How can I insert Multiple, subtitled Figure the number in FM9 (PC)?

Greetings,

I'm a technical writer for 18 years who has not touched FrameMaker since version 6.02 (about 10 years ago) and I don't remember much except for its great complexity. Now I find myself in a new job, where I sometimes have cause to use FM9 on a Dell laptop. Most of our material is produced using Adobe ID, but if a customer sends us something on the FM band, then refer to them in this format, if they so request. So, for the case that concerns us...

I am to convert a technical manual of third-party of 'their' FM version based on our company available. Copy the graphic images of their manual to ours presented, surprisingly, a few problems. But now I have to add captions to graphics. Here's how I tried to do so far.

I use the text block and the toolbar icon to create a block of text under each graph. I enter my text (for example, "Widget X"), Center my text in the framework using the paragraph Designer, highlight and select Caption in the pulldown paragraph tag. Then I click on 'apply '. Ok. The format is knows I'm in Chapter 2, because the first legend came out as "Figure 2-1: Widget X". So far so good.

But now, when I try to add a caption in the following figure, Widget Y, I always 'Figure 2-1'. It is will, and of course I can't change it manually. I can not even highlight. What I will say is 'Figure 2-2'. And I want the caption to read "2-3". And so on.

I am open to completely change my approach to zero if need.

Help me, people from the forum, you're my only hope!

The numbering is not increment, because place the graphic in a block of text like that takes away those of the flow of current (i.e. each block of text acts as a separate entity).

There are several ways that you can accomplish what you want. I'm assuming that the graphics are in anchored frames and are designed to flow with the rest of the content (if not, then you are any approach is involved).

1. Enter the anchored now frame the chart legend text blocks. You will need to adjust the size of the had to adapt to the text of the legend.

2. using a table with two rows of construction. The chart is placed in the first cell and the legend in the second cell.

3. simply insert the figure of legend in a properly designed legend paratag after paragraph now framework anchored for the chart. No need for another block of text.

  • How can I distinguish multiple tabs of the same site in the tab bar?

    Hello

    I did some massive open courses online (MOOCs) and its been necessary to have several tabs open at the same time for the same site. I would like to be able to distinguish these tabs by being able to put a tag instead of the url of the site ('instructions', 'template', 'code', 'scratch', 'docs' etc. etc.) and/or a color code.

    Does anyone know if and how this can be done?

    Thank you very much

    Tabs of colors, but the author warns that it does not work with other tab-related extensions, you will probably need to continue to look for one that does everything you want:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/ColorfulTabs/

    If you can't find an extension of do-it-all, you can change the titles of tab with a userscript specific to this Web site. This is because the tab displays the text designated as its title page.

    You could "hard-code" the list of words for each page, or you might have a script to extract information from the page, for example, the first main star or some other kind of predictable data. The script then insert your favorite as the title of the page and Firefox text displayed on the tab.

    To see how that appears, to see if it would help, you could do this experiment:

    On a web page that contains text of the pointless tab, open the Web Console using Ctrl + alt + k (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + k). Paste the following code in the line at the bottom next to the caret, and press ENTER:

    document.title="Magic!";
    

    If you opt for a script written for it, you can try the forum calls on userscripts. org:

    Ideas and script requests - Userscripts.org

    Although some people are proposing small payments, that is not usually necessary to motivate people to help.

    Let me give you a brief warning on this site, however: last year, many popular scripts have been duplicated and reposted extra code that hijacks your Facebook account. Be careful when installing scripts, check the comments, make sure that there is no reference to Facebook.

    Hi Rita,.

    Assuming you are using Internet Explorer (IE) try this:
    • Open IE and go to the site that you want to display as you normally would.
    • Look in the upper right, next to the red X, there is a button that looks like two boxes in front of the other - it's restore down. Click on it and your IE window should shrink.
    • You can change the size of this window by pointing the mouse on the edges until it becomes double ended arrow, and then clicking on, now and making drag and drop your window screen by clicking on, hold and drag in the top bar.
    • Once you have it where you want that it and the size that you want, click on FILE > new window, or press CTRL + N.
    • This will open a new window of the same size on the same Web page, which you can then drag it where you want.
    • Repeat until you have enough windows IE open to do what you need.
    • When you are finished, right-click on the stack of icons of EI on the toolbar at the bottom and click "close all windows".
    If you use Chrome, it's more or less the same. MENU > new window or CTRL + N

  • How can I find several intersect between the number of lines

    Hello

    I created the table as below,

    CREATE TABLE "TRANS" (NUMBER (9.0) "TIDSET", "ITEM" NUMBER (9.0)); "."

    and insert valuse Trans table as below,

    insert into values trans (1,1) insert into values trans (1,3) insert into values trans (1.4); insert into values of trans (1.5); insert into trans values (1.6);
    insert into values trans (2.1); insert into values trans (2.2); insert into values trans (2, 4); insert into values trans (2,6), trans insert values (3,1);
    insert into values trans (3,2) insert into values trans (3.3) insert into values trans (3.6); insert into values trans (1, 2); insert into trans values (1,1);

    and now I have to find the intersection between the lines as below,

    Select tidset from whose point trans = 1
    intersect
    Select tidset in the point transwhere = 2
    intersect
    Select tidset from trans whose point = 3;

    If we have 1000 lines there is no way to find the intersect in this way, so I need to write a program to find the intersect as above without inserting the (item = N) manually each time, can you help me with this please?

    Thank you

    This is not true. The query you posted will work well for any number of lines. Perhaps you are really worried about the number of distinct values of the point.

    so I need to write a program to find the intersect as above without inserting the (item = N) manually each time, can you help me with this please?

    In a solution of Ivan, you probably mean "COUNT (DISTINCT point)" rather than "COUNT (*).
    In addition, if element values are predictable, you don't have to code in all hard; You can generate, like this:

    SELECT       tidset
    FROM       trans
    WHERE       item      IN (
                   SELECT     LEVEL
                   FROM     dual
                   CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= n
                 )
    GROUP BY  tidset
    HAVING       COUNT (DISTINCT item)     = n
    ;
    
  • How can I insert multiple pages in a specific order?

    I create reports in Word and convert them to Adobe before sending them to the customers. I often need to insert additional pages (Adobe) in the report before sending it out; Sometimes, I need to insert mulitple (20 or 30) pages. Anyone know how I can insert these pages in a specific order? A few times in the past, Adobe gave me the option to select the order, but lately this option did not come. Help!

    Have you tried to reverse the by clicking on the tab name in the menu selection. Then select the game and insert them. It's always the problem of their insertion in the reverse order of your list. I had heard of the order of selection using the key ctrl before, but never tried. I just tried reorganization with the name tab and it backwards. I did it with AA8.

  • How can I rename multiple versions of the same song at the same time in iTunes?

    I know how to change the other columns for several numbers at once using Get Info - but is it possible to change the column name to several items at once? that is several versions of Adeste faithful in my Christmas iTunes library that are not always spelled and I want to standardize the spelling. If you use Get Info for several pieces at the same time, the column name is not one of the listed areas.  Thank you!

    Unfortunately, the ability to update the value of name for two or more items in iTunes has been removed there are several versions (ISTR that it disappeared between 12.1 and 12.2).  I report it via the Apple iTunes comments page, but I suspect that it is considered a feature - which prevents users to rename accidentally several tracks - rather than a bug preventing legitimate usage.
