FrameMaker 11 (automatically?) creating new paragraph tags

I've just upgraded from FM 9 to FM 11, and I'm getting some unexpected behavior. For example, when I set a manual page break for a heading, FM is creating and applying a new para style to my heading - e.g. with my "Title2" heading, if I use Special > Page break --> At Top of Next Available page, FM sometimes pushes the Title2 heading to the next page, and renames it to "Title21". On a similar note, I've got an FM file in which the main body text is para style "normal", but for some reason, now that I've opened it in FM11, a lot of the paragraphs have been set to "normal1", which is not a para style that existed before, FM has created it. Has anyone encountered this sort of behavior, or does anyone know hwo to fix it?
Thanks,
Jim

You can get older FMs to do that as well, using:
File > Utilities > Create and Apply Formats
Every unique combination of overrides (which is what Page Break does) results in a unique new para fmt in CAF.
Is there anything in your workflow that is triggering a CAF?
Is this a structured document by any chance?

Not able to create new paragraph format for copied layout of WESCHEINVERS3

hi all,
Iam facing one of the pecular problem I copied WESCHEINVERS3 into Zlayout from client 000.
when i tried to create new paragraph format I found the create element greyed out I have never seen this issue earlier.
May I know why the menu path paragraph->EDIT->create element is greyed out.
thanks

Hi,
U can create new paragraph formats, windows, character formats etc., only in original language of the FORM.. I guess u were trying to create a new paragraph format in 'EN' but the original language of form 'WESCHEINVERS3' is 'DE', so u can create the new paragaraph format in the copied Z form only in DE language.
Try to open the Z FORM in DE and create the Paragraph format...
Hope it helps!!

Automatically create new slide after pasting large block of text?

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to have Keynote automatically create new slides if I paste text that doesn't fit into a single slide? The biggest time waster I've encountered is the apparent requirement to break up large chunks of text manually.
If Keynote does not do this, any ideas as to an Applescript or something that could help?
Much appreciated

I usually try dragging from the bottom up in Web pages, it can be tricky getting at the part you want without the extraneous formatting, since that is concealed from you and web designers use many different methods for layout.
That's why pasting into a plain text document is a good idea to shake off the web formatting, otherwise you are groping around whatever Pages has interpreted the formatting to mean. Even browsers don't get this all right.
If the original was formatted as a table which won't fit one of the cells on a Pages page, it just pops and won't continue because Pages does not allow breaks in mid cell. If the cells are small enough to fit and you have pasted the table inline in the main text body of a WP file (between the margins) it will flow.

When capturing footage is there a way to automatically create new clips...

When capturing footage in Final Cut Pro is there a way to automatically create new clips like it does in iMovie. I have to capture over 9 hours of footage and I dont want to spend the time logging each clip. I also dont want to just capture the whole tape then go back and log each clip. I really like how iMovie automatically creates a new clip each time the rec/pause button was pushed. is there anyway I can get Final Cut to do this??????

You can capture the complete clip and then apply Mark > DV Start/Stop Detect over the captured clip. You could get the best of two worlds so: smooth capture and clips creation.

Make new paragraph tag available in all documents in a book

I'm very new to FM10, so please excuse my ignorance.
All I want to do is make a custom paragraph available in all the chapters
of my book. I created a variation of Heading2 (and gave it the paragraph tag
of H2), in one chapter and use it extensively there.
I checked the "add to catalog" box when I created it, but when I'm working on
the other documents (chapters) in the book, H2 doesn't show up in the
paragraph catalog .
After failing to make "import format" work, I even tried to re-create the same H2
paragraph from scratch in one of the the other chapters.
But to add insult to injury, after typing in all the custom H2 characteristics in that
other chapter, and attempting to put in the catalog (which was not showing
an H2 in that chapter), FM told me that it couldn't do it because there was already
a paragraph tag of that name in the catalog.
At that point I decided to throw myself on the mercy of the forum.
Cheers,
JP

JP,
Open the file in which you created the H2 tag. In the book file, select all. Then with the book file selected, select File > Import > Formats. In the dialog, deselect all and then select paragraph formats. From the dropdown at the top, select the open file. Click OK, or whatever. This copies all the paragraph formats from the open file into all the selected files of the book. IF an H2 tag already exists in any of the files in the book, it is overwritten. No tags NOT in the open file are deleted.
After failing to make "import format" work, I even tried to re-create the same H2
paragraph from scratch in one of the the other chapters.
But to add insult to injury, after typing in all the custom H2 characteristics in that
other chapter, and attempting to put in the catalog (which was not showing
an H2 in that chapter), FM told me that it couldn't do it because there was already
a paragraph tag of that name in the catalog.
The second paragraph implies that the import format DID work. What do you mean by failing to make import format work?

Is it possible to automatically create new folder for each project?

Hi! Here´s another (maybe stupid) question:
I wonder if it's possible for Premiere to also automatically create a new folder on the harddrive when a new project is created. This to get all material, preview files etc for each project in a separate folder.
It´s easy to forget to manually do this and I tend to end up with many projects and files in the same folder. Makes it hard when I want to "clean house" and delete some stuff and backup other.
Thank's for any help with this!

Everyone develops their own method of project organization,
but this has worked for me through several versions of Premiere.
I keep a 'Project Template' folder that contains all of the sub-directories
that I will normally need for each job... Media, Approvals, Documents, Audio,
Rendered Image Sequences, Still Images, Finals etc.
This 'Project Template' folder also contains a template Premiere project that is
pre-set with the interface settings, column layout and project folders I will always use...
Audio (vo, music, sfx), Graphics (sequences, stills, titles, slates),
Cuts (approval versions, finals, and broadcast distribution finals).
When I start a new project I simply duplicate the entire 'Project Template' folder along
with all of its contents, then rename the folder and Premiere project to suit the current job.

Automatically Created New Playlist & Lost Album Covers

I just plugged in my new Nano last night and immediately had issues. After I updated the software, it immediately started syncing everything, even the unchecked titles. Okay. I fixed that.
Everything was looking good, the coverflow was working beautifully, but I noticed that none of my previously created ITunes' playlists had synced.
It had automatically created a new playlist with, I believe, all the music in my library, but none of my previously created playlists showed up anywhere. So, I removed this big playlist and synced again. This caused all the music dissappear from my IPod. So, I reset everything and started over again.
It once again created that new big playlist, but this time, all the album cover artwork has dissappeared. I can still see the cover artwork in my ITunes, but it is not displayed on my IPod.
Someone told me that it might be an issue with the fact that both my old and new IPod's have the same name. If this is correct, how do I change my new IPod's name. It automatically chose its own name.
Help!

Sounds like your iTunes library is larger than the iPOd can hold. When this happens, iTunes will create a playlist which fits.Do this...
Select the iPod.
Click the Music tab.
Tick *Sync music*.
Choose *Selected playlists* in the drop down and pick which playlists you want then click Apply.
To change the iPod name, slect it in iTunes, then click on it's name, like a slow double click.

New header creating new paragraph

Whenever I make the second page of a document have a new header (relative to the first page of the document), a new paragraph break gets inserted between the first and second pages. This will be in the middle of sentence. I have no idea what's causing it.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Pages Version: 5.5.1
OSX Yosemite Version: 10.10.1
Doubt this is pertinent, but for specificity's sake:
MacBook Pro (Retina,13-inch, Late 2013)
Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

To get a new Header in the second page you will have had to have a Section Break, a Section Break is the same as a return as far as the text is concerned.

Automatically create new Excel file from template using data from a selected row in a separate Excel file

I am fairly new to Macro and VBA in Excel. I am trying to reduce the amount of work involved in a task that is performed often in our office. Currently, the task involves using 2 separate Excel files. One file is a tracking sheet and the second is the document
that gets sent out to the client. The second document has all the same information that is inserted into the tracking sheet. What I would like to do is have the information that is in one row on the tracking sheet populate into a new excel file that is created
automatically from an existing template.
I have been able to make this partially work. What I have been able to achieve is have the cell that is selected in the tracking sheet (the description field) copy into the new file that is created from the template that is on our server.
Sub NewRFI()
' NewRFI Macro
MsgBox Selection.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add Template:= _
"template file path goes here"
Range("C14").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Range("C14").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
What I need to do is get the rest of the information from that same row in the tracking sheet to copy to the new file as well. The other information includes the document number (one cell to the left of the selected cell), who it is from (one cell to the
right of the selected cell), and the date (two cells to the right of the selected cell). As stated, this information is all in the same row on the tracking sheet. Each piece of information needs to be copied to a certain cell in the new file and I do not want
the source formatting to be copied to the new file.
Ideally, I would like it to operate like so: select the first cell in the row (in this case would be the document number field). Then click a button to run the macro that will then copy the information from that row in the tracking sheet to specific cells
in the new file that is created from the template.
This process will save us from having to either manually copy and paste the information into the new file or re-type the same information that is already in the tracking sheet.
This is probably a simple thing to do but it would be great if anybody had some insight on this issue. Thanks in advance!

Try code like the following. You will have to change the target cells (D25, F1 and H4) to the ones you want, I just used some arbitrary cells as example.
Sub NewRFI()
Dim rngCell As Range
Set rngCell = ActiveCell
MsgBox Selection.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Workbooks.Add Template:="template file path goes here"
Range("C14").Value = rngCell.Value
' Change the target cells as needed
Range("D25").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
Range("F1").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
Range("H4").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, 2).Value
End Sub

Can FrameMaker Automatically create a List of Effective Pages and Track Revision Number?

I see that FrameMaker will provide vertical lines automatically in updated content when set up to track changes. It also will create TOC's and Indexes.
What I need is a way to also work with a List of Effective pages and Page Revision Numbers. I have been researching different programs for maintaining aviation manuals and this is a key area that I need to work out.
Any thoughts on this subject would be appreciated.
Thanks

ISSUE: InDesign document automatically creating "imported" paragraph styles when you open the Layout.

Hi
I have an InDesign layout that contains multiple boxes, which all have style sheets applied to them.
There are a lot of unused styles on this layout too so these have been organised into folders.
When I close it and re-open the document, it creates all of the styles on the document again at the root level (not in the folder). However, it does not create them correctly, it simply makes them 14pt Times New Roman....
These styles look like they have been imported from Word (they have the little Floppy Disk icon next to their names). If you delete these and then save and re-open, they will be back there again.
However, if I remove them from their folders and place them at the root level, upon saving and re-opening, they won't be re-created (assumably because it can't due to a name conflict).
Any idea what would be causing it to want to create those styles every time?
The styles it has created:
Cheers

I was just using that as a way of describing the link it seems to have.

System automatically creating new PI

I have updated a condition in the Purchase
info record and with a start date of 01.01.2011 and a end date of
31.3.2011. However the system automatically then updates for a start
date of 01.04.2011 with a wrong price against it.
Error Messages: automatic new valid date of 01.04.2011 and end date of
31.12.9999. Also price is wrong.

if your initial price had a validity from e.g. 01.01.2000 to 31.12.9999
and you enter a new price which is only valid from 01.01.2011 to 01.04.2011 then the old condition is split and will start again after your new condition validity has ended. This is SAP standard design.
So either you enter your new condition with a validity end date of 31.12.9999
or you change the validity end date of the old condition to a day earlier than the new condtions starts.

"Refine Edge" now automatically creates new layer... why?

For some reason, every time I use the "Refine Edge" option after making a selection, then hit "OK", Photoshop creates a new layer with a mask on it, instead of simple leaving the selection outline there and letting me decide what to do with it (which was the previous behavior).
I've no idea if this is new default behavior or if I triggered an option somewhere that I shouldn't have.
How do I make "Refine Edge" NOT create a new layer or anything like that?

In the Refine Edge dialog, there is a drop-down menu allowing you to do a number of things, including making a new layer with mask. Choose something else.

Image Preview Export automatically creates new "images" folder?

Whenever I create an image within Fireworks CS4, I do so by following this procedure:
Image Preview > Export (and then select either .jpg or .gif).
If I want to place the image (to be named filename.jpg) within the following local directory:
My Documents/Projects/acme/images/
...it will instead place it here:
My Documents/Projects/acme/images/images/filename.jpg
Why does it add an additional images folder?
Many thanks for your help in this matter?

Hi Kevin,
In the window that pops up after you click the Export button, check for the following:
Does the File name field have the correct jpeg/gif extension?
Does the Export field have Images Only option set?
Most importantly: is the Put Images in Subfolder checkbox checked or unchecked?
One possibility is that HTML & Images is set for the export type, in which case the Put Images in Subfolder checkbox might be checked by default.

Why can't I create a new character tag in the designer?

I'm trying to create a new character tag in the designer but when I click the down arrow next to Commands, I don't get the COMMAND box that allows me to select New Format. Is this a bug or is there something else I need to do get it to respond? I'm able to add a new paragraph tag with no problem. I exited out of FrameMaker and restarted but that didn't seem to help. Thanks

Sheila,
I'm using Version 9.0p230. Windows OS.
Yes, the COMMANDS pop up does not pop up!
Yes, I rebooted but I had the same problem. I ended up entering a new name directly in the Character tag field from the Designer and was able to create it that way. Thanks
