Francis MarianiYes, that sounds right. While they're at it, they have to change FML to something else too

GinnyJakesTrust me, Tony. You are not going to want to code the PDF Layout Painter stuff by hand. What you can do, however, is code the pieces by hand or specific tool like Report Painter, etc. Then use the PDF tool to put them together. The Page Master stuff is really cool and you can create a TOC.

Francis MarianiAnd this really cool stuff like Page Master and TOC can be used in Excel, Powerpoint, HTML and Active reports as well as PDF?
I'd be surprised.

Tony AGinny,
I have coded the new stuff by hand and I find it "fairly" intuitive and it is the method I prefer to learn (sad I know). The more that I do the more that I will understand it (hopefully
) and being an old coder I just can't "get into" the GUI, it just takes too long.
I suppose that I will have to bite the bullet one day and use the other new abilities offered via the GUI, but only until I learn what code it produces and why.

PrarieWell get in there and and play around..cause I'm tying to figure out what kinda code it is producing at the beginning of each Fex...and how to change it. For instance...All this to make a compound EXL2K report.
SET HTMLARCHIVE=ON
COMPOUND LAYOUT PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
UNITS=IN, $
OBJECT=TOC, NAME='Table of Contents', METADATA='Table of Contents', TEXT='Table of Contents ok', MARKUP=OFF, TOC-NUMBERING=ON, POSITION=(0.750 0.854), DIMENSION=(7.000 9.500), font='ARIAL', color=RGB(0 0 0), size=10, TOC-FILL=DOTS, $
OBJECT=bookmarks ,$
SECTION=section1, LAYOUT=ON, METADATA='0.5^0.5^0.5^0.5', MERGE=OFF, ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT, PAGESIZE=Letter, $
PAGELAYOUT=1, NAME='Page 1', text='Page one', TOC-LEVEL=1, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.5, TOPMARGIN=0.5, METADATA='0^0.5^0^0.5', $
COMPONENT='report1', TEXT='report1', TOC-LEVEL=2, POSITION=(0.500 0.500), DIMENSION=(5.641 2.083), METADATA='Z-INDEX: 1; LEFT: 0.5in; WIDTH: 5.641in; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0.5in; HEIGHT: 2.083in', $
COMPONENT='report2', TEXT='report2', TOC-LEVEL=2, POSITION=(0.729 2.813), DIMENSION=(5.833 2.708), METADATA='Z-INDEX: 100; LEFT: 0.729in; WIDTH: 5.833in; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 2.813in; HEIGHT: 2.708in', $

Absolutely!
IBI have a trouble with naming =)
PDF Layout Tool - is not about only PDF.
FML - I never understood why it's financial
Dialog Manager - where the dialog? And manager?
"Managed Reporting" is confusing for me. (Is WebFOCUS wo MRE "unmanaged"?)
I think it's right to name WebFOCUS Client as just "Web Components".
As time passed I became used to this names.
But when I try to tell about WebFOCUS to someone new - confusion is guaranteed.

Carol DobsonIt's actually spelled Dialogue Manager.
If it's spelled wrong on a resume, I know the person doesn't know Dialgue Manager.

Tony ACarol,
I suppose it should matter whether English is your first language or else we would probably have the same reservations about people who spell colour as color! or those who use "z"s everywhere there
should be an "s".
