How can I go back and forth between Word and FrameMaker

I have a client who has all their documentation in FrameMaker, but needs to export to MS Word to distribute files for editing by various parties. Once edited, my client needs to bring the updated text back into Frame, ideally without having to re-format the entire file. It was suggested that RoboHelp 10 might work, but they are using unstructured FrameMaker.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Jeff's recommending the best tool and workflow; I'll happily second that
because it creates a much better audit trail of who wrote what and what
happened to it than Word.
If you have to user Word, export isn't too big a problem, although I'd
strongly recommend MIF2go instead of RoboHelp for this. The problem is
going to be round tripping the comments back in... best you can do is use
Track Changes in Word, get it technically correct, and then copy in Word
and paste as text back into Frame.
It'll be pretty laborious hand work. PDFs and electronic review would be
much easier.

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

    Look at save_absolute_paths_in_playlists in your mpd.conf.

  • Suddenly my entire screen now has little dots on it that flash back and forth between pink and blue. What's up?

    I was online (on Facebook) when suddenly my coputer screen developed these little dots--uniform across it not just in a browser window--and they started flashing back and forth between blue and pink. The computer froze up and I had to reboot. It hasn't gone away and it's terribly annoying. What should I try to do?

    It may be a problem with your video electronics - possibly heat related. Shutdown the PB & leave it overnight. Then startup & see if the dots appear.

  • HP PhotoSmart 6525 Switching Back-and-Forth between Wireless and USB

    Hi,
    I setup my HP PhotoSmart 6525 using the "Wireless with a router" setup instructions (i.e. not Wireless Direct).  I am able to print from my laptop through the wireless network.  I would also like to be able to print from my laptop using the USB connection at times when my laptop is physically sitting next to the printer.  At times when it is not, I want to continue to be able to print wirelessly.
    Is it possible to setup the print drivers on the laptop so that I can easily switch back-and-forth between USB printing and wireless network printing?  I suspect that it may not be possible because the user guide has a section describing how to "Change from a USB connection to a wireless network" that has you click on a menu item called "Convert a USB connected printer to wireless".  There are no instructions for how to convert back to USB.  Moreover, the use of the word "convert" does not make it sound like you can maintain both print methods simultaneously on a single computer.
    Does anyone know whether it can be done, and if so how?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul2
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey Paul2,
    I see you have the HP Photosmart 6525 installed for Wireless printing capacity and would also like to add a USB driver so that it is available for use when near the printer.  Please follow the steps below to add a copy of the printer for USB printing.  The below steps are for Windows 7 and below based computers.  If you have Windows 8, then the steps will be slightly different so let me know.  Please let me know if you have a Mac, because I can provide those steps at that time.
    Press the Start menu of the computer
    Select All Programs
    Open the HP Folder
    Open the folder for the HP Photosmart 6520 series
    Select "Printer Setup and Software"
    Select the option to Add a new printer
    Select the USB option
    Plug the USB cable in when the software requests it and proceed through the install process
    This will leave the Wireless driver support in place and add a second printer under the Devices and Printers window for USB printing.  The USB printer may contain Copy 1 in the name as a differentiation, however the other one should also state Network in the printer name to indicate it is the wireless option.
    I hope this helps,
    Jason

  • How do I switch back and forth between Roku and Verizon FIOS TV?

    I just purchased a Roku 3500R Streaming Stick (HDMI). I set it up with no problem. What I can't figure out is how to switch easily between viewing the Roku and viewing regular TV. The only way I was able to get rid of the Roku screen was to unplug the Roku from the one HDMI connection on my TV, and replace it with the HDMI connection from my set-top box. If I got an HDMI splitter, would there be a way to switch back and forth without unplugging things?
    FYI, my TV is a Sony Model KDL-32S2010. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted!

    Looks like your TV only has 1 HDMI port.
    A splitter won't work. Would need to get an HDMI switch.
    Or just get component cables (will need 4) to run from FIOS box to Component ports (3 video and 2 audio) on the back of your TV.
    Then just use the TV menu to switch back and forth.

  • How do i switch back and forth between vertical and horizontal tab bar?

    my lovely vertical left side tab bar switched suddenly when i clicked something accidentally. i'd like to know how to get it back. i got it back months ago when i also clicked, accidentally, but the "get back" was a surprise, too, since i didn't realize what i'd clicked.

    Hold shift while dragging the tab bar back to where you want it.

  • How can i solve this replication problem between TT and ORACLE

    Hi
    I have an application that using AWT cashgroup implement the replication between TT (7.0.6.7) and ORACLE(10g);
    but i encounter this problem:
    16:16:50.01 Err : REP: 2302682: ABM_BAL_WH:meta.c(4588): TT5259: Failed to store Awt runtime information for datastore /abm_wh/abm_bal_ttdata/abm_bal_wh on Oracle.

    the isolation level of my date store is read-committed ,and the sys.ODBC.INI file is also set Isolation=1(readcommitted mode)
    so ,I still wonder how the error ORA-08177!
    how can i solve this replication problem?
    thank you.

    I suspect this is failing on an UPDATE to the tt_03_reppeers table on Oracle. I would guess the TT repagent has to temporarily use serializable isolation when updating this table. Do you have any other datastores with AWT cachegroups propagating into the same Oracle database? Or can you identify if some other process is preventing the repagent from using serializable isolation? If you google ORA-08177 there seem to be ways out there to narrow down what's causing the contention.

  • How can I get back to syncing my Ipad, and Iphone 4 the old fashion way

    I have installed upgraded itunes, upgraded my Iphone operation system to 5.1,  and installed Icloud.  This is where the problems all began.
    Icloud and I have everything (contacts, calendar  events, photos) so messed up, it would take a Apple Surgeon to fix it all.  Is there a way to start over and go back to syncing my ipad, and iphone with itunes....it was sooooo easy and all units were the same.
    If I connect today, USB to computer and itunes, it will sync however add duplicates everywhere?  I just wanna go home !  Removing Icloud from all three devices, Computer, Ipad 2, and Iphone 4

    Pictures are not stored in iTunes.
    Any pictures taken with the device, like with any other digital camera, are designd to be copied off the device to the computer on a regular basis.  Via iTunes, pictures that the user chooses to have on the device can be synced back.
    As Ralph stated, updating iTunes will not affect the media in the library.  That being said, it has always been very basic to maintain a backup of important files.  If you do not currently have a backup of your important files, I would strongly encourage you to make one. 

  • How can i fix an update issue between iTunes and my iPod Touch

    I've recently found my iPod Touch's cable that plugs into the usb drive of my computer. I Downloaded the latest version of iTunes onto my computer, but my ipod hasnt been updated in a while, and when i plug it in, an error pops up in itunes saying I need to unlock my ipod touch in order to sync it. I cannot do this, because when the ipod is turned on/plugged in the only thing that shows up is the image of the ipod cables usb end with an arrow pointing to the itunes logo. How can i resolve this issue and fix my ipod touch?

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes on its syncing computer.  For recovery mode see:

  • How can I divide my Aperture Library between digital and scanned images?

    I am scanning 20,000 35mm slides to my Aperture Library.  I have started importing them as TIFF files because the resolution of the JPEG files is not as good.  Because of the number and size of the images, I would like to "split" my Aperture Library so that my current digital images are on the iMac HD and the scanned images are on a dedicated external HD.  Is it possible to do this?  If so, how do I set it up?  Will the scanned images be managed or referenced images?

    "Scan" means "digitize".  Once your media is scanned, it is digital.  Your question then becomes "How can I group my scans?" and "Can I store the Originals of the Images based on the scans externally?".
    There are many ways to group Images.  All of them are based on either giving the Images you want to group some unique marker, or using a marker that is already unique to them as a group.  How you do this is up to you.  Options include but are not limited to: put them in Projects and put those Projects in a Folder called "Scans", keyword them on import as "ScannedFrom35mmSlides", name them when scanned with a prefix such as "Scand35mm_", etc.
    Aperture allows you to store the Original of each Image wherever you want.  Storage devices mounted directly to your computer are recommended.  Aperture provides tools to move each Image's Original inside your Library package (the Library package shows in Finder as a single file with the file extension ".aplibrary"), to relocate it outside your Library package at any location you specify, or to relocate files which are currently outside your Library package wherever you want.
    Originals inside your Library are called "managed".  Originals outside your Library are called "referenced".  This is a per-Image setting, though moving these files is almost always done in batch, and most people keep their Library with every Image's Original either managed or referenced.
    Having a "mixed Library", with some Image's Originals managed and others referenced, presents no problems.
    The commands for relocated the Originals of the currently selected Images are on the "File" menu.  Directions on using these commands are in the User Manual here.
    Here is a concise guide to the parts of Aperture.  Should any of the above be confounding, it may help clear things up.
    I suggest determining the naming conventions, storage, and keywording that you are going to use in Aperture before you proceed.  Rigorously building well-designed storage and retrieval structures from the start will make your image database easier to use, and more useful, than making changes ad hoc along the way.
    Fwiw, JPG and TIFF are not differentiated by resolution (which is the pixel dimensions).  TIFF is recommended because by default it is not compressed (no data is lost), and it can use 16-bits of information per pixel (JPG is limited to 8 bpp).  16-bit TIFF is an excellent -- and standard -- file format for high-quality scans.
    Are you really still on 10.6.1?

  • Taking my mail back-and-forth between work and home?

    Which file/folder can I backup to a jump drive so I can have the same mail on my work and home macs?
    Thanks.

    yes, that's correct.
    com.apple.mail.plist does not seem to exist on my mac?
    make sure you are looking in the right place. It's Library/Preferences in your home folder not at the root level of your hard drive.
    If you are using Mail, the file is definitely there.

  • How can i write with double spaces between words ?

    hello everyone,
    i need to write in pages with double spaces between words not between lines ..
    how can i do it and make it default ?
    for now, just write and click space bar twice ..!!!

    Do you really need to do this? It is so ugly and illegible.
    You can use a monospace font or use the auto-complete in Menu > Pages > Preferences to auto-substitute 2 spaces for each one.

  • When i try to purchase an app that is free, i click the install green button and it just goes back to the free button and i can't download it?  it just toggles back and forth between free and install.  Please help.

    When I try to purchase any free app, I try to click the green install button and it toggles between the install and free icons in the app store.  Tried rebooting and also syncing iphone to computer but no luck.  Any suggestions?

    If resetting the iPad doesn't help, try these things.
    Quit the App Store app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to download an app again.
    If that fails, try downloading something in iTunes. There is free content in there so find something that you don't have to pay for and download it. If that works, try the App store again.

  • Can I go back n forth between FCE HD and iMovie?

    Hey all, I'm new to FCE HD and I love love love it. But I still need to use some of my iMovie crutches while getting up to speed. I recently shot a wedding in HDV and pulled all the clips together in FCE HD. Can I move the clips to quicktime and then load them into iMovie HD to do additional effects WITHOUT loosing my high def quality? I'm not so concerned about the audio "becoming one with" the video...
    -james

    I'n no HiDefer , but using the 'Apple Intermediate Codec', which is internally in use for handling HiDef-imports in both apps, should keep the quality lossless ..-
