Re: X-Edit setup could be improved for reviewers

Re: X-Edit setup could be improved for reviewers

Yeah, you guys are right - the installation process for reviewers could have been lots easier.

Re: Flare as Frame Conversion Tool vs. Flare as Authoring Tool

Flare can be used as a single sourcing tool, in that you import existing content from Word of Frame and then start working in Flare all the time.

Re: Numbers and bullet styles not showing on FM import

Try importing one file. Then make the changes to the css you need to get the bullets you want - personally, I don't like the preformatted numbers and bullets available on the tool bar, so i want to specify my numbers and bullets.

Re: Importing FrameMaker files

It could still be the specific tiff files you are now trying to import. Tiffs are funny files because there are a wide range of things people can do in the format and it's still a tiff. But not all tiffs are created equal. So it could be something to do with how the specific one was made that's upse...

Re: Numbers and bullet styles not showing on FM import

Actually, there are a bunch of ways to work this, most of them before you import. I strongly suggest you go to my blog and download the Moving from Frame to Blaze Best Practices. Even tho it's geared to Blaze, much of it applies to Flare as well. madcapsoftware.wordpress.com Specifically, http://mad...
