What is FrameScript?

FrameScript is an add-on to Adobe FrameMaker that lets you write scripts to automate most parts of FrameMaker. For more information, visit www.FrameScript.com .

Other Things

• This is a wordfile.txt file for use with the Windows shareware text editor UltraEdit . Replace the wordfile.txt file that comes with UltraEdit with this one, and UltraEdit will show your FrameScripts with nice syntax coloring. (I can't remember where I got the original of this from. I modified it slightly to add a case-insensitive flag, etc.)
  UPDATE:
  • This has now been improved to show "run" and "sub" lines in UltraEdit's function list. (Use F8 to view this list.) Thanks to Elizabeth Raskob for that tip
    This works with UltraEdit 7. I believe the syntax of word lists may have changed slightly with UltraEdit 8 but I believe this will still work.
  • I hear that Version 8 of UltraEdit comes with FrameScript information built into the wordfile already, but I haven't tried it. If that's true, you don't need this file and you don't need to replace anything.
• A short tutorial on how variables are passed to and from subroutines in FrameScript. Variables In FrameScript Subroutines (PDF). Version 1.1, Revised 2001/03/06. [Some people are having trouble downloading things from this server.  If this doesn't come through correctly for you, email me.]
