You can change the cross-reference globally in eP. You don't have to do it in Framemaker. It changes just the x-ref format in the .chm output, not in the FM source. Also, you don't have to manually strip out your screenshots either. You can either conditionalize them the FM source, or you can set a paragraph tag such as FigureAnchor for the anchored frame that they are contained in and set the output for the tag to no output in eP. All this is available from the Styles interface in eP. What version of eP are using and yes, I would join the wwp-users group on Yahoo as recommended as well.

Hi everyone, This may be a procedural question. I write my manual (approx. 400 pages) using Frame 7.2. It includes lots of screenshots and cross references. To create my Help (.chm using ePublisher Pro), I make a copy of the entire book folder, strip out most of the screenshots, and have to change the cross reference format from Heading and Page to just Heading. I have 2 questions: 1) Is there an easier way to change the cross reference format (perhaps globally), and 2) Is there a way I can change the files the cross references reference from the original book to the Frame Help files? Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to make this easier and less labor intensive?
