How to copy Frame Above - FrameMaker 10

My apologies if I don't use the correct terminology. I use InDesign, but I need to lightly edit a FrameMaker file that was created in 2003 on a Mac. I'm editing it on a PC because that's the only version available now (FrameMaker 10).
I have been able to figure out how to make any edits needed except one. There is a "graphic" that is used as a section header that I need to replace with a "graphic" from another chapter. I'm calling it a "graphic" because there is clipart plus text that appears as a unit. When I highlight the paragraph above and below this "graphic," copy, and paste it into a new chapter, the "graphic" does not paste. If I select the paragraph below in the PARAGRAPH DESIGNER with the ADVANCED button selected, the FRAME ABOVE PGF button displays a selection named after the "graphic." If I change the selection in the FRAME ABOVE PGF button the "graphic" goes away, so I know that "graphic" is tied to that paragraph. The FRAME ABOVE PGF description I need to use is not available in the chapter I’m editing, so I can't just change that selection.
What I am unable to figure out is how to copy this "graphic" from another chapter and paste it into this chapter. The "graphic" doesn't reside in any of the job folders so it must be imbedded in the FrameMaker file instead of being linked. I am unable to figure out how to find it and place it into the chapter I'm editing. I hope my question is understandable since I really don't know FrameMaker well. Thanks!
Sharon

The graphic used in the frame above/below a paragraph is found on the Reference page(s). If it isn't showing in the chapter that you paste into, then you need to either add this "Reference Frame" to the Reference page of that file (see: Adobe FrameMaker 10 * Use reference frames on reference pages) or import the Reference pages only from the file where it resides to the file that also needs it.
To import the Reference page content, place the focus in the file that needs it and also have the file that contains the reference frame(s) open. Then File > Import > Formats. Select the from file to point to the file that has the required Reference frame(s). Deselect everything except for the Reference Pages and then Import.

    Is there any way we can paste frame in there respective layers?

  • How to set the item property to restrict the user to not to copy from above

    Hi Guru's,
    I have a requirement like, There were two items on the form name email Id, Confirm email Id.
    I have to ristrict the user to not to copy from email Id item.. make him/her to enter the value into confirm email id item field manually.
    How to set the item property to restrict the user to not to copy from above item and paste it in this item.
    Please help.
    Thanks!!

    Just an opinion here, but that is about the dumbest requirement I have ever seen.
    I am always annoyed by web sites that ask me to enter my email twice. I ALWAYS copy the email address from the original entry and paste it into the second one.
    People enter their email addresses so often, it takes a real klutz to not get it right. And what makes you think that if they enter it twice, that they won't enter it wrong both times anyway???

    you must be doing something wrong, the above tutorial is
    correct and it is the
    only way to copy paste frames in flash.
    Make sure your layers are not locked. Locked layers cant be
    copied.

  • How to copy images from another MC in reversed order??

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to AS3 and have been fighting and searching for a solution to this problem for a week now, and I'm VERY close!
    I crated a MC holding of a series of images (about 50) and I jump around in it using plenty AS3 scripts (most of which I don't fully understand yet, but I'm working on that to! )
    I had to find a way to "rewind" (= play backwards) the MC. Since there is a stop(); command in almost every frame, prevFrame does not work and if I put that in a loop, it goes WAY to fast (but worked).. So I could think of only one way...
    Create a new (reverserd) MC with the same image sequence ald reverse it manually and play that one.
    This all works fine (very proud of it ).
    Now my question:
    To get this to work for multiple image sequences, I have to load all images twice (once in MC_1 and again in MC_2 and select them and reverse them).
    Not a big one, unless you want to create MANY of those SWF's...
    Is it possible to load the 50 images of the first MC in reverse into the second MC dynamically? JUST the images, noting else.
    extra info: the MC_2 is already in the lib(empty) and placed on the stage.
    something like:
    var pointer:Number=1;
    for (var:i:Number=50;i>=0;i--) {
    get MC_1.picure(var);
    put it in MC_2.frame(pointer);
    pointer = pointer + 1;
    All help is welcome and please take into account that I have little experience and copy most of my scripting from people like you
    T.I.A.
    Melluw

    I tried your advice (thanks for that)
    The event I already have is the mouse leave
    I //-d out the part I removed (what did work)
    The code I ended up with is:
    function Start() {
    stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, cursorHide);
    function cursorHide(evt:Event):void {
    var currFrame = MC_1.currentFrame;
    if (CCW == true) {  //it is true in this case
      movStart = (50 - currFrame);
    else {
      movStart = currFrame;
    if (movStart>25) {
      MC_1.prevFrame();
    // removed swapChildren(MC_1, MC_2); // This is the part I removed
    // removed MC_2.gotoAndPlay(movStart);
    else {
      MC_1.gotoAndPlay (movStart);
    And if I leave the stage on the part where movStart is indeed >25
    Nothing happens,
    So I guess this is not what you meant
    Subject: Action Script 3 how to copy images from another MC in reversed order??
    I cannot direct you in the loading of the images approach, it will be too complicated, and will probably not work anyways... when you move away from a frame that has dynamic content, you lose the content.  So basically, there is nothing practical in taking that approach.
    I do niot understand what the problem will be with the enterFrame/prevFrame approach. If everything you can do with the mouse is already used (which I doubt) by the first mc, then there is nothing else you can do with this file.  You probably just need to rethink your control scheme.  You should search Google for "AS3 slideshow tutorial", and to lighten up your design, add "XML" in that search.

  • I need to know how to copy pictures to a cd with the captions showing, elements 8 and windows 7

    I need to know how to copy
    pictures to a cd with the captions showing, elements 8, windows 7

    Here are some suggestions.  Perhaps others will have even better ideas.
    1 -- for viewing on a Windows computer,  you can experiment with making a PSE Organizer slide show creation in which you specify to show the captions. Then save the Output of the slide show as a WMV file that the recipient could play on a computer with Windows Media Player.
    If you have a DVD burner on your PC, you can also use that WMV file as input to the Windows 7 DVD Maker program for making a TV playable DVD. And if your recipient(s) who will view on a computer have DVD readers, you could make video DVDs playable on computers or TV DVD players instead of using CDs.
    The limitations of this approach are that this wmv file you create is really a video file so
    -- it advances photo slides at the rate specified when you create the slide show
    -- the choices to save a wmv file are not very high resolution so that recipients who have high resolution monitors will not see the photo images are not getting the benefit of seeing the photos at their best
    -- your recipients can't print from this video slide show
    2 An entirely different approach is to
    -- For each individual photo, make a copy of the photo file and depending on how high resolution your originals you might want to resize down to monitor viewing sizes.
    -- Then use the PSE Editor Text Tool to place the caption on a layer above the photo. (I think that you could display the existing caption and then do a copy and paste so that you don't need to retype everything.)
    -- You should save this photo copy with the text as a uniquely named JPEG file. Use the file names to control the sequence in which you want the viewer to see the photos.  (Don't save as a PSD because others probably can't read the PSD format).
    -- Then use your computers CD burning software to burn a folder containing all those jpeg files with the captions to CD
    This approach is a bit of work for each photo and you did not say how many photo files you will be doing. However,
    -- computer users should be able to display  the jpegs as high resolution photos on their computer as well as optionally print from those photo files
    -- many TV DVD players can play (display) jpg files from a CD disc which also gives recipients the opportunity to view the photos on their larger TV screen
    Process 2 may seem complicated but once you get started I think it will be more of a production line.
    ADDITION
    Do you have any portrait orientation photos included with those you wish to send ? If yes, we might need to discuss some additional processing for them.

  • How to copy playlists form ipod classic into iTunes 12

    I need help transferring my playlist into my iTunes 12 library. My computer crashed and I was only able to get my music library re-installed in  iTunes but my playlists did not show up. Does anybody know how to copy playlists from my I-pod classic into the iTunes 12 .

    I have two scripts for recovering data from devices; ImportDevicePlaylists to import the playlists, and SyncStats to import the ratings and play/skip counts/dates.
    The user tip Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device has more information on recovering content from devices, but if you have all of the media then the scripts above will probably cover everything that else than can usefully be recovered, though you should still backup and then restore iOS devices.
    See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy to ensure you have a full backup of your library in future.

  • Copy text from FrameMaker 11 to another editor

    It appears that one cannot copy text in FrameMaker 11 and paste it into another editor such as Notepad++ or MS Word. It is as though FrameMaker does not use the Windows clipboard. We observe this behavior with WYSIWYG View and Author View. On the other hand, we can copy text from the XML View and paste into these other editors with no problem.
    This issue seems to have been introduced with FrameMaker 11, as we can copy and paste the identical text from FrameMaker 10. As another data point, unstructured FrameMaker 11 also allows copy and paste to an external editor.
    Can anyone provide insight into why this behavior occurs and how we might modify it?
    Thank you,

    Hi Russ,
    I tried your suggestion and saw no difference between the keyboard shortcut and the menu command. However, your question about there being anything unusual in our files led me to think about what might be different. The difference is that we use DITA-FMx. I converted back to native FM DITA and the anomaly disappeared.
    I'll contact Scott Prentice directly about this issue to minimize traffic on this forum.

  • How to Copy and Paste a table in InDesignServer CS3?

    Hi:
    How to copy or move table from one textframe to another in
    InDesignServer CS3?Thanks in advance.

    Shane has the right idea, but it's actually a character that holds a table. For example, with two text frames labeled "Source" and "Target", this:
    mySource = app.documents[0].textFrames.item("Source");
    myTarget = app.documents[0].textFrames.item("Target");
    mySource.insertionPoints[0].move(LocationOptions.before, myTarget.insertionPoints[0]);
    runs but does nothing, while this:
    mySource = app.documents[0].textFrames.item("Source");
    myTarget = app.documents[0].textFrames.item("Target");
    mySource.characters[0].move(LocationOptions.before, myTarget.insertionPoints[0]);
    moves the table I had put right at the start of the source frame.

    How to copy slide show from adobe photoshop elements 10 onto sd card for picture frame

      Do you mean a digital photo frame? If so You probably need jpeg files, PSE only outputs the slideshow as a wmv or PDF file. But you can use File >> Export As New
    Then make some copy jpegs and copy or drag them to the SD card.

  • How to copy Configurator keychain items to user accounts

    I'm managing a lab of iPads in an education environment.  And have set up a "base" image for the iPads under an administrative account with Configurator.  The Macbook is bound to the domain and I can authenticate with a number of users no problem, but if I go to try and manage the iPads, i get a "private/public key" error.
    I've determined that the issue is with the Key items found under the keychain.  If I copy the administrative keychain to the users profile and log in (forcing the login keychain update) it will work fine under the users account.  but this is not something I want to do as it requires me to give out an administrative password. And if I delete the login keychain from the user template, the user generates new keys causing the error above.
    So... does any one have any ideas how to copy keychain items from one user to the template user?

    Move your itunes to library to a centralized folder.  For instance directly on your hard drive.  Then set your itunes library to that folder where all itunes media is kept, or only the items you wish to "share" between user accounts.
