![]() ![]() If I could get out of using character formatting to show changed text (unfortunately, I do have to show changes on that granular level), then I wouldn’t have to use overrides for italic and bold. Yes, you can make the conditional text appear highlighted or not while you’re in Frame, but can you actually change the appearance of the text when you publish it (rather than just displaying or hiding it)? And when I publish to Robohelp, can I configure the conditional text such that it will appear as highlighted in its output? And for the PDF version without the highlighting, I still have to leave the conditional text visible, so can I control the appearance (i.e., highlighted or not) in the output via a template, or do I have to manually reconfigure each time I publish one way or the other? First, I am producing text for both PDF and Robohelp outputs, and I must produce two versions of the PDF: one with the highlights showing, and the other without. I had considered using conditional text for highlighting but I had some questions that I haven’t had time to research. This could be useful if you want to insert comments that are useful for internal review with colleagues, but should not appear in the end-user output (that is, Print/PDF, online help etc.). Also you can even decide to completely hide (!) conditionalized text. Now you can multiple things with this: First, you can simply hide the highlight (all other formattings remain intact) if you need to (and reactivate the highlight if you like) by simply de/activating the “Show Condition Indicators” setting. Just set up a set of conditional tags for each year and define a highlighting background color. And they are not useful if you need to indicate single words as changed.Īctually I like the idea of the highlights, and so I came to conditional tags. translation memory systems tend to not like them which can be a show stopper). ![]() But they have their drawbacks as well (e.g. That will make it much easier to use the process you outline to find them and to make sure that I’m only highlighting what I want in case I miss anything.įirst of all I would try to get rid of the overrides □Īnyway, as Barb writes, change bars are exactly the way to go. I really like your suggestion of coming up with a differently named tag for each year. In addition, the change indicator must appear in my RoboHelp output as well as in the PDF, so I think I’m stuck with highlighting. I wish I could use change bars, but we already have thousands of people in the company trained to expect highlighting. For more information on how to use change bars in Adobe FrameMaker, see. Change Bars are specifically meant to do this, and are easy to use. That said, while I like the design you have selected, this is going to be an ongoing headache for you. For that reason, I might call it 2012 Highlight this year, and 2013 Highlight next year, so that you don’t accidentally reactivate the highlights on last year’s changes. ![]() As you move through your document, you will be able to quickly remove the background color, but the tag name will still be lurking in your files. Press SH F8 to set the dialog box to As Is, and then uncheck Background Color. I think your best bet will be to use Edit > Find > Character Tag >, and then click on Find to navigate to the first instance. That’s a great question that doesn’t have a easy answer. The problem is that when you remove a character or paragraph tag from a catalog, it remains on the text. I’m hoping for a way to target and eliminate that one character tag specifically. as character overrides, I don’t want to just select all the text and do that. I found that Esc + o c p will remove a character tag from a selected string, but it also removes all override formatting as well. So, when I start my new release, I want to eliminate all of those tags as my first step. We use this to show what has changed from one release of the guide to the next. Here is my scenario: I only use one character tag for this project, which applies shading to a given string of text. Is it possible to search for a character tag through an entire document and remove it? Hey, your class was super helpful to me I am making great progress toward my 10/31 deadline! I have a question that I haven’t been able to find an answer to myself. From a recent Rocky Mountain Training Advanced Adobe FrameMaker 11 student: ![]()
