importing".
Ahhhh ... now I got that out of my system: the solution is to remove all Bookmarks in the Word file prior to importing. For Windows, you can make a small VB Macro:
Sub KillBookmark()
    While ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count > 0
        ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(1).Delete
    Wend
End Sub
but for OS X you have to take the manual route: go to menu Insert, select "Bookmark", point to one, select "Delete". Repeat until bored to death.
Now that I have done the work Adobe programmers should have done (that is, finding out what the d*** problem actually was) and present them with a Ready-to-Implement Solution (revise the code that handles bookmarks): WHEN WILL THEY FIX IT!?!?
Please don't say "CS6". I'm still on CS4, and since it got broken in that version, I must insist on a fix for CS4.

[Jongware] wrote:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Just where did you send the report and test files? There's no way to attach files to the bug report form, so were you talking to some contract script-reading idiot who passes himself off for tech support these days, or did one of the engineering team actually get back to you and ask for the files? I suspect not the latter, and I can offer some suggestions for whom to email. In fact, I think I may put a bug in someone's ear now.
Customer support, by e-mail. They *did* ask for files and I sent a whole bunch of them, original Word files, ID files to show how they got imported, and even separate screen shots of the problem pages with circles highlighting the broken parts.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
As far as getting a patch for CS4, it's always nice to see a romantic dreamer.
But Adobe broke it in CS4. I noticed it, working with CS4. I complained about it after noticing it in CS4, and I filed a customer support case (w/due documentation) for my version: CS4. It's Adobe's own fault, as they have such a bad customer support service that it cannot readily respond to complaints about the current version!
Sorry Peter, this has been discussed before extensively, and Adobe never looked into it before. Remember me asking if this was ever solved in CS5?
If you haven't escalated your case with customer support to a manager and then that manager's highest-level manager, like the DIRECTOR of customer support, that's a good thing to put into action. From there, insist that the case goes to the highest-level manager or DIRECTOR of technical support, so you can register it as a bug that will get attention, and at no charge to you for the tech-support call.
Allt this might just be a way to put makeup on an ugly and unchangeable situation, but, since you've already invested so much effort, why not give it one more try by depositing your investment on the highest-level person's desk?

[CS4] Word Import severely broken

(Not a question, rather an observation...)
The Word import has gone from already rather bad to worse with one of the upgrade patches. Two major nuisances that don't seem to have been present from the initial version (based on "we'd surely have noticed this earlier"; they also are definitely not present in CS3!):
Random paragraphs are cut off at the end, continuing on the same line with the next paragraph. The cut-off part appears at the very end of the imported text -- including its hard return. So when I see some stray words at the end I know I have to scan the entire document by eye to find where they came from. Entirely random -- reading a same file twice, or on a different computer or platform, will have the same error but on a different place.
Importing a Word document no longer reads text point size correctly. Sometimes entire paragraphs are in the wrong point size -- at random, not simply using the wrong style or something like that. This is extremely bad, as my firm relies on point size for proper automated formatting.
Rather random -- some paragraphs will be wrong on other computers, some are wrong at random.
This is not limited to one platform; all our computers, Mac and Windows, Leopard, Snow Leopard as well as XP (SP3) will all import a certain file with these errors. Of course all systems are fully patched up to 6.0.4.
It's also not limited to .doc files. Saving the file as .rtf has the exact same symptoms: in Word, all is fine & dandy, in CS4 the text and formatting gets garbled.
A working kludge is to import suspicious documents into CS3, save, open in CS4 and go from there. Hardly a solution.

[Jongware] wrote:
I found that a troublesome document keeps being troublesome ... saved as .doc, rtf, or docx. At any time, something or the other goes wrong with the very same document: cut off bits and pieces of text, footnotes that go haywire, formatting out of whack, text cut off immediately following a table ... And so on. So as soon as I see it happen on a particular doc, I import it into CS3, save, open that in CS4 and copy the text out of it. No problem anymore.
I filed a bug report to Adobe Tech services. Sent one of my Word docs with it, along with a CS4 file showing the problem of bits of text coming in at the end. They went over those files for a week and reported back "The change in text runs is because (a) the page size and margins of your Word file do not match that of your InDesign file, and (b) because of different layout and formatting options, the text may not run the same even if so." That made me laugh. Until I cried.
Thanks for the CS3 solution.
The mismatched margins issue sounds bogus to me. If stuff shows up at the end of file, out of sequence, it's most likely because the particular version of Word in which the original file was created got confused about managing incremental edits, and the file was "fast saved," which keeps the file content and changes in chronological order of creation, and uses pointers to mark what's added and what's to be deleted or ignored. Some versions of Word were so bad at this that even Word itself couldn't interpret the mishmash when opening a fast-saved file of its own.
A good practice that I don't recall seeing mentioned on these forums is, if possible, to make sure to save the Word file to a new name in Word, before converting or placing it in InDesign. Just as InDesign does, saving to a new name reorders the file content and cleans out the spaghetti pointers. I believe that InDesign's spaghetti doesn't go bad so often as Word's, but it's always a good idea to save to a new name periodically. It's possible that some problems that affect exchanging INX files are related to the reliance on pointers to keep a file in order.

Anybody got a better work flow for backing up multiple shoot day projects?

Many of my projects are shot over multiple days. I import media at the end of each day and back up the event to another drive before deleting media from cameras/cards. So on day 2 I have one of three work flows for updating my back-ups.
1. If I'm feeling lucky. I delete the previous back-up project from the back-up drive. And then make a new copy of the original event and add the date to the title after the word copy.
2. I make a new copy of the event to the backup drive and date it. When it's done copying and been verified I delete the back-up event from the same back-up drive.
3. I've just started copying new clips from the original media folder in the original event to the back-up project. It's more work keeping track of all the newly added media files and there is more chance of making an ommision.
Anybody got a better work flow for backing up multiple shoot day projects?

What you need:
You will need two identical external drives and a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner. CCC is free. The drives could be USB 2 if all you are doing is backing up. If you plan on editing with the drive(s), you'll want firewire. Each needs to be large enough to contain the raw card contents for the duration of your gig.
The Process:
At the end of the first day's recording, connect the two drives to your computer (if firewire, daisy chain them / if USB, you'll need two USB 2.0 ports)
On the first hard drive (Drive 1) create a folder - call it BigDealLecture
Inside of BigDealLecture, create a folder and use the nameing convention "BDL_Date_card number for that day" - so if you used 2 cards today, you should create BDL_2012-02-15_01 and BDL_2012-02-15_02
Attach your card reader or camera to the system.
Lock the cards so they can not be erased
Insert Card 1 into the reader
Select ALL contents of the card and copy them to the folder you created for the first card for today
When it is complete, eject the card, insert card 2, copy its contents to the folder for card 2
eject the card
Launch CCC and do a clone of Drive 1 to Drive 2. You can set it to do a complete block by block clone or an incremental backup. Either will work.
When finished cloning, test a random sample of the clips on both drives to make sure they work.
When satisfied the copies work, put Drive 2 in the hotel safe.
Put the Drive 1 in a place where you can grab it if there is an emergency in the night and erase the cards to get ready for the next day.
Take Drive 1 with you to the lecture site the next day.
Rinse and repeat daily.
When the conference is over, send one of the drives via FedEx or some other same day service to your office. Pack the second drive in your bags for the trip home.
A note: If you have enough downtime durning the conference between obligations, you can do the transfer from the cards to Drive 1 on site and do the clone when you get back to your room. Don't unlock and erase the cards until you are satisfied the copy/clone process was without incident.
Have fun.

Importing chapter markers from Final Cut Pro

I usually set up my chapter markers and screen shots in FCP.
If I share this to QuickTime or iTunes library, the chapter markers are present and work well.
This was not always the case but since the latest update of FCP it works like a charm.
However if I export it to COMPRESSOR (because it works faster) the markers are lost.
I have successfully set channel markers in COMPRESSOR and that works, but my work flow seems to make more sense to set up the channels in FCP. (this is mostly because I often decide to do an edit change when I think about the marker...)
COMPRESSOR gives me the option to load markers, but I don't know how to get them out of FCP.
So...
What do I need to do to export markers from FCP so they can be imported to COMPRESSOR.
(before you ask, both FCP and COMPRESSOR are the latest post-Christmas, vastly improved versions.
Thanks.
