Track Text Edits for entire Book

In FMv8, is there a way to turn on/off 'Track Text Edits' for all documents in a book (outside of opening all documents and turing it on/off)?

Thanks for the suggestions. Since I do have FrameScript (5.1), I'm in luck. The following code works for me, maybe someone else can use it. Now about that forthcoming release ... :-)
Set PlatformEncodingMode = True;
New ScriptVar NewVar(eDocUtils) File('DocUtils');
Set gvBook = ActiveBook;
If gvBook = 0
LeaveSub;
EndIf
New SubVar NewVar(gvCallBackSub) SubName('ProcessDoc');
Set gvCount = eDocUtils.ForAllDocsInBook{gvBook,gvCallBackSub};
MsgBox Mode(Note) 'All changes have been accepted in the book.'
Sub ProcessDoc using pvDocVar
Execute FC KbdAcceptAllChange;
Execute FC KBDTRACKCHANGE;
Save Document;
Close Document;
EndSub

  • Can you change the format of text in Track Text Edits?

    My client wants changed text to be blue double-underlined. I can apply a character tag to changed text to create the double underline, but it will not change the color to blue from the default forest green.
    Is there a way to customize the format of the Track Text Edits text? Please help as soon as you can because I'm starting this project today using conditional text for the deletions and character formatting for the changes and insertions in this ~300 page book.
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Karen,
    The track edit changes are just special formats of Condition Catalog items that are unfortunately hardwired. You can save them as MIF, edit the color, e.g.
    <Condition
      <CTag `FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_ADDED'>
      <CState CShown>
      <CStyle CUnderline>
      <CSeparation 10>
      <CColor `Forest Green'>  <-- change to Blue ro whatever is defined in the Color catalog.
      <CAndCondition >
    > # end of Condition
    <Condition
      <CTag `FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_DELETED'>
      <CState CShown>
      <CStyle CStrike>
      <CSeparation 2>
      <CColor `Red'>
      <CAndCondition >
    > # end of Condition
    HOWEVER, FM dutifully changes these back when you re-open the MIF fle. No can do manually.
    IIRC, I believe that Rick Quatro has written a Framescript that does some magic here. You might want to contact him - see:

  • "Show Next" in Track Text Edits Skips Over Edited Text

    We use track text edits in our documents (using FM 10). However, we have noticed that when looking for the edits (i.e. by clicking "show next"), it skips over some edited content. Does anyone know why or how to fix this? Thanks!

    Arnis -
    I just updated to 10.0.2, and it didn't correct the problem.
    I'm not sure whether we are using other conditional text indicators. Can you give me examples of what that might mean?
    We don't typically perform searches like we do with the track text edits, but I just tested it, and it appeared to catch all of the paragraph tag and character formats I searched for.
    Error7103 -
    Yes, I believe everything is in the same flow. The first time we noticed the issue was in a table, so we thought that must be the issue. However, it happened again within a chapter that only contains text, so it must be something else altogether. I looked at the chapter again, and could pinpoint the place in the chapter where it would find the tracked text. It appears that there was a footnote that had a red section symbol (i.e. text symbol) at the end of it. I had to entirely replace the footnote so that the section symbol was black. Now it finds all of the tracked text with no problem. So, apparently that section symbol stopped the search function for some reason. It still isn't working properly in the document with the tables, but my guess is that it has something to do with the fact that it is searching tables and not just straight text.
    Do either of you know how to turn those section symbols black? Right now, they appear in black, green (i.e. added via track text edits), and red (i.e. deleted via track text edits). We can't seem to accept (or reject) the change associated with the section symbol.
    I apologize for the delay in responding - I was getting an error when trying to reply yesterday. Thank you both for responding and helping me troubleshoot!

  • Copy and paste ignores track text edit preview settings?

    Hi all,
    Working with FM9 and another editor that requires me to copy and paste from FM9 into the other.
    Enable and use tracking text edits in FM9.
    Preview Final to hide the edits.
    Copy and paste a paragraph that contains edits.
    When I paste into the target text editor, the "deleted" text is also displayed.
    Any way to prevent text hidden with a condition tag (which is how the tracking changes are marked) from being copied?
    -g

    I'm pretty sure the answer is no, not in FM itself. The only way would be to create a finalized FM doc with the changes accepted prior to copy / paste.
    It would be possible with a Framescript, though -- something like this:  the user copies the text,  hits a specified function key, the script pastes the text onto a special reference page, deletes the "deleted" text, recopies the text and then it beeps so that the user can then paste into the target editor.
    More info about Framescript at http://www.framescript.com and on the user group at

  • Where is the Inspector Window for Text Edit for Office Org.

    Where is the Inspector Window for Text Edit for Office Org.  My tool bar does not look like this.  It's only one line with font, Style, size, font color,  BIU, alignment, line spaces and indentation options.  The help says that this is how I adjust my page margins.  That is my goal.
    Thanks

    The name field must match that found in the email confirmation. Even a missing Mr. will cause it to fail.

  • FM9: Show conditional text for entire book -- how?

    In FM8, I would select all the docs in my book, then choose Special>Conditional Text>Show/Hide Conditional Text to display the conditional text dialog. Choose my display options (specific conditions, or Show All), then apply. Voila!
    In FM9, I can't seem to figure out how to do it. If I follow the same steps, when the dialog appears, all of the options are 'greyed out'.
    Help?

    Hmmm.... nope :-)
    Okay, I opened up my book (contains 17 documents, at least 12 of them have conditional text). I have two of the documents displayed so that I can see what's going on.
    To 'show all' conditional text for a specific document:
    - Click in the document to give it focus.
    - Click Show/Hide Conditional Text to display the pod.
    - Select Show All and click Apply.
    - Success, for that document.
    To 'show all' conditional text for the entire book:
    - Click in the book pod to give it focus.
    - Ctrl+A to select all the documents (all docs are now highlighted)
    - View > Show/Hide Conditional Text... to display the pod.
    - All options are grayed out, and no conditions appear in the Show or Hide lists.
    Am I missing a step somewhere (or more likely, am I doing this totally incorrectly)?
    Thanks!

  • Track Text Edit tags get trounced when applying additional tag?

    Hi all,
    Just upgraded to FM9.
    I opened a doc that was originall created in FM8.
    I had (and still have) enabled tracking of text edits, and can see the FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_ADDED and FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_DELETED tags when I highlight text.
    However, when I apply an additional tag to text that has been changed, the new tag is applied, but both of those are lost. So initially, I have this:
         This is my originalnew text.
    After I apply a conditional tag to the entire line, I get this:
         This is my originalnew text.
    There is no trace of the FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_ADDED and FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_DELETED tags.
    I've verified that working with user-defined tags works as expected (additive), so is there a known issue with the built-in tags getting trounced?
    -Greg

    Yes, I thought the tag names would match the version too, that was a surprise.
    Hang on a minute, I should have tested FM8 before I wrote this. Yes, it does seem to be a bug with FM9 -- in FM8 it works as you had indicated: applying a different condition is an "additive" step and it doesn't blow away the track changes. Mea culpa, Greg.
    Not to split hairs, but I'm not quite sure I could agree that this is a bug,
    [continued ...]
    I think it's more that the track changes is working "as designed" -- the original was created with limited functionality and it isn't integrated into standard FM conditional text practices as well as it should have been when it was "rolled into" FM.  I keep thinking of the medical phrase "first, do no harm"...
    If you haven't yet done so, you might consider posting to the Framers list in case anybody in the community happens to have come up with some workarounds:

  • Is there any way to track text edits made in pdf file

    when making text edits to a pdf document, i am interested to know ... is there any way to track these within acrobat.
    i.e. text added/deleted to the pdf and not commented.
    i am using acrobat version 11.0.09.
    many thanks in advance.

    Not really.  The best you can do is use the Compare Documents function to
    identify such changes after the fact.

  • No Great Solution for Record Multi-Voice Tracks and Edit for Mac? :(

    Let me see if I've finally got this right.
    I've got FinalCut Studio Pro which comes with SoundTrack Pro.
    I've got Logic Express.
    SoundTrack Pro cannot record from different channels from my Mixer, but it can edit pretty well and apply effects, such as Normalization, Silences and whatnot.
    Logic can record from different channels from my mixer but has no editing capabilities, except Garage-band-like and even there, GB seems to offer more. That is there's no normalization or other things.
    Okay, I accept that. But what I don't get is that in order to do something as simple as Record a podcast that has a Host on mic and 1 or 2 Skype callers coming into a Mixer (Mackie Onyx) and that mixer is routed to the Mac. In order to record each person on a different track, I have to:
    Load Logic and record the tracks individually.
    Export the Tracks as individual audio files.
    Import them into SoundTrack Pro and edit them there.
    Export them from SoundTrack to disk.
    re-Import them into Logic (or Garage Band) and export them ("mixdown") as MP3 (SoundTrack won't export as MP3).
    Wow, that's very unexpected.
    If I'm missing something, please let me know. This seems like a lot of "make fit" just to emulate what can be done in Adobe Audition on the PC. (Sadly, Audition doesn't run on Mac.)

    I suppose my question is more along the lines of what solution (I've purchased them all) allows you to Record and Edit multiple spoken tracks of audio?
    I've purchased:
    SoundTrack Pro
    SoundBooth
    Logic Express
    Audacity
    and of course I've upgraded to iLife 09.
    If one of these tools could allow you to select a section of audio from 1, 2, 3, or all tracks and delete it with a "Ripple Delete" option, then I'd be a happy guy.
    Right now:
    GarageBand doesn't allow you to delete and shift-left "ripple delete".
    As for Logic, I don't see ripple delete either.
    SoundTrack does do this but it only allow me to edit one Track at a time--open them all, but edit one, then the other, then the other. Lots of flipping around.
    With Audition (which is limited to Windows) I can select a section of 1, 2, 3, or all tracks, and delete that section, ripple or not.
    FYI: "Ripple" is a Final Cut Pro term.
    To be honest, no that I think about it... FinalCut Pro may be the best solution. Load everythign into it as separate tracks and have at it--at least it does it.
    Remember, I'm not a musician, nor do I record music, only audio for podcasting. (but don't equate "podcasting" to Video-podcasting as most people do).
    Anyway, my solution will be to load Virtual Box on the Mac. Record using Logic (which did a great job of recording onto multiple tracks) and then bring those AIF files into Adobe Audition under Windows in VirtualBox--or perhaps on a Networked PC.
    Of course the other solution (and perhaps less painful) would be to simply abandon the Mac entirely and move all this stuff onto the PC and only use the Mac for FinalCut Pro work. What a huge disappointment that would be.

  • Track Text Edits Change Bars

    FrameMaker 8.0 -- Change bars are showing up for adds but not for deletes. How do I get the bars to show up for both?

    Martha, I haven't seen this particular problem in either 8 or 9...
    My first thought was that some of the changes were included in other Conditional Text settings so that some of the changes weren't fully applied because some text was hidden by another condition... So you may want to check to see if there's any overlap. But that's just a guess.
    And one thing you can try is saving one of the files out to MIF to clean up any stray characters that may have crept in.

  • FM 8 -- Track Text Edits - Paragraph Marks

    FrameMaker 8.0 - After accepting all changes in a table, the change bars disappeared as expected but the paragraph marks remained green. How do I correct this?

    Hi Karen,
    I notice one thing that there is a "red hyphen" between "the end" in the first sentence which means there was a Deletion of a Space done, with TTE enabled.
    What I believe is happening, that deletions are getting accepted over here, in this specific FrameMaker document, hence you are missing a space between them.
    I would like you to do a test on the same document, so that we may verify if this is something specific to the document or not?
    1) Delete a compelete word/phrase from the same sentence, repeat the same procedure that removed the space and notice this time, is the word too getting ommited along with that space?
    2) Disable the TTE insert two spaces between 'the' and 'before', the Enable the TTE and write the same way as you had earlier, but begin adding text like as follows--
    I placed my cursor at the ONLY_NEW_WORD_INSERTED before where I started adding text.
    I wish,   I could illustrate these steps in a less confusing manner, But please try them and let me know if it clears few things for you?
    Good Luck, Karen.
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • How to increase the number of characters in Text Edit??

    Hi,
      How to increase the number of characters we enter in the Text Edit, for example i can't enter not more than 255 characters. If to enter upto 500 char, what to do.
    Thanks and regards,
    Karthik

    We can't restrict the number of characters a UI element can take. Rows and columns properties are to specify the visible no of rows and columns.
    If u want a restriction in the number of characters you have to create a simple type and set it to a context attribute and then map it to the text view.

  • No valid license for the book

    I have just bought a Hanvon ereader and it has adobe digital editions. I have authorised it as a device on my adobe digital editions on my computer and correctly transferred the book to my device but when I try to open it I get the message "no valid license for the book". Can anyone help me as this is the 2nd ereader I have tried with adobe digital editions and I haven't yet been able to read a library book on either one. My ereader is on the adobe supported devices list, it is a Hangwang Pty Ltd Wise reader N520.

    I want to add to this, after searching and reading many posts on this forum I have now checked the item info for the epub books I downloaded from my regional library and they say the followiing:
    Reading allowed on any device until 31/3/2014
    Copying not allowed
    This is frustrating as our regional library recommends download with Adobe Digital editions for reading books on any ereader device. Can anyone tell me how I can download direct to my ereader so I am not trying to copy from ADE on my pc to my ereader. I am desperate to get this sorted out.

  • How do I copy and paste text style for multiple video tracks?

    hello,
    I am creating multiple video tracks with text.  I want to easily copy and paste the style, i.e., Font, Color, Size - rather than having to scroll down the giant list of fonts to find the one I want, then change the color, then change the size - each and every time.  This is arduous.
    I tried copy / paste of one text onto a new video track, but when I type in a different word, it alters the original.
    I have 9 tracks of video for 9 different texts that will pop in and out of my video.  I would like to be able to copy/paste then just change the text.  This would save me a huge amount of time.

    paulrudophmusic
    I know of no way to alphabetized the Adobe Styles that come with the program.
    If you had the time and the inclination, you could rename them all to force them to appear alphabetically, but that does not seem all that practical.
    But, if your interest is in the Styles that you save and you do not hit the Reset File List, the new Styles will be at the bottom of the list and you can name them so that they appear that alphabetically at the bottom of the whole Styles list. But that does not address the matter of you having to scroll to the bottom of the Styles list.
    In some instances, some things that you think that you cannot do in Premiere Elements obvious features, can be done by computer keyboard shortcuts. I check the keyboard shortcuts under the Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization and unfortuately did not find any that would be applicable to this situation.
    As for your changes in one text file popping up unwantedly in another text file, that is because you have text files with the same name. Look into creating duplicates (with different file names) in Project Assets at the onset.

  • When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

    I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
    Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
    My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
    The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time  Please Help.G
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Yes, you're safe to continue.  That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed.  That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin.  Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
    Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
    Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.
