Hello,
A big thank you to everyone who responded with good ideas on how to search the Archives. They work nicely and I am moving forward! I have a few questions that I hope this great resource can help me with: 1. I am working with Structured FM since I will be doing both print and web based help (using RoboHelp). I made an EDD from scratch using formatting, etc. and it seems to work very well with formatting my ensuing structured FM files. Is this the only "file" that I need to create? Or do I need a CSS, DTD, etc? 2. I made a few documents to put into a structured book. I added those files into my book. The structure view showed a NO NAME component (at the top, which I understand is correct) but dashed red lines to all the files, which I understand means there is problem with the document structure. How do I fix this? I imported the EDD from my files into my book- is this my problem? Do I need to make a separate EDD for a book structure, and then import that? If so, is there a template I can work off of? 3. I added a TOC to the book. My files all have Document (as the highest level element), with Title, Section and Head elements. The TOC does not show sub-chapters... i.e. I can make the TOC with all the titles, all the heads, all the sections, etc. showing up as individual parts of the TOC, but not one that shows the Title as the head chapter, and then a head as a sub-chapter. Help! 4. Does anyone have any familiarity with importing into Robohelp and creating a webhelp file based on FM? If so, question: when I import my FM document into Robo Help the TOC is still wrong (similar to the issues in question #3 - no sub-levels, etc). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 5. I tried to make a custom master page (with a footer and a logo in the top-right hand corner), and I saved it, and then mapped it to apply it to all my files in my book. When I went to apply it, it would not. Any suggestions? I don't want to make a master page for each FM doc in my book (for consistency's sake). Finally, I am brand new to FrameMaker. I have read the Adobe online PDF user manual for FM, the developer reference PDF, signed up and gone through Adobe online training, and have ordered the "Adobe FM7 Classroom in a book" book. Any other suggestions on how to best learn how to use this tool to its full extent?
