Statistics (Document/Book)
Statistics is a plug-in for FrameMaker that is supplied and installed with the FINALYSER. Statistics is for evaluating book files and individual documents.
Apply Statistics only for saved documents. Generated Lists in the book are not included in the evaluation of the objects.
After the evaluation, in the first table only text elements and objects are entered that are counted only on Body Pages:
*number of standard pages
*number of characters
*number of words
*number of lines (ends of lines + soft new lines + automatic new lines)
*number of pages
*number of tables
*number of table cells
*number of text lines
*number of copied graphics
*number of referenced graphics
*number of text insets
*number of variable
*number of cross-references
The number of Standard Pages is calculated according to the following formula:
Number of standard pages = total number of characters / 1760 characters
One standard page contains 32 lines of 55 characters.
The system does not count the characters included in the following objects:
*control characters (paragraphs, anchors, markers, ...) except for tabulators
*ends of lines
*soft new lines (shift-returns)
*automatic new lines
*hidden conditional text
*generated autonumbering characters in paragraphs
*generated character strings like variables and cross-references
*imported text (text insets), source documents are evaluated separately
(however, multiple-referenced documents only once)
The following objects contribute to charactercounting in table 1:
*spaces and tabulators
*suppress hyphenation symbol and discretionary hyphen
*all the printable characters that were not excluded above
Markers on all page types are entered in the second table:
*Number of standard markers of the type Header/Footer $1/2, Index, Comment, Subject, Author, Glossary and Hypertext/Alert listed in column "Standard 1“
*number of the user defined markers
*number of the additional standard markers in column "Standard 2“
*number of all markers.
In Table 3 you will find the sum of characters in the following objects:
*marker text (only markers of type "Standard 1“ and "user defined“)
*definition of Variable Formats
*definition of Cross-reference Formats
Remarks to Table 3:
*characters in Building Blocks (<...>) are not counted
*marker and definition text is displayed in the dimension Standard Pages
*in books the time and effort (e.g. translations) for definition text in Variables+Cross-references can be estimated differently:
if formatting in all chapters will be identical, using a template, only time and effort in the template has to be considered.
Statistics saves the evaluation in a FrameMaker file with the file nameSTATIST.fm
After correct installation, the system loads Statistics automatically when you start FrameMaker.
You generate an evaluation of a FrameMaker document as follows:
1. Activate the document you want to evaluate.
2. In the FINALYSER menu choose item Statistics.
3. In the Choose Language dialog box, highlight the language that you want to
evaluate.
