You are right, there is very little information out there about "Groups". There is an icon next to the add a folder icon that will add a group or it is available under the Insert menu when you have the book selected. Julie Sigrist 513-607-1444 From: Framers <framers-bounces+julie.sigrist=airbornemx....@lists.frameusers.com> On Behalf Of Tammy Van Boening Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2023 3:27 PM To: An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software. <framers@lists.frameusers.com> Subject: Re: [Framers] Section in a book So, in the online "help" for FM2019, there's a section about all the different things that you can add to a book, and there is a single entry that states "learn more about groups and how to add them," yet there is not a single explanation about what a group is/does and that statement is not even a link as the text implies. GRRR. . . This list, as usual, is the source of help.
