Left/Right - Alignment
Left/Right Alignment is a plug-in for FrameMaker that is supplied and installed with the FINALYSER.
Left/Right Alignment plug-in corrects the alignment of paragraphs of a specific source type or tables of a specific type.
For this, you enter corresponding type names in a table of the configuration file as follows:
*in the left-hand column, the type name on a left page and
*in the right -hand column, the corresponding type name on a right page.
For use on a single document, you must create one configuration file for each document.
For use on a book, you must create a book-specific configuration file. The condition for this is that in all the book components the type names that are listed in the configuration file are defined as formats (paragraph formats in the catalog and table formats as a table type). If format definitions are missing, the system does not update the book component and issues an error message for this component in the console.
For more information on editing the configuration file, refer to TemplOLR.fm.
After correct installation, the system loads Left/Right Alignment automatically when you start FrameMaker.Now, the Left/Right Alignment item is entered in the FINALYSER menu in FrameMaker’s menu bar.Left/Right Alignment will be active if a Document (or Book) has been selected.
To edit the configuration file, proceed as follows:
1. activate the document file (individual document or book).
2. Click on Left/Right Alignment>Edit configuration. If no configuration file is yet available, the system creates one using the TemplOLR.fm template. The system automatically names the configuration file DocumentName.olr and saves it to the document directory.
Proceed as follows to update the alignments of the paragraphs and tables in the document:
1. activate the document file (individual document or book).
2. Click on Left/Right Alignment>Update.
Hinweis: Book components will be saved automatically! You can prevent automatic saving by opening all the components before updating (Shift+File> Open All Files in Book).
